Here's a little recap of Audrey's birthday party that we had last weekend. We weren't going to really do anything big, and just have a little family dinner with Wade's grandparents. But they were still staying home and keeping it easy since his grandmother got back from her stay in the hospital. I still wanted to make a cake for Audrey though, even if it was just going to be the four of us because she deserves to be celebrated. And then, my awesome friend Kim told me that she was making pasta sauce and she and her family were coming over for dinner, thus forming an impromptu birthday party.
I promise this cake wasn't made of sewage (It was actually chocolate with chocolate buttercream frosting and I now understand how people like Paula Deen are famous. It just makes you want to keep eating and eating and eating). I'm just not so great at the picture-taking yet. And my dining room is a vacuum of light with its texturized walls and sponge painting, as you will see in the photos below. (Ohhhh man. I can't wait until Wade's summer break so I can get cracking on painting this house.)

The picture of Audrey on her new "bus" is so cute and funny to me. She picked out this adorable outfit for herself, and let me put her hair in tiny pigtails....and then put Crocs on. Oh, Audrey! Fashionable until the ankle. I love that girl.
Also! The most creatively talented girl I know, my friend Jenny Foust, made a header for me because she's the nicest. Thank you, Jenny Foust!! (In case you were wondering, I actually do say her entire name each time I say it. It just feels right.)

WHOA but she looks like a little kid in that last picture! Like, ALL little kid. And Crocs, while hideous on adults, are very fashion-forward in the preschool world!
P.S. Love the new banner!
Love the crazy cute cake face. That cake looks pretty amazing and gigantic! I'm glad you guys found a way to celebrate and looks like she fully appreciated it.
Ha, looks like a great time! You look adorable, and yes, I too hate sponge painting. Who ever decided that was a good idea/trend? That cake does look so tasty. I kind of want to eat that for breakfast.
Milo loves crocs too. He has a purple pair which might "disappear" suddenly sometime soon.
She does look like a kid now! I am squeeing all over the place that I have a real little girl and can put her hair in pigtails. This is possibly one of my greatest desires realized. I know, I am high.
Thank you! She did appreciate it, and asked for "Mo piiiieeeeee!" for days afterward. Heh!
Sponge painting is awful. And even worse is that they texturized the wall before they painted. What blows my mind is that something so crappy took so much time and effort from the former owners.
Cake is pretty much all I think about, and I would love a world where it could be eaten for breakfast every day. Ohhhhh, cake.
What is up with the crocs? Kids love them. I have a confession though: I own a pair, but they are used strictly for wearing in the yard and doing yucky yard stuff.
That header is NICE. I love it. Also, Audrey and I look a lot alike when eating cake.
