And a merry Mardi Gras to you

So this was my first attempt at a king cake. I feel it turned out pretty well. And it was super yummy. Though we still have some left and no one was crowned king.

So, this past Saturday we had a belated birthday bash, er, get together for Tarehna. Her birthday, as you may know, was way back on Christmas, but what with the snowpacolypse and everything we had to postpone the festivities until, yes, Feb 21. Anyway, here is a cross section shot of the awesome rainbow cupcakes Tarehna made for everybody.
How jealous are you?

Finn Swings

Went to the park the other day and had a great time. Preston told all the other kids his name was Luke and that I was Sarah Jane. He's a big fan of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Finn swung for the second time, and despite what it may sound like he was really enjoying himself.

We did some crafts and had a pretty good time. Preston made this all by himself. And even though Tarehna tried to explain that arrows through hearts has to do with Cupid and love, he decided it meant they were dead. Good times

Finn the comic book hero

And here's finney in comic book form, also done at be funky. A very fun site--no registration necessary, and it works with facebook, flickr, picasa, myspace or will take photos off your computer and let you save them or send them as email.

Preston got the idea to do this off a CBBC show called Mister Maker.
It's his new favorite show. Maybe we'll do a pasta robot next.

Cutest baby ever

Really nothing else to say.

Flour Power

Preston played with flour while papa made rolls. Didn't get any pictures of the rolls, but they weren't as cute as this guy.

Swinging at the park


Went to a nearby park yesterday and Preston was so excited to push Finny he ran in front of a girl on the up swing and smashed into her. Both were OK and Preston got to push little brother, gently, very gently.

Chalkboard table from above

So, we painted the dining room table with chalkboard paint. It's great for just drawing and might be useful for keeping score on game night. You know, if we ever got around to actually doing game night.
