Wilton Cakes Course 1 Class 3

Last night I made my 2nd cake in my decorating class. It is called the "clever clown cake" and was very fun to decorate!

I have included some pictures of that as well as a few of Hunter! Enjoy!

New Toy = Fun!

We bought the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Table today. Hunter LOVES it! I will add pictures tomorrow. He sits and laughs at it. I think he would have been just as happy having just the spoon/rattle that it comes with, but we won't tell his daddy that :-). I finished 2 more scrapbook pages today. I am so excited about the digital scrapbooking. My plan is to get copies made for each of the grandparents (8X8) and making albums for them to give as Christmas presents. I am thinking I will include about 20 pages in each of their book. At the rate I am going, I should have NO problems getting that many.

The tooth is in!

That wasn't quite as bad as I expected, but tonight was still not fun. The tooth broke through sometime this evening and man is it sharp! Hunter normally goes to bed at 6:30 and right now it is 10:07 and he is just now dozing off. I am tired.

I am REALLY enjoying digital scrapbooking. If you would have asked me 6 months ago if I was even remotely interested in digi scrapping, I would have said NO WAY! I very much love paper crafting, but with Hunter, it is just too much work to get everything out. With digi, I can scrap while he is nursing, sitting in my lap, etc. It is great. I have attached my "month pages" I have been creating! Enjoy!

I have started working on my application for a teaching job at my church's school. I am very excited about it. I would be teaching 2nd grade starting next August and Hunter would be in the day care center that is 6 doors down in the SAME HALLWAY as me! That would be a blessing and would definitely help calm my nerves about going back to work.

Houston.....we're getting a tooth!

So today was kind of rough for my little man! He was HAPPY as can be when he was with me, but anytime I set him down he screamed and cried until I picked him up. I looked in his mouth and there is a little bump on his bottom gum!! I think we are about to have our first tooth! How exciting. I gave him some teething tablets and tylenol and put him to bed at his normal time....it didn't work. He was up for 2 HOURS after that. He finally fell asleep at 8:45 and is still sleeping now! Hopefully he will get some rest tonight.

Wilton Cake Class

Last night was the 2nd night of my Wilton Cake Decorating Class at Hobby Lobby. The class is normally $30, but it was half off this month! So far, we have learned how to make icing, color icing, start the base of the rose, make stars, zig zag lines, borders and ice the cake. Last night was the first time we got to decorate a cake. We had our choice of doing a character cake (takes a long time) or the Rainbow Cake. I chose to make the rainbow cake so I could finish in class. I still didn't finish in class, but I only had to work on it for about 30 minutes when I got home. The class is so much fun and I can't wait until next week when we learn part 2 of the rose and decorate a clown cake!

I have included some pictures so you can see exactly what my cake looks like!
