Pasta Mishap

For my birthday, I requested that Chris make homemade pasta with meatballs. We don't frequently make homemade pasta, because it's messy and time consuming, but it is certainly delicious. Anyways, Chris was following the directions in which you need to make a well with the flour and combine the eggs to knead it into dough. Well, his "well" didn't quite work and eggs went everywhere! His hands were full of goo and he couldn't stop the eggs from going all over the place, quite a funny scene. Here are a few pictures of it.

Last of the Birthday Pictures

AJ really enjoyed his birthday weekend. He loved being around all his friends and family...and eating cake every night too! Here are a few more pictures from the weekend.

AJ and Cake

AJ enjoyed his birthday so much! He especially loved the cake. He had a jungle themed birthday, so I decided to try and make a monkey cake. I got the recipe from Martha Stewart and even watched the video online on how to make this cake. I didn't want to mess up his first birthday cake so I knew I needed to do a trial run. The first cake turned out great, and we enjoyed this cake on his actual birthday. Then I had to make another one...this one was wonderful too! However, I really don't want to see frosting for some time now! Here are some pictures of AJ enjoying cake!

Cooking with Tommy and AJ

Tommy and AJ love to play with the tupperware while I'm cooking. I think this is great, it occupies them for awhile and I can get stuff done while still watching them. The food they come up with is great too. Tommy has served me coffee with sprinkles, potatoes, soup, and pizza. Here are a few pictures of them playing.

First Snow!

Last Friday was the first official snow in Michigan! I thought it was just going to flurry, but it just kept coming and coming! The boys had so much fun watching the snow fall to the ground.

Happy Birthday, AJ!

Noah's Ark Party

Last week, Tommy's class had a Noah's Ark party and I went in to help out. I was able to spend the whole day with Tommy and his class. We had a blast, and Tommy was very well behaved! Here are a few pictures from the day.

Toy Story Tuesday

For most people this day is important because it's election day. Well, in the Cullen household, it's important because it's Toy Story Tuesday. Yes, that's right, Toy Story 3 is finally out on DVD. Yes, we own it and yes we have already watched it! Happy Toy Story Tuesday, everyone!
