The Cirus is in Town

Cole Brothers Circus - the country's largest traveling circus under the big top is in town.

But who needs that when we have an in-house Cat-crobat? Or is that Acro-cat?

He works without a net. You don't think he's stupid enough to jump do you?

Comments and Smurfs

If a blogger blogs on Blogger and no one comments...
Does it really make a blog?

Of course all I can think of now is "Smurfette really smurfed that good, didn't she Papa Smurf?"

BTW Happy Smurfday! They turn 50 this year how isa that possible?

My Answer to the $4.00 Latte

Freeze regular coffee in cupcake tins. Have wonderful husband make you a doubleshot of espresso. Place 3 coffee "cupcakes" in a large glass. Add espresso, half and half, maybe even a little shot of a flavored creamer or caramel. Top off with fresh whipped cream - it helps to have a nifty dispenser like this one - just add fresh whipping cream a little sugar and maybe the flavoring of your choice (cheesecake this time) and find the perfect spot to enjoy. Like a newly built wall in your yard (more on that later).

Stuff in the Yard

We are lucky enough to have not just one, but TWO of the elusive Domestic New England Flamingo living nearby. Shhhhh! Don't tell too many people or the yard will be overtaken by Birders trying to get a look at this rare bird for their life list.

Naughty Monkey

This is what Tyler picked out to give his teacher at the end of the school year. Seriously. All by himself. Can you even stand it?

The best part is when she opened them and said that she had them in her hands and had almost bought them and her friend talked her out of it saying they were to impulsive and frivolous!

They really are very cool shoes - you can check out Naughty Monkey footwear here: http://www.naughty-monkey.com/

It was a great school year and I am soooo looking forward to not having to wake the boys on Monday and chase the bus all over town. I told them if I heard either of them up and out of bed before 7:00 on Monday it wouldn't be pretty. Of course you and I both know they will be up bright and early - my guess is 6:10. Maybe they will make me breakfast.

My cousin's shower

Jennifer's wedding shower was this weekend and it was lovely! Lunch was amazing - a super salad brunch, with chicken, grilled shrimp, grilled peppers, portabellos, and all sorts of fixins'! So nicely done, I'm thinking my next party is going to be a salad bar like that - I really enjoyed it and had to keep from going back up a third time...

Here is her cake, it was a yummy chocolate with caramel meringue buttercream filling and french vanilla with strawberry jam meringue buttercream filling with fresh strawberries.

If I get anymore pictures from anyone I will post them - like a dope I forgot my camera, so did Aunt Val, so we are working on photos to get to Rosemary.

Teacher's Appreciation Lunch last week

Can you even stand how cute he is?

Quick picture of latest crzay cake...

Will give full update and picture collage a bit later. But here is a shot of a bar mitzvah cake for 200 people. Glove, cleat, balls and bat are made from rice krispie treats. Hat is cake, too.

100 points to anyone who can figure out what this says....

Mother's Day Poem from Tyler

Working with Papa

Tyler helped Papa in the garage today putting up walls....
While Stephen used whatever he could find to build a rocket ship in the yard.

Busy week!

Had a few cakes to do last week, pretty busy week. Plus I will be adding Mother's Day, Tyler working with Dad while Stephen builds a rocket ship, the cat, etc... here's a few to get Aunt Val off my back!

A few graduation cakes:

For this one, the girl graduating is leaving for an internship at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
More to come.....

Where's Tyler?

Oh - there he is. Probably saying, "What did I do?"

This is the kind of cake you get from me when you are family!

I asked Stephen to draw a picture for me to print on the edible printer for K's cake. See the arrow pointing at her in the picture?

What YEAR is it?

I don't know what is scarier - the fact we left the house like this, or the fact we had clothes like this in the house to wear!!

It was a 40th birthday party - can you guess the theme? Tyler did ask me what happened to my hair. Personally I don't think it was big enough, and you can't see T's rattail hanging down his back.

Capacheno is getting bigger!

Must be the healthy food we are giving him!
Notice the desk is now clean because he won't nap unless he is either on or near someone.

Hockey Season is OVER (well almost!)

The Zamboni was an obvious choice for the end of the year party since I've already made the Stanley Cup and a Hockey Player. Any suggestions for next year are appreciated :-)

This is carved and covered in fondant and the back and sweeper are molded from cereal treats and covered in fondant as well.

Ty still has one game left for a championship - don't ask me which one! I will let him blog a bit later to let you all know how wonderful he is. LOL! The team did great this year, but now it is on to Lacrosse and Baseball - I hope it warms up out there. Stephen is ready!

Happy Easter!

Stephen helped design and make the cake for Easter, he helped smooth the fondant and made the big bunny on top - everyone made the stripes and it came out really cute!

Make a free ecard - it's easy!
