Just another day.......right?

Anticipation...
Satisfaction...
My boys faces just tell it all! They couldn't wait for Dad to blow out those candles.

Kristina out did herself again with this birthday cake for her daddy. The bottom held a Quiche dish size chocolate chip cookie. Above was a German Chocolate Cake with Vanilla AND Butter Coconut Icing. Only to be topped with shredded coconut, pecans and chunks of chocolate. A chocolate lovers dream.
We've been at cleaning all morning and most of yesterday. The common areas in the basement are clutter free and clean. Such an enjoyable experience to walk down there now. I'm concentrating my efforts on the little girls room. They are of the mind to set up their beds into bunks again. O.k. with me. I'm of the mind to de-clutter and organize their room. Throw out what I consider to be trash, (the whining you can only imagine), and give them the most for their space needs. The boys are loving listening to all the whining and are even attempting some of it themselves as teasing for the girls. The jokes on these guys! They're next!!! HAHAHAHA!


Here is the latest addition to my bag of "in progress" pieces. I absolutely love the colors in this piece and of course I can't seem to capture with the camera their beauty. Two shades of red, accented with a gorgeous blue and a unbelievably deep purple. I'm considering starting another piece in the next few days. All of these projects are beautiful, but very repetitious. I'm enjoying having the availability of different stitches in the different projects.
