Saturday-Friday Backwards Week update!

Wow this week as been weird and insane! Here are some pictures of the less insane week. On this post all of the pictures are backwards in time! :-) Starting with Friday(today) going to last Saturday!

1/2 asleep! The finished product: Manda made carnival funnel cakes for a after lunch treat!

Some of the cakes on a plate! they were really easy and quick to make and they tasted like the real thing! (or so I was told..I've never had real funnel cakes)

Frying em up!

John's birthday! Opening the last present!

Niki's present to John which he LOVED!!!

Shorts from Babs...He was pretty excited, and couldn't wait to wear them!

His card!

John and his cake!

Blowing out his tigger cake! there is acctually a funny story behind the cake... John asked for a lemon tigger cake and I was fine with trying to figure it out. So I baked the cake hade a cream cheese frosting for it and started to look for the food coloring. No yellow! We had every other color but no yellow. I started to worry a bit! I called several neighbors and finally one wonderful neighbor let me borrow her yellow food coloring! Thank you Addy! I could not have made tigger with out it, not that the tigger is anyting great.. :-( oh well! :-)


Singing "Happy Birthday" :-)

These noise makers were a bad idea, but the kids sure had fun!

Papa John's Pizza was the requested food for the birthday boy! Yummy!!

On Saturday our church had a mother/daughter tea, it was wonderful!
Abby in the dress up parade!
I hope you all have a great week! Stay safe and God bless!

Ok, I know..... I need to update!!!!! I started online college courses in January and I *thought* that I would be fine taking just two. Well not paying attention, I signed up for two ACCELERATED courses!!! Hehe!! Blond moment...... So that is why I've been busy! So far I've been doing great as far as college grades and that is a blessing! I'm going to try teaching Becca how to blog and possibly she can keep y'all up to date. Above are January pics. I'm thinking about starting a video blog once a week. I'll let you know if I do! Bye for now..... Manda
