When daddy's gone....

Bryon was gone last week to Germany so the kids and I stayed busy.. here are a couple of things we did to amuse ourselves :)


Made Bryon's birthday cake! It is a Victorian Sponge Cake made the old fashioned way with an old English recipe. Turned out yummy! The British people make a great butter cream filling that they use for lots of deserts and I layered that with my homemade strawberry jam.

Oh yes.. we went to mommy's beauty shop. Did our nails, hair, jewelry, clothes and shoes.. Molly is so much fun now that she is getting older. Kinda like having a mini me to hang out with. What was Daniel doing you may ask.. the answer would be jumping in his jumper like a mad man.. his favorite activity.
