"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Here she is (sleeping on the floor in her room) with her birthday balloon and stuffed animal. Silly Chloe likes the floor, where it is closer to the heating vent.









She was happy to wake up to the balloon! Olivia was happy too.






It was Playschool today, and it was our turn to bring the snack. So I made these fun ice cream cone cupcakes to take to share. They are just cupcakes inside the cone! Chloe picked out the green icing and green sprinkles. She loves green!












And this is how I transported them. I just cut out circles in a foil pan and turned it upside down. Easy peasy!







We also made these fun butterfly bag snacks too. The clothespin is the "body" of the butterfly, and pipe cleaners are the antennae. Chloe and Olivia had fun coloring them with me.





Half the baggie was Goldfish crackers and the other half were cucumbers and carrots!
