IT IS!  Woo hoo!  What a long. exhausting. week.  Sick kids, a husband who has been on the night shift (and going in for pre-deployment stuff during the day), carpet cleaners, speech … TGIF!!!  Sharing some pics from the past couple weeks as I back up and move to the other hard drive.

kayleigh’s last night as a 6 year old.

the cake.  she wanted a two layer LPS cake.  so i did what I could.  Is it possible I am getting WORSE at cake decorating?  lol.  but she loved it.  i saved myself some time and bought CCC duff’s buttercream fondant.  it is $20 a tub (WHAT!), but I had a 50% off coupon.  for $10, i think it was worth it.   i just dread making marshmallow fondant anymore.

so she ended up with her own personal little cake!

we went to the american girl store here that opened a few months ago, and she got to pick out a new outfit for one of her AG dolls, and a brush (because their hair is out of control!).  i didn’t bring my camera, though.

then we got sick.  kayleigh was the only one who made it through with just a scratchy throat, but everyone else was MISERABLE.

charlotte was pretty crabby, but i was able to get some smiles out of her.  .

john is off from no until monday night – so hopefully we’ll have a nice relaxing weekend.  one can hope, eh?
