Cupcake mania

Finally putting all those cake decorating tips to good use! Ben and Carly came over on Friday and we spent some time decorating cupcakes. We had a good time--although, Ben lost interest quickly :) Carly decorated quite a few, and we ALL ate too much icing. (You don't even want to know what that icing is made of...) The final result is below...Hopefully you can tell the difference between the ones I decorated and the ones Ben & Carly did :) It was a lot of fun, and a moderate mess, but most 'fun stuff' generally is messy, right?!

On Saturday we had Krista, Eliud, Katie and Scott & Trish over to play games and eat way too much food. We had a really nice time, and got to see some of the Olympics. Then Krista destroyed everyone in a game of 'Settlers of Catan'. I can't believe how quickly Katie is growing up! She's working on getting pottie trained, and is talking so much now. It's amazing how quickly time goes by. The first time I even met Krista she was pregnant with Katie, and now she's almost 2!

On Sunday we went to church and then Edgar's parents came over for lunch and dad helped Edgar with the chair rail in the baby's room. CONSTRUCTION IS FINALLY BEGINNING! They measured it all out, and it is ready to be nailed up and painted. I will be sure to send pictures of the progress. I have a lot to do in the room, but I am excited to see how it all comes out.

Edgar also sanded down the armoire (can't guarantee the spelling on that word) so now it is ready to be painted white. After a hard day of work (well...except for me...) mom made some hot chocolate and we had grilled cheese sandwiches and hot chocolate for supper. The perfect end to a day!

Edgar and I watched the Olympics for a bit, and now we are headed off to bed. I will leave you with the newest picture of my ever growing belly...
