Playing, friends, and cake

What a day!

We were busy all day today... collapsing on the couch for a little while!

I had an appointment this morning at 1030. At 1115, my mom and I (along with the MIL) took the kiddos to McDonalds to let them play for a little while. They love going there and running!! I love the adult conversation while they play :)

After McDonald's I took them to Tami's to play.... again, they love going there and playing.... I love the adult conversation! Tami and I spent over an hour looking through Pinterest and Realtor.com! Fun stuff...it's always fun to dream of all the cool stuff you can find on both of those sites :)

When we were leaving Tami's she decided to go with us to make a Target run. We let the kids look at a few of the toy aisles before making them behave so Tami and I could look at groceries! In spite of the fact that the twins didn't get naps, they were surprisingly well-behaved! I bought stuff to make a Kahlua cake ... I CAN'T WAIT!

I try to keep myself busy when Tim isn't home... can you tell?? LOL

After our Target run, I took Tami back home, then we headed back home. We had been out for almost 8 hours! (poor puppies...I'm sure their little bladders were aching!)

Got home and Bella insisted on watching an episode of Caillou. After that was over, twinkies went to bed and Big Boys and I baked a cake! When the Halloween stuff was on clearance at Walmart,

I bought a confetti cake mix with confetti icing for like $1.25 total! These pics are of my big helpers: Xander and Asher! (side note: I ALWAYS make him crack eggs into a cup instead of into the mix... just in case he gets shells in there! LOL)
Now, the cake is cooling, awaiting the icing!! We'll dig in tomorrow since, by the time it's cool enough to put icing on, the kids will all be in bed! I promised the boys they can put the sprinkles on top tomorrow before we get to eat it!

I'm totally exhausted... can't wait until my head hits my pillow!

*additional note: I just hit publish, then Xander says to me, "Mommy, I had so much fun today that I just want to give you a big hug and kiss!" I may be exhausted, but it's all worth it when the day ends with that kind of comment :)

*additional note #2....
