April 17, 2007

7:00 Drop off.

7:15 Breakfast - blueberries and hot cereal.

We had a delightful morning with Alex. He decided that he wouldn't have to go swimming if he didn't get ready. So he wouldn't get dressed or get his swimsuit on and Jeremy had to carry him out to the car (which would have worked better if Jeremy had put him in the correct car). And there was lots of screaming involved.

7:40 I took Alex and Adam to swimming. Adam did awesome. By the end of the lesson he was sitting on the wall and plopping in and swimming 5 feet to me, all on his own volition. It amazing how much he's improved in just 6 days.

Alex lesson was ok. He kept grabbing onto the instructor so she put him in the 12 food deep end of the pool to show him he could float and the water would hold him up. He seemed to have a different memory of the lesson and was quite proud of floating and rolling, so I didn't bring up his negative attitude.

8:30 Jeremy brought Ariel to the pool, we all went home. And Jeremy reported back that he had to change another poopy diaper. Poor Jeremy :(

8:45 Ariel took a nap, I baked cupcakes for tonight's cake decorating class.

10:15 Ted and Ellen joined us for storytime at the library. Ariel ate gold fish and drank juice and was mostly quiet.

11:00 Lunch at the Southside Walnut Cafe. All three boys ordered the funny face pancake. Ariel wouldn't eat anything (well, besides her menu and a crayon). Not pancakes, fruit, or biscuit. Sigh.

12:00 Quick trip to the CU museum.

1:00 Ellen very (very very) generously took Adam and Alex with her to Ted's soccer practice.

1:30 Ariel and I met Jeremy at the dentist office. I had my mini-spa day and Jeremy took Ariel to the bike store and the bank (where she fell asleep).

2:15 Jeremy dropped sleeping Ariel off with me.

2:30 I took Ariel to Michael's to buy some more food coloring. Ariel didn't really wake up when I took her inside.

3:00 Home - I made frosting with my new mixer (which ROCKS) while Ariel slept.

3:30 Ariel woke up. I gave her some Mac & Cheese, which she ate half of before dropping on the floor. The ants are going to love that residue.

4:00 Ellen dropped the boys off. Alex had lots of fun at soccer and Adam was a bit sad that he was too little to play.

4:30 Pick up.

And here are the cupcakes that I decorated. My teacher ended up doing the ones that are blue and green, we ran out of time. See that person in front, that's Jeremy:

Those are gorgeous! I love the one that looks like grapes...so pretty!! My plain ones were delicious even without the decor, but that is seriously fancy! I'm impressed! And Alex is a rockin' soccer player!

Did you get yourself the Kitchen Aid stand-up mixer? :)

The cupcakes were SUPER good. Carl and Ariel ate most of it, I had a few bites though.

Thanks again :)

I DID get a kitchen aid.


Uh, but not the cool stand one that's $300. I realized that not only do I not have the money, but I also don't have the space in my kitchen. Some day :)
