Thursday, April 15: I came home to the table set…but where is my pretty tablecloth?

Friday, April 16: So, I went out to get my toes done and eat dinner with Shannon and Tonna and had so much fun! The guy said I would be “bloomin” if I got a flower on my big toe…so I did!

Saturday, April 17th: Yes, I still have my Easter stuff in my jars. OOPS!

Sunday, April 18th: Just thought these eggs deserved a close up! These were so fun to make!

Monday, April 6: So…we decided that since this is WAY too heavy to carry up the stairs, we would just leave it at the old house.

Tuesday, April 7: So Jonathan has been working on tearing out all the carpet and putting down hard wood floor in our old house. Faith likes to help!

Thursday, April 2: Caitlyn is SUPER tired at dinner!!!

Friday, April 3: WOW! So, this is what the girls’ room looked like before toys, clothes, tvs, and beds!

Saturday, April 4: Three years ago, he walked into our life. Today, he goes to join a new family. He is not the one we originally were trying to get rid of first. I cried a lot this night!

Sunday, April 5: Jonathan decided to volunteer to be an angel at church!

We had a SUPER busy Easter but had SO much fun! First, the girls

We went to Ikea and got some tabletops to make a desk in our office and I got to sit and work on a project last night for the first time w/o rolling ten million things into the living room.

I went out with a couple of the girls from my team on Friday. We went and got pedicures (which tickled my foot) and then the guy told me I would be “bloomin” if I got a flower…so I did. I’ll post it on 365. Speaking of….I’m really behind…I have been having to rely on my phone camera because my batteries are dead and I had misplaced my charger. I PROMISE I’ll update it. I’m not backin’ out on that

I’m in the middle of making cakes to make cake balls for our Volunteer Luncheon on Friday. SO…120 cake balls! Thank goodness I will have little helpers coming over to help me tomorrow (AKA my team). I have to say that I am totally excited about having them over, turning on Grey’s Anatomy (which is all new) and making cake balls. We may even order pizza!!  I dunno…that is just a thought at this point, but I figure after Amy and I go get stuff for our t shirt, get back to the house, all of us will be hungry…maybe…we’ll see.

DWTS…Very glad with the decision of them kicking off that football player.

First off, we decided that cake pops were a MUST along with “cuppie cakes”. You can learn all about them here.  We planned, made lists, bought lots of stuff, and it all came together.

Here are some pictures of the decor:

I also made a SUPER cute clothesline of pictures of Faith, but for some reason I accidentally deleted it…I think…so, Brooke if you have that pic, I would love it

So, now here are pictures of the SUPER cute “Cuppie Cakes” that Brooke and I made. She made red velvet ones in brown and pink (I LOVE those colors…if we have another baby and it’s another girl, that will be our nursery colors). I chose to make Rainbow Chip cake with white and blue candy melts.

Then the Cake Pops…we put some in a holder and some in a pretty tea cup:

Then, our beatiful jug…now…before you look…just know that I underestimated how much lemonade to make. I’ll know next time how much this thing will hold!

Now for the party…first off was necklace making as the girls arrived.

Then we dressed up the girls in their hats, boas, pearls, and gloves.

Then we had them decorate their own cupcakes after Faith blew out her candle:

Then, because the girls were all sugared up…I think Sidney had three cupcakes We decided to have a dance party!!!

And what would this post be w/o a silly Jonathan picture? Here ya’ go!

So, we had more people tell Brooke and I that we need to do party planning instead or in addition to teaching. My co-worker has already asked to have us do her daughter’s fourth birthday. It was so much fun to plan and to see through!

Monday, March 23: I bought these cute file folders at Walmart to make my desk look cute

Tuesday, March 24: My math wall…by the end of the year it will hopefully be filled up with stuff

Wednesday, March 25: This is next to my math wall and holds almost all of our graphs…I say almost because we do SO MANY graphs that it is difficult to fit them all.

**BTW…are you noticing a theme in these pictures…I spend quite a bit of time at school…I think I’m almost done with these pics, though**

Thursday, March 26: Yep, this is the last I believe. This is my word wall. Notice that “H” has LOTS of words.

Friday, March 27: We had decided to move into a house that I thought wouldn’t be ready until May…but today, Jonathan called me at school to tell me we could move in this weekend!  (Note: I would post the front, but due to stalker worries, we will post this picture of our living room instead).

Saturday, March 28th: Today we had a tea party for Faith at the O’Toole house. It was so much fun!!!!

Sunday, March 29: Ryan, Jonathan, and I began moving our stuff. This sign was officially placed in the yard later that day.
