Because I am slow and seem to have very little time these days, I figured I would group the month of February together and fill you in on what we have been up to.
Emma went to the dentist for a check-up and cleaning. She did very well and had no cavities... yay!!
Emma & Ethan still love Rowena's noodle dishes as you can see from Ethan's mess, he could not shovel them in fast enough!
As you can also see, Ethan is needing a hair cut very badly!
The deep freeze finally left us and Emma's cabin fever was over. She enjoyed an afternoon playing in the snow with her dad. They made this snow man together, but I think Dann had more fun building it.
A friend of ours cuts hair at her house, so we took the kids for a "much needed" hair cut. They both did well and the price was right... $10 bucks a head!
Both of my boys were sick this past week.
Dann with a bad cold and flu and Ethan with an ear infection, bad cold and cutting three teeth.
Needless to say, Tylenol & Advil were their best friend... mine too!
I think they are both slowly on the mend.
I had to take Ethan to the hospital last Monday though. He was so sick!! After 5 hours in Emergency, which included chest x-rays, blood & urine samples, medication and an over all check-up, the Doc ruled out pneumonia and sent me home with a prescription for his ear infection.
Poor little guy....
Mamma's boy is not feeling well here.
His eyes say it all!
Even days after his meds, Ethan is still not his happy-go-lucky self (but he put forth such an effort to try and smile)!
My girlfriend (co-worker) just had a baby girl and myself and another girl from work hosted a baby shower for the new mommy today.
I remember years ago on "Sex & the City", I believe Miranda received a diaper cake at her baby shower. I had since forgotten about this until my friend Janny brought it up when we were chattin' this week. She told me to look up "diaper cakes" on the Internet, so I did. The cakes were very cute (but very expensive).
I decided I should try putting one together for my friend's baby shower.
Dann helped me build it last night, and this was the end result...
Not bad for the first attempt!
Now I want more of my friends to "give birth" so I can make more!
Here are the cupcakes Holly & I made for the baby shower. We got the idea out of a Martha Stewart Baby Mag. Although Martha's resembled baby lambs a bit better, we thought they turned out well for two "cupcake lamb makin' virgins"... lol!
The final pic is of the guest of honer... Brooklyn.
She received her first dolly and grasped onto it while she slept so peacefully in a friend's arms.
TOO CUTE!!
That's all folks!

great diaper cake.....you did such a nice job on it....all it needs is a knit hat to top it off!!!!!
heeheee....
poor ethan, he looks like such a trooper trying to smile!
Argh...those damn ear infections.
Hey! Cool diaper cake. I am just wondering why you don't have a side business with baskets and diaper cakes etc...??? Jenny could add in hats and barrettes and I could contribute some lovely homemade diaper rash cream... We could make a great side-living with our cleverness.
Ear infections are rotten. We had our fair share last year. Knock on wood, we've only got one under our belt for this year.
Poor Ethan he sure does look under the weather. What a super cake idea....yes, Bean has a good idea, you talented girls should start gift baskets or something!
Hope your snow is melting....
Great job at the dentist Emma...what a good boy while getting your hair cut (Emma too)
When you told me about the diaper cake I was trying to visualize what it would look like ...nothing like what I thought! Great job!!!
See you soon - can hardly wait.
