Random stuff, with pictures

 Above, Karina and I did some crafting one day and made some cute fake cupcakes inspired by some I saw in an Etsy shop.  We used this new craft stuff I found at Toys R Us called Whipple.  I think it's a lot like lightweight spackle, but in an icing bag.  It was fun and easy (Karina couldn't do that part).  When you first put the stuff on, it's kind of tacky so things stick to it.  It's kind of like real icing.  But it gets hard, and then everything is glued into it.  We're going to be giving some of these to family and friends, as well as Karina's teachers at preschool.  I got some more supplies to make more of them, it was so fun!  PS I wasn't paid or compensated by Toys R Us or Whipple.  It's just where I happened to find the stuff, and it just happens I did find it, used it, and liked it.

Here below is David's surprise party I threw for him.  My mom brought over this singing and dancing skeleton guy that Karina is really enjoying.  I labeled the food as things like "Flat Bones", "Deformed Bones", or "Elbows in Cheese".  That would be our bone-shaped sandwiches (thank you Mom for helping me cut them all!), Cheetos, and macaroni and cheese (thank you Nana for making that).

 And finally, here is my enormous, humongous, gigantic belly.  My mom swears that I only look pregnant from the side or front.  I think Karina laid sideways more, and this baby seems to be going straight out.  Nice to not look so heavy, but man, she is killing my back!  People, I am ONLY 31 weeks!!!  Can you imagine what I'm going to look like in about 2 more months??

You are so darn cute! :)

I love what you did for that party, and I just love all those little crafty things too, although it looks pretty darn messy!

Thanks, Blueviolet! I feel huge!
It was not as messy as it looks, it's just a horrible picture, he he. They were really pretty easy, and Karina put on all the sprinkles and decorations after I put on the icing.

I'm not sure if you followed my old blog much but I have a new one I'm trying to tell everyone about: http://raisinglittlered.blogspot.com/
