Our neice Molly celebrated her 2nd birthday last week.  Molly loves Elmo so I put my newly cake decorating skills to use!!  Here is the outcome!  Yes it is a little lop sided (is that a word?) but I just need to keep on practicing.  I really enjoyed making it.  I found a Sesame Street coloring book and they had just the right size of a Elmo head shot.  I cut it out, layed it on the cake and trace around it with a toothpick.  It was fairly easy being that there wasn't a lot of detail to the picture. It turned out fairly decent I guess.  All that matters is that Molly loved it!!

Howards big adventure

It was snowing like crazy here today.  On a typical snowy day we cannot get Mr. Goody Two Shoes to go outside and take a leak care of his business.  The last snow we had, Spenser had to go and clear a place in the yard just so Mr. PIcky would have a spot to go to.  Well today Howard became adventerous in the snow and decided, "hey  I like this stuff".  We usually take him out on a leash because he is a "runner".  Yep he likes to chase cars and go next door and visit his sugar mama "Jasmine".  I thought I would give ol' Howard a chance to explore today and see if he would hopefully begin to like this white "stuff" that we have been having waaay too much of. 

Here he is checking things out.....


Then the little turkey takes off into the woods...
can you spot him??
So Mason goes after him....

Ashlyn is giving instructions from kitchen window...
He's over there in the woods...don't you see him Mason?


If you look really hard you can see Mason and Howard running back home...



Here comes the little turkey!!




YIKES it's cold out here!!! We won't be letting Howard run free too much-
he is hard to track down!!
