speaking of George... when Aaron wears his 'bad cop' sunglasses and has the sculpted stubble, they could be twins :)
i hate Betty Crocker. and don't get me started on Duncan Hines. it's a looong story but i am never - NEVER EVER - making a cake ever again. asshole volcano cake... (though thank you guardian angel Aaron for salvaging the world's biggest disaster from being hurled at 325mph at the wall)
today we got a piano! or as Danny calls it a 'pin-(long pause)-nanno'. it's still in the van since we ran out of enthusiasm and gusto by the time we got it home. now i neeeeed to move next door to a kindly lady who will give my boys piano lessons in return for coffee, scones and Flipping Out marathon companionship :)
"hate" is a really bad word in some (ever-increasingly-nauseating) circles but today it is truly the only word that fits the bill. i hate coupons. they're the work of the devil. i have this coupon burning a hole in my wallet for gap. i have to spend $75 to get 25% off.... it's just too tempting. though i have to admit i hate gap too these days. they are so "mac" and irritating i can barely stand them but i do so love their high key ads with gorgeous people of every ethnicity. anyways today in a bid to use my good coupon i tried on the 'long and lean' jeans. i am 5 feet 1.75 inches tall :| it seems soooo californian and disfunctional to buy 'long and lean' jeans in petite... so i decided to STOP THE INSANITY and walked out with just one stripey hat and one stripey hat only (which didn't cost $75 - sigh)
must go to bed, Aaron promised to braid my hair like Malia Obama tonight, for Danny's birthday party tomorrow. i hope he didn't forget :)
the birthday boy (as he refers to himself)
a family portrait - with baby diplodocus in T Wex's mouth
why baking sucks part 1
but bless his heart, he loved his (in dinosaur voice) "T WEX CAKE WITH M&Ms"!
why bedtime is sooo much easier (thank you MCJ!)
I absolutely love the family picture, and your dinosaur cake is perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, i TOTALLY know a crazy piano-teaching lady!!!! she likes bad tv and would glady be paid in scones....
ReplyDeletelast i heard she was relocating to either cape cod or leafwood lane...
that dino cake is super-cool. fun times.
His room is a work of art. Gorgeous pics.
ReplyDeleteDamnit..I promised myself I wouldn't forget his birthday. Aaaggghhh.
ReplyDeleteHappy BELATED birthday cute boy. It looks like it was a great day. I love your t-rex cake too. ;o)
