Make Memories

Today is Nicole’s birthday so we have been really busy doing things. First thing this morning Nicole wanted eggs in a basket. She loves buttering the bread and cutting the holes.Then we went out to the garden and picked our pumpkins. They really could have used more time to ripen but they are just being carved so it does not matter much. They had a blast carving the pumpkins. This year they wanted to just draw their own designs and be silly. They have a four day weekend that started today so we could take our time and have fun with everything.

Nicole also helped make her birthday cake. It is more like a pile of sugar that Halloween exploded on. She picked out a chocolate fudge cake mix and chocolate fudge frosting. Then she added designs with a can of red frosting and decorator tips. We had a container of 6 different Halloween sprinkles so then she added that. To top it all off she added red hots. It is definitely tons of pile of sugar but it is her birthday.

For dinner she got to pick what we ate. She of course picked Arby’s roast beef melts. We do not have fast food in our little town so the girls only get it on special occasions like this. She LOVES roast beef melts. It has been so long that she forgot what a Jamocha shake was. She got all excited when she tasted coffee. I used to love those things back when I could eat bad foods.

Okay I should get back to our game. I just took a break from playing Lego Star Wars  because I needed Noelle to get me past the pod racing part. Nicole got sick of me making her lose and asked me to let Noelle do it.
