Blue-alicious!

Layla's favorite book right now is called Pinkalicious. We read it every night before she goes to bed and she thinks it is the funniest thing ever. It is about a girl who makes pink cupcakes and then eats so many that she turns pink. We have read it so many times she now has it memorized word for word so she reads it herself before bed now. Anyway, she has been saying for the longest time that she wants to make blue cupcakes (blue is her favorite color) and I kept teasing her that if we made blue cupcakes that she would wake up the next morning and be blue. So yesterday we finally got around to making the blue cupcakes. She loves cooking so she had a blast and loved putting the blue food coloring in. After they were all done and frosted she ate one and then also ate another one for dessert. The next morning I hear her saying my name (waking me up, I should say) and when I look at her she tells me "see, Mom, I'm not blue!"

Happy Birthday, Best Friend

Yesterday was my best friend Desirae's birthday. She turned the big 24 so we had to go out to celebrate. We went to the casino to watch a burlesque show, it was so much fun. Definitely something different/unique to do other than going out to a club or a bar. Although, after the show we did go to Tilted Kilt for some food and the birthday girl had to have a few more drinks! We had a great night and I hope my best friend had a great birthday!
