Slumber Party, Shipping Off and Sales

These last few days have been great. Wednesday was my sweet nephew Jonathan's 5th birthday. After going out to eat the boys came over for a slumber party. Thursday, my little brother Gil moved into the dorms for his first year of college (sniff sniff). I sadly forgot my camera but it was bittersweet moving him in. Friday Claire and I picked up some great deals at a garage sale. I was never into garage/yard sales, but recently a couple friends have convinced me that especially when you have kiddos you can find some great items at amazing prices. This morning's steal...Mega Blocks doll houses. I got all four doll houses with their accessories for $5! I was on a mission for new fall shoes for Claire, but when she found this box of goodies, I coulnd't resist. She played with it all day - she even got her daddy to play too :)



Claire was trying to sit in the house too.

Tony's sister Misty gave birth to a sweet baby girl on August 11. We got to go up and visit the new family this past weekend. It was a hot day, but Papaw still managed to get some fun pictures of everyone outside enjoying the sunshine.

My Little Baker

Like mother like daughter...As many of you know one of my favorite hobbies is to bake, especially desserts. Well I have recently found out Claire too loves to bake. Today we baked a chocolate cake with chocolate icing (from scratch) it was very yummy!
