Monkeying Around

So today we decided to "monkey around" by trying on our HALLOWEEN COSTUME! This is Tucker Lane's 1st Halloween and I picked out his outfit like in August! HA I ordered it and got in in early Septemeber and still hadn't tried it on him?? WHO DOES THAT??

When I really think about it... I beilieve I did it on purpose. I was trying to avoid being let down. The costume was 6-12 month. Tucker was 4 months when I found it, and 5 months when I ordered it, and I was so NERVOUS it wasnt going to fit!! All I could do was keep reminding myself he will be 6 months on Halloween... and I'm sure it will fit! It just HAS TOO!

so I wanted to wait as long as I could before trying it on. HAHA

So TODAY I can finally say HORRAY IT FITS!!! MY LITTLE TUCKER IS the cutest MONKEY in the world!!! :)

Happy Halloween 2012

Hubby's Bday!

Happy 32nd B-day to the BEST hubby ever! :) He had one of the most amazing weekends ever! His celebrations just kept going and going. I think he out-did mine this year. I was lucky enough to celebrate mine in the hospital, but I did get the BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER, my preacious baby boy! So maybe I did have a better birthday! :)

AND THE CAKE BALLS! OH THE MEMORABLE CAKE BALLS! HAHA Something Stephen and I will always remember, but to everyone else an AMAZING DESSERT they wanted more of! :)

Little did everyone know... we had a DESSERT DISASTER 30 minutes before the party started! I'm not sure what happened? I was trying to make a bundt cake, but only half of it wanted to come out of the pan. SO I pieced it back together in the pan and left it over night thinking it would come out as a WHOLE the next day!

Well It didnt!

Yes... all you can say is a COMPLETE MESS! No worries.. I agree! HA So right before my MELT DOWN, my genius husband walked behind me and said, "Why don't you just make cake balls???

mmmmm... so I sent him to the store ASAP to get chocalate bark so I could dip the cakeballs in.

and this is what he came back with!
Really?? HAHAH

A GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATE BAR?

He said, well I was gonna get that almond bark stuff but it said Almond and I got confused. HAHA






But.. these people had NO IDEA!! And.. they turned out GREAT, so that's all that matters! After all.. it was the REAL STUFF!! Ya it was a little pricey, but it did say baking chocolate?? HAHA Just something to remember and laugh about.
