Not Getting Much Done These Days

Well, Prom Season is upon me.  And these extended hours pretty much suck Easter Eggs.  I've decided not to get out of bed today.  It's my only day off and I'm gonna do what I want.  Which is complete b.s. because I have 4 kids.

I did get breakfast in bed from Sierra, and Ethan made me a tea.  I was feeling loved and missed until Rich just came in and burst my bubble.  Apparently, at least Ethan, may have ulterior motives.  There may be some buttering up going on...

 These necklaces are the result of my jewelry making experiments from a few weeks ago.  I strung and restrung several times.  It does, in fact, pay to read instructions first and make sure you have everything you need before you start this sort of project.  I really like my leaf necklace.  It's really heavy, though.  And, it's spring so I won't be wearing it for a long time.  I like the buttons, as well.  It's too short, as I have the neck of a linebacker.  I bought some chain to add to the back. It's also not very comfortable to wear, a little scratchy.  The chain may solve that for me, too.  An important lesson here was to use thicker wire.  I kept breaking it...

Last Sunday I made an Easter wreath.  My old one was looking pretty pitiful.  I was inspired by Pinerest on this one.  It took WAY more eggs to make it than I expected.  I used the 2 bags I bought plus most of the Easter Bunny's eggs and almost all of my glue sticks.  Jeesh.

This little bunny wall hanging is from the Red Brolly blog that I follow, whom I LOVE.  She has several super adorable Easter designs.  This one was a pincushion.  I made it into a wall hanging for my cubicle.  I was able to use scraps from my '30s block of the month.

 Hunter's graduation invitations!  I started them last weekend and finished them this morning.  I ran out of the red paper from Archiver's and had to get more after work yesterday.  That doesn't seem so bad until you realize I've worked 6, 9 hour days, drove 30 min. to Fairview & then another 30 home....

He just told me they were "legit".  Mission accomplished.

If he doesn't graduate, I'm still throwing the party... decorations are being collected on Pinterest.

What's left of the Bunny Chow I made this week.  Apparently it was a hit.  Ingredients: unbuttered popcorn drizzled in pink almond bark, pretzel m & m's, blue rice crispy treat crumbles.  And soon, you have a nearly empty bag....


What do you get when you combine all the ingredients below?  2 kids with respiratory infections, a bikini cake, and kids that are wishful for DQ.  Not sure what the steak knife is for.  Protection?
 

There has been much discussion on the size of the bikini cake's boobs.  I remember my Aunt Betty making it with SnoBalls but the internet says to use the Wilton's ball cake pan.  I think it's because of implants.  We're going to do a dry run with the SnoBalls.  If it looks dumb, we'll use the ball pan on Hunter's birthday.  But to accommodate boobs that size, I'll have to buy a sheet pan and make enough cake to feed 30 perverts.  I mean people:)

I believe that is all I have to report for now.  Stay tuned for the boob size outcome.
