This week we’ve been gearing up for Luke’s fourth birthday. He chose funfetti cupcakes to bring to preschool so I had a late night moment alone with a funfetti mix and frosting. I am NOT an experienced cupcake baker, though I bake plenty. It’s something I’d love to learn! Meanwhile though, I am quite an experienced cupcake eater and I’ve seemed to find a way to ruin EVEN box mix cake. BUT this one came out okay! I don’t think I’ve ever cared as much as I did about these!<\/p>\n

We’re enjoying the rainy weeks\u2014and hail, which came over the weekend! That was so fascinating for the kiddos. And I love that pitter patter at night. But it is not easy to stay dry out there! I’ve been soaked a few more times than I’d like to admit, but mostly managed to keep the babies dry. I may need to get better rain gear. I’m sort of tired of walking around in my tall Hunters these days, need a less awkward boot that lets me catch running children, dogs, etc.<\/p>\n

If you look below, there is a picture of Emma sleeping on my mommas lap, and I have to laugh every time I look at it. She was sort of dozing and ended up going face forward down and just stayed like that for a chunk of time. Makes me smile.<\/p>\n

To get our wiggles out during the rain, we’ve been going to a little museum near our house. The pizza parlor they created below is magnificent! The kids spent so much time in there the other day, cooking up a storm for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’ve been trying to finish off my winter reading list and compiling the things I want to read this spring (which is here!). Currently reading Notes of a Native Son<\/em> (James Baldwin) and next in my queue is The Liturgical Year<\/em> by Sister Joan Chillister.<\/p>\n

We’ve got birthday plans for Luke this weekend and he’s been counting down the days til this one so we are looking forward to a birthday packed weekend! Happy Friday everyone \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
