fancy nancy is my name, making cakes is my game!!

my niece is turning 5 and having a fancy nancy party. if you have all boys for children, like me, you might say, "fancy who?" that's exactly what i said when my sister asked me to make her fancy nancy cake. after searching on the web for two seconds, i was in love with nancy, and everything that makes her fancy! we found two cakes on the web that we loved and combined them to make one *fancy* birthday cake! i spent the afternoon at my parents house making the cake. it was so much fun!! i wish there was a fancy nancy song, because you all know i would totally be singing it, in harmony, no doubt. anyway, here is the picture of the cake. the party is tomorrow and all the girls are dressing up. tiff asked me to go to help with the party. you better believe i will be a.f.a.p. (as fancy as possible.) i don't have anything fancy, but i'll just throw on my old bridesmaid dress and wear a crown!!
carson said more funny things today, as usual. we were just leaving for preschool and i was singing a silly song to him. i glanced back at him and of course, he was picking his nose. i said, "i hope you're not picking your boogies and eating them." he said, " of course not! i helping my mustache grow in. see." i looked back and he was "picking" at his mustache area. i was dying.
then at preschool, we were gluing and i was using a new glue that tiff got. it's clear instead of white. apparently carson had gotten it all over his hands. from the corner of my eye i saw him look at his hands then wipe them on his shirt. the other kids at his table were all nervous for him and "oh-ing", like he's going to be in trouble. then he said, "guys, good thing it's clear glue and my shirt is white. that's convenient." i was totally laughing. these might not sound so funny just reading them, but his tone of voice is hilarious. he doesn't sound like a four year old. he's so matter-of-fact. here is a picture of him dead-asleep in the car when we got home about 15 minutes ago. he's totally bent over sideways, poor guy. enjoy!

fancy nancy loves her sunglasses, tea sets and ballet slippers, butterflies and flowers. on top of the cake is another cake in the shape of a pillow fully equipped with tassels. there is a fondant tea set on the right side of the pillow and ballet slippers on the left, but you can't see them from this angle. sunglasses on the bottom next to some feathers and flowers. on top of the pillow cake is a crown, behind that are feathers, flowers and butterflies. there are bits of sparkle, also hard to see in the picture. hopefully tomorrow i will get a better picture.

ummm... yeah...ouch. and falling asleep right in the middle of eating frosted shredded wheat too.

carson and i homemade slurpees on tuesday. it was super fun!! i also found the timer on the camera that we've had for 4 years. better late than never!
