Mother's Day and Lego's

Before I start with today I need to go back to yesterday, really Friday night. Friday night after we got home from a play date at Chuck E. Cheese with one of my online friends, I started making one of grandma's Mother's day presents. I had it all done and it looked great! Can you guess what I made:)-Yes it was a cake with raspberry jam-seedless cuz she can't have seeds. In the directions it said it could sit out for up to 2 days, which was great since there was barely any room in the fridge.

It was so pretty see....

Well, when we got up yesterday I looked at it and all the raspberries ran. When I opened the lid and it smelled terrible. So in the garbage it went! Hubby had to do the lawn so I ran out to the store with the kids as soon as we woke up to picked up everything I needed to remake the cake. Once we got home I washed the pans and cooling racks, mixed the batter, poured the batter in and baked. 33mins later the cakes were baked I took them out and while I was trying to make them flatter(a trick I learned at cake class) I burnt my wrist, then when I was trying to get one of the cakes out it broke in half! I figured great, I'll just try and work with it. As I'm doing all this daddy and N went to get our laundry and grandpa gave N some juice so he was carrying it home, he puts it in the fridge. I just started to do the filling on the cake when N tells me he wants the juice, he gives me his sippy and gets the juice like he always does for me, he gets to me and turns toward the living room he most have tripped or something cuz all I saw was the bottle go flying. It was plastic so at first I didn't think much of it. But when N moved a little I saw juice just flowing out of the bottle! It was ALL over the place, we are talking over half the bottle! Poor N was so upset cuz he thought he did something wrong. At this point, daddy had just gone back outside(for about 1min if that) to close the garage door and came back to the mess. Hubby was like I think we should just meet my mom at the mall, swimming may be pressing our luck! So that's what we ended up doing, I did make the second cake though it's not as pretty as the first, and it is in the fridge!

Here's the second one

It is slanted though you can't tell from the picture
Here is what N made Grandma all done by him(except the from Nathan 2008)

On to today. We didn't do anything or at lest I was trying not to! Hubby had to work and well I just didn't feel like doing much. I played with the kids. When M was down for her nap N and I rebuild a Lego house I had gotten.

A little background through Pampers you get these codes and you put them into their website and get points. Points lead to prizes/toys. I've been doing it since N was a few months old. I was trying to get this cool tricycle that had a handle so a parent could push(always loved those things) so I FINALLY got enough points and they stopped having that toy(of course!). So the next thing I liked was so Lego Gift Cards I ended up being able to get $100 worth so I got N the largest Lego box I could and then this house kit and some shower gifts for my brother (shh don't tell:) ) The box set is for Xmas, but the house was more for me, but figured N would get a kick out of helping me build it. Which the first time he wanted to help, but wasn't real sure what was going on they are a LOT smaller then his Mega Blocks. So on to the story.

Well today we broke down the house and build another one of the 3 house you can build with the kit. This time he had a lot more fun and keep trying to build a car(I mean truck) with the extra pieces. Which wasn't working well since the only "tire" were these really really small ones. So when we were out today I picked him up Lego car that said 7-12, but didn't really thing much of it.(M got some baby doll bottles, which she thinks is the greatest thing in the world!) After we had dinner(McDonald's since I decided I didn't want to cook-Yeah it's mother's day I'm allowed to be a little lazy!!) I put the car together it was a little over his age limit as far as trying to build it, but he loved it, cuz you just pull it back and it goes. But the whole reason for the LONG story was this.......

N's FIRST Lego Plane!!!

He was very proud of it he kept wanting me to take pictures of it!

Here is N with the car kit

He's also trying to build more things with the little "parts" he has at the moment. I can't wait for Christmas! Now little brother of mine this does not mean you can send all your old Lego's our way-at lest not yet ;)!
