LOTS of Summer Stuff

We've been busy at my house this Summer.  It's hard to believe that I have a little less than three weeks before I have to go back to work.  The real bummer is that Sunny doesn't start school until four weeks after I do. I hate leaving her at daycare all day.  I've actually never had to do it before :(  I don't want to leave my little boy either.  He will be 3 months old in three more days.  I can't believe we've had him that long. 

The cutest thing Reece does right now is say I love you.  No, he doesn't say it very clear, but he copies the sounds and repeats it back.  It kinda sounds like the dogs who say I love you, but its still the cutest thing ever! 

Sunny has been busy outside in the pool, just playing, and crafting with her mama.  She had a couple of friends over the other day.  I'll call it cakes and snakes day because we made cupcakes in a jar and snakes out of old tights.

Cupcakes in a Jar

I got the idea here.

I modified this from something I saw on a blog.  Here is a tutorial for a better version if you have the time and are interested.

Stuffing snakes...

These delicious cupcakes are Cherry Limeade flavored.  I found them on a blog called Good Life Eats.  I made a slight modification in that I used a lemon boxed cake instead of making the homemade version.  Another person suggested that.  I decided on it after comparing prices of the ingredients in the homemade version based on the boxed.  It really came down to saving money.  If you want the recipe, go here.  This was our Fourth of July treat.  Thanks to the Walton family for hosting some food and fireworks. 

And, in case you are wondering, I did finish the dress I was making for Sunny.  However, I did not really document it in pictures as I'd hoped.  I just didn't have enough time or energy since having Reece.  I'm sad to say I didn't even take a picture of Sunny wearing it to church.  Maybe next time.
