One of those days. . .

how often do you run into crazy people? Well for me not very often. . this morning was one crazy morning and ran into one crazy person. LOL 


All the kids in the Cadriel home are sick including mommy, it is hot outside, tylenol is not taking this headache away. . What more can happen today. Going to get dinner started and to bed early thera flu tea is my savior=) 

Heat wave

Boy was it hot out this morning, at 7:05 standing at the bus stop with the kiddos, we realized how refreshing walking by the sprinklers can be. . . and the morning gets better, took my 3 month old Alianah a bath and she was sucking on her thumb, great that's a habit hard to break. My two year old is a thumb sucker any suggestions, I've literary tried everything? 

Adored. . .

It has been a long weekend full of happiness, my mother was over for the weekend, my brother made it home safe and sound, spent quality time with the family and friends. It was nice seeing the Perez's again, Zoe is liking me little by little, such a cutie looking like hello kitty. Hope to see you all again next weekend. 


Good night, Sweet dreams

Good morning beautiful day

Early morning start here in the Cadriel home. My two year old woke up in a very good mood being that hes "half of the time" a grouch, decided to give lots of kisses this morning

giving his older brother kisses. Bubbas words were "stop Noah no more kisses" haha

Noah full of love this early morning.

Quiet time. . .

Because its homework time in the Cadriel home. 

Our kindergartner is learning to write her name (Anniah), her ABC's, and to write her numbers (1-10) 

keeping a close eye on the materials so baby brothers wont get a hold of them, crayon is way to hard to get off the wall.

Our first grader is learning to write sentences, a little bit difficult for him and that's why we practice A LOT. . . he hates me but will thank me later=)

Practice makes Perfect

Pretty Pink Rose 

You will need: 1 batch of frosting, a pastry bag fitted with coupler, a large rose tip, and a rose nail

 

I chose this flower because its simple and stunning. You can use any buttercream recipe to make these flowers. Buttercream will harden in the refrigerator but will become soft again at room temperature on the other hand royal icing will harden and can be stored at room temperature indefinitely.  

Good Morning

What a way to start the morning, taking down a double stroller down  a flight of stairs not very fun, look at the bright side i may have lost a lb or two and not only were the kids comfy with their blankys we made it to the bus stop before everyone else.

"look mom we are first"
