• I finished the helicopter cake.  The reason I didn't post a full picture of the cake on my Wordless Wednesday is because I wasn't finished with it yet.  I didn't want to post a halfway done cake. haha  So here is the finished product:

  

  It didn't take as long to do as I thought it would.  The tricky part was getting it carved into the right shape.  I never really paid much attention to the shape of a helicopter before.

  Anyway, the kids are out of school for the holidays now.  We had their parties at school on Friday.  Since Jamie is off work, he was able to go with me to their parties.  That's a good thing, because it's very hard for me to try and run back and forth between their two classrooms, trying to do two parties at once.  So he served pizza to Kaleb's class while I did Lexie's.  Here are some photos of the festivities....

  Leaving school for two whole weeks!:

  

  I also did a lot of baking:

  

  

  Saturday was our anniversary.  We dumped the kids with my mom and dad for the day.  haha  Then we went to eat at Hibachi:

  

  I got the Pad Thai:

  

  And Jamie got Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken, or something like that:

  

  We also had sushi, but I forgot to take a picture of it before we ate it.  I guess I was too hungry.  haha  It was all very tasty. 

  Then Jamie took me to the mall.  He hates to do that, but since it was our anniversary, he agreed to go and not complain (much).  I got a new purse.  We got a few things at the Hickory Farms store.  Jamie got some ice cream.  I helped him eat it.  We browsed through the bookstore.  I saw a young couple looking at a raunchy book.  I started to tell them to put it up, but I thought they might not appreciate my input. lol  We also went to Sam's (for more icing), Walmart (it's a rule...if you're within a mile of Walmart, you must go in), and Kroger (for angel food cake).  Then we decided that my parents might appreciate it if we actually came back and retrieved the children.  So it was fun while it lasted. 

  Now I'm off to bake a bunch of cookies for Donna and a cake for Bart.
