Technically, Oreo celebrated its 100th birthday on March 6th, but we celebrated on March 8th, which marked two months of no treats/no desserts for me. I figured eating Oreos was a great way to break my dessert fast. After all, they're pretty much my favorite cookie.
To help others get in the cookie spirit, we got 12 of these cookie 6-packs and made a note to pass along to our neighbors and friends.
The kids actually glued and cut out the notes and then picked who we'd give them to.
A while ago I bought an Oreo-looking cake pan on clearance at Macy's, figuring it'd come in handy sometime (again, since Oreos are a family favorite) and I finally the perfect day had come! Yes, I even bought candles. :)
Of course we had to sing, too! Sydney couldn't blow out the candles because she was still chewing on a carrot from dinner. If I had made a carrot cake, I may have let her give it a blow.
Here are some more random pictures - mostly from my iPhone - from over the last little while.
We have been having FHE consistently for 11 weeks thanks to this woman who posts an FHE lesson on her blog every week. One week we made a family history chain as seen in the picture above.
The kids have been taking gymnastics and having a great time!
My sister, Angie, and my niece, Lanie, visited my parents' last month. Lanie had this block in her mouth and it made her look like she had a snout. She's such a cutie.
I made chocolate pudding from scratch! Who knew it was so easy???
One day at preschool, Sydney free-handed this picture of Mickey Mouse. I was actually really impressed she even remembered the red pants with black buttons.
One day I set up the kids to color pictures under the table. I think I saw the idea on Pinterest (probably).
Brian got a new bike for his birthday/Christmas. He took it out for a test ride a few Saturdays ago, but decided to show it off to the kids before he left. Sydney was doing her best to keep up!
One day I decided to straighten Sydney's hair for church. It's really quite long!
One sunny day we went to the park and Wes used sand to build "Kingdom Rush" castles. (It's from an iPad game he and Brian are really into right now.)
