catch up.

I guess it time to play catch up.  I haven’t written consistently over the past couple day because I have been super busy. 

Wednesday: it was doo’s birthday!! He is getting so big I can’t believe it.  I had a three-hour break in classes so I went home and put the finishing touches on doo’s present, a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine cake.  He can’t have wheat so we had to make a wheat and gluten free cake, which I have never made before. 

Side Note:  I love making cakes.  Well the baking the cakes - not so much, but the decorating is so much fun.  By no means are we professionals.   In fact, we have never taken any classes on cake baking or decorating.  I could write an entire post on cakes so I’ll save that for a rainy day. 

Back to the party, after we got out of classes, Bo and I headed to doo’s favorite restaurant, El Guadalajara, where everyone was meeting.  He was so excited to see us and the place was decorated so nicely.  They had put signs around the restaurant and decorations on the table.  We go there so often because they are so good to us. 

Bo had to leave early so we brought in our surprise so he could see doo’s reaction.  He loved it and everyone was excited to see something new we had made.  The staff had also made him a dessert and sang him Happy Brithday.  It was so sweet and he was really excited!

After dinner we headed home to cut the cake and open presents.  Doo got a new guitar, walkie-talkies, a couple games, and some chips with salsa, his favorite.  I would say overall it was a successful birthday. 

Now dolly’s and I have birthdays next month so I have got to start planning those. 

Thursday:  Oh man, I had to stay up all night writing a paper for my second class on Thursday.  I’m never on top of things.  Well I did finish it about 3:30am so after printing it I went straight up to bed and was out in less than 5 mins.  I didn’t get up for my 9:30am class because I just couldn’t function.  But it’s alright because we can miss up to eight classes.  The good news is that I got everything turned in on time and the rest of the day was pretty easy. 

I got out of class earlier than the roomies so I did some homework and cleaning before I had to head back to school for a meeting.  I have been meeting with the representatives for study abroad, which I hope to do this summer.  I’m so excited about it!!

As many know, the Winter X Games are on this week and in my opinion they are way better than the summer games.  I love everything about the snow and mountains so it is definitely something I would like to attend one day…as a spectator.  This is what we spend some of the afternoon watching and what we will be watching the next couple days. 

We went to my parents’ house to cut the Mystery Machine cake because my fasha is back in town.  After, we watched some AFV.  Here’s the cake.  The holes are from candles.  I wish I had remembered to take a picture before…o well. 

Bo took me back to the treehouse and went to his parents’ to help his brother with math.  I did some more cleaning and homework while I watched The Princess and the Frog and When in Rome.  They ended up both being really cute. 

When the roomies got back we watched some Food Network and went to bed.
