Monkey See, Monkey Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

It's midnight. My house is a disaster, yesterday's dishing in the sink and laundry piled the the ceiling. I spent the weekend working on the house (construction-ish stuff, not normal cleaning!) and planting flowers in the yard. We went to The Pottery in Commerce GA yesterday, and walked through the outdoor gardens which the boys compared to Disney World. Addison said in wonderment, "This place has more hiding spots than Home Depot!" We didn't buy anything, except a pail I'm using as a photo prop, but it is such a cool place to look around. I mean, where else can you find four sizes of armour suits, a life sized nude male concrete statue and a 5ft tall metal chicken?

Wednesday is the boys' last day of preschool, and as Addison's room mom, that means the end of the year pizza party and goody buckets, remembering to give money for the jumpy-thing, turning in school evaluations, going by the store first thing in the morning so I will have items for the goody buckets for Asa's room, then there's our going and sitting in on a preview of group violin lessons tomorrow night, and on and on. Oh yeah, let's top it off this the boys having their birthday cupcakes tomorrow! Wow. I have a list on the fridge of all the things to get done, but I think it needs to be broken down to minute-by-minute instructions and color coded with various highlighters.

That leaves me here, at midnight, with a neglected house and a living room floor littered with icing, tips, plates of cookie crumbs, bags of various cookies, and little candy eye-balls. The result? Monkey cupcakes. Oh yeah, I'm good. I may be living in filth at the moment, but man can I turn a cupcake into a primate face. Like a messy Martha Stewart... without the horns...


Here's a little twin-mommy-arithmetic... Asa and Addison are in separate classes with birthdays on the same day... 14x2=28 cupcakes.


Let's face it. The boys couldn't care less if I clean up this morning's breakfast that is still on the counter. But, they'll love their birthday cupcakes!
