So here's the story:
This was Jordan's birthday cake:
This is Jordan with frosting on his nose:
And this is what made that so freaking adorable: We had done the candles and Jordan wanted to play with the Spongebob figure from the cake, so Grandma Sharon took it off and Jordan licked the frosting of its legs. Then they took off the protective plastic shell so that Spongebob's back wasn't covered in frosting and gave it to Jordan to lick off the frosting. And he just went at it with vigor. He didn''t notice when he got a huge gob of yellow frosting on the end of his nose. I was frantically trying to get my camera on and take a picture, Jenn was telling Jordan to let me take a picture when his nose must have itched. He reached his left hand up to wipe his nose and Jenn deftly used the "Mommy's Got Both Your Hands" one handed restraint. Jordan then managed to wipe his nose on his shoulder before I could take the picture! This all essentially happened in a matter of seconds. When we told Jordan I wanted a picture of him with the frosting on his nose he said, "Oh!" Then he preceded to get another gob of yellow frosting with his finger and then put it on the tip of his nose, and let me take the above picture. It was just too freaking cute.
I meant to post all this last weekend but I have been rather anxious (which is soooo not good for my psoriasis, I am dealing with a fun little flair up) and having a hard time focusing unless I am really into something. This is because Jenn is due any day. Her children thus far have all been slightly early by about a couple weeks, and this little girl's due date is less than twelve days away. Today would be optimal so I don't have to miss work (because I will miss work for this, I am not missing the birth of Jenn's last child for anything), but since when do babies come at the most opportune time? LOL. Jenn informed me last week that she will be getting her tubes tied after this one. I politely said "phew"... I have an "emergency kit" ready to go regardless of when her water breaks. It consists of a couple waters, a Dr Pepper, an orange flavored energy drink, and some snacks. So be it 3pm or 3am, when she calls I am gone. Whatever I am doing will be left behind and I will be in the truck and headed to either my dad's or the midwife's.
I think (and hope) today will be our last hot day this year. Yesterday it was about 93, and they are forecasting close to ninety again for today. This summer seemed hot but short... Well, it was really hot for two weeks at the end of July and then mostly comfortably warm... I just can't believe it is fall almost... Kids are in school, leaves are beginning to turn, so on and so forth. Before I can blink the holidays will be here. I will have to start on the Christmas cards soon, I have an AMAZING idea for them that I have been holding onto since last Christmas, it might be difficult to get all the elements I need though... We'll see, I will find a way to make it work... (I know, sheesh, I am so stubborn and persistent... LOL!)
I think I am gonna go work on my next masterpiece... It's gonna be time consuming but totally therapeutic and worth it.
