Pinwheels and Party Invitations

I am so surprised I never post anymore. It makes me kind of sad...  but I guess teaching and planning and life are overtaking the hours in the day. I am happy this year, and I have a balance right now. I wish my office and home were cleaner but I have been working out, eating better, trying to get some rest, and trying to stay planned for school and life stuff.....

Speaking of planning....  I did invtations to Kaya's upcoming little birthday party today. I am SO HAPPY to have that set up and off my list of things to figure out. I also ordered the Rainbow Aprons (we are having a rainbow cookie/cupcake party) and the favor boxes (for them to take home their cupcakes and cookies they decorate). Figured out the plan for the frosting, and Neil is on top of gathering music for the party.  So it is looking good. Now, if only I had not run out of postage stamps... 

I also made Pinwheels last night for dinner. It is an OLD receipe that we LOVED when my Mom made them for us when we were little. They took her a while to make, and she did not make them often. Matt thinks it has been about 20 years since we had them....  but, I have wanted to try to figure it out, and I did. They were fanstic. I made a mistake of putting in the ground turkey when it was still hot (which created a bit of a mess) but I know now to let it cool next time...  and they still turned out great. I ran some over to Busia to share the memory with her. It just felt nice to figure out something for our family that got lost with my Mom.  The girls wanted in on the PHOTO action when I got out the camera to show my siblings that I DID IT!

Hope anyone reading this has had a super year so far! Happy Valentine's Month!
