You've Got Mail(boxes)!
I found these cute little mailboxes in the Target Dollar Spot and they were just screaming for a makeover. Here are the the finished products.
I love ladybugs, so of course the red mailbox was destined to became a ladybug. When Madelynne saw it she wanted one in pink with white buttons. So much fun!

Something Sweet for Your Sweetie
Devil's Food Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache
1 package Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 package chocolate instant pudding mix(4 serving size)
1/2 cup water
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and then flour pan. Blend all ingredients together in a large bowl; beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Chocolate Ganache
2/3 cup heavy cream
6 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped
Heat cream in saucepan over low heat until hot but not boiling; remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until melted. Let stand about 5 minutes. Ganache is ready to use when it mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. It will become firm the longer it cools. Pour ganache carefully onto top of cake; spread with large spatula so it flows evenly over top and down to cover side of cake.

Efficiency or Laziness?
When I got the jelly out to make Madelynne a sandwich I found this. The spoon was already in the jar. So, is this efficiency or laziness? What is your take on the matter?

Where in the Blog World Have We Been?
As many of you have noticed we have been absent from the blog world of late. The following pictures say it all. We have been sick!
The pharmacy had made a killing off of us in the last few weeks. I am convinced we could start our own pharmacy!
The "bug" started with Madelynne. She had a fever of 104 degrees, a runny nose and a cough that sounded more like a bark. Jackson caught the "bug" from her and it settled in while we were out of town. By the time we came home he was wheezing really bad. I gave him an albuterol nebulizer treatment and it didn't even touch the wheezing. We took him into the doctor and he had another nebulizer treatment with the same results. They tried a different medicine and that finally worked. As it turned out both Madelynne and Jackson had ear infections in their right ears. We ended up having to take Jackson to the pediatric emergency room to get him stabilized (we were glad he didn't have to be admitted)and were so happy we got to bring him home. By the time we got things stabilized with Jackson I had caught the gunk and ended up with double ear infections, a sinus infection, and bronchitis. And to round out the experience Matt got the "bug" too. Luckily, he had the mildest case of us all, but he was still really sick. A week after we had all returned to health, Madelynne fell out of the shopping cart and got a concussion. So, she too got to have a trip to the emergency room! After a CAT scan that came back clear and a dose of Zofran to stop the vomitting she was able to come home. We are glad she is OK! The end to this sickness saga is that we are all healthy now and glad to be returning to the world of blogging!

Jackson hated having the nebulizer treatments because he had to wear this mask. Doesn't he look pathetic?

A Season of Firsts
We have had a lot of "firsts" around our house lately. Most of them have occurred with Jackson.
Jackson has learned how to hold his own bottle. This is a picture of the first time he did it!
Jackson putting himself to sleep in his own bed.
Jackson's first baby food.
Madelynne's first primary activity was a pancake breakfast and pajama party. She was nervous to be there by herself, so I ended up staying with her. I can't believe she is old enough to be a Sunbeam!!!
Madelynne's first dance class.
Mommy made this Chocolate Bundt Cake with Ganache for the first time for her friend Kristen's birthday.
