Cael's Socks

So yesterday after Layne picked Cael up from pre-school they went home and while Layne was fixing lunch, Cael decided to put his socks on his football lamp in his bedroom and turn it on. Layne could smell something burning but couldn't figure out what it was - he finally figured it out! As you can tell they definitely had a fire lesson today! I'm just glad Layne was awake, he's been working graveyards and at least once a week Cael just stays home with him while he sleeps so we don't have to find babysitters. But I'm thinking my little child is a little too mischievous to be by himself!!

Saturday Projects

I love "Hunting Season" - and I think I'm probably the greatest wife ever because I rarely complain about Layne hunting all of the time (I try not to complain, but sometimes I just can't help it.) But when "Hunting Season" is over...it's project time at our house. So on Saturday Layne did some projects for me that I've been wanting to do.
I had seen this sign in a magazine and it was really small & they wanted $40 for it, and I showed it to Layne and I said - I can make that. So we went to the pasture and got some barn wood and I made this sign...I have one more I'm going to make but I ran out of time this weekend.

Cael wanted to pose by the picture - and yes, he's always in his underwear at our house..he's totally got a mind of his own!

Then when Layne & I went away for our Anniversary last summer we went to a place that had these Window Covers & I loved them. So we got some barn wood and Layne made these for all of my windows in our family room & kitchen... they look so good! I love my husband so much! It took up our whole Saturday but we finished them...well I need to put some rustic iron stars on there or something but for now they look pretty good.
And Cael had to pose again by our windows.

Cake Boss

So we love the TV show "Cake Boss" - and every time we watch it Layne says, "I could totally make a cake." Well if you know Layne at all he loves projects and he will figure out how to make something no matter what, and if you know me - you know I am not the best baker ok I don't bake at all very often...so Layne was on his own with this grand idea :) So we went and bought some cake stuff and he made his first cake...Red Velvet with butter-cream frosting - it was so good.

Then Cael told his dad he wanted to make his birthday cake - so we decided we needed to practice a little more before we make Cael's birthday cake so we made a cake yesterday for the Super Bowl...I did actually help on this one :) If you watch Cake Boss at all Buddy has a couple of guys in the bakery that do all of his running around and B*!ch work for him...that was me :) Just Kidding but here is our cake for our Super Bowl party last night. I seriously love my husband...he's so handy to have around!
