Shhh! Secret Post!

Don't tell anybody, but I'm writing on my blog. On Gram's laptop in her kitchen. We're out here because Mike's sister Amy and her family came out to play with us and we needed a break also. But I'm secretly posting on my blog real quick.

Today I'm going to make these cupcakes:

Holy Monsters, I'm so excited! I already made some chocolate cupcakes (Katie's cousin, Spencer, says those are his favorite) and next we're gonna make some mummies.

Aren't you excited too?


ALSO: I just have discovered that this is my 200th BLOG POST!!! WOOOHOOOOO! To celebrate, I will now post one of the scariest pictures you could ever see in your entire life!

Are you ready?


I bet you weren't ready. I sure wasn't. But there it is.

Happy 200th blog post everybody!

It's raining, it's pouring, the Katie is snoring!

Well, actually, we all are snoring. I've heard I've got a rather impressive rumble myself. The point is that all this unnecessary and rather inconsiderate moisture has caused our family to be all full of  yucky congestion. Including the Katie. I mean, seriously.

Speaking of my crazy baby, I have a funny story. So, last night I had one of the creepiest dreams ever. It had to do with a hangman and cannibals and . . . um, let's stop talking about that.

Anyhow, Katie woke me up from that dream really early this morning, and I was mega mega mega creeped out. So I brought her in bed with me to feed her back to sleep, and I shook Mike awake and was like, "Mike, I had a creepy dream!" And of course, my sweet husband said, "mmm, grumble grumble, don't be scared," and proceeded to sleep some more.

Needless to say, that wasn't particularly comforting. So, I huddled in a ball, trembling in terror at the thought of creepy cannibals coming to eat me. Also, I couldn't put Katie back in her bed for fear that said cannibals would come take my sweet baby.

But there's a problem with that. Remember how I said that Katie likes my bed much better than hers? Well, I've never told you how she sleeps. See, when I put Katie in her crib, she sleeps pretty soundly and only turns over a couple of times. Unfortunately, when she gets in my bed, her true self comes out . . . Kung Fu Katie! (bwa bwa bwaaaaaaa!)

You guys remember Kung Fu Katie, don't you? From way back before Katie was even born? (Whoa, that was a long time ago.) Well, she's still a rather intimidating force. Especially with her ability to get all snuggly long enough for you to fall asleep, then suddenly simultaneously kick you in the esophagus and squish your head with her 20-pound diaper bum, all while doing her best imitation of a banshee. Rinse and repeat.

So . . . I didn't get very much sleep last night. My own fault? Yes. A rather entertaining story (now that it's daylight)? Also yes.
