Where does the time go?

Seriously? Where does it go?

My little boy turned 5 years old yesterday and I'm heartbroken and sick to my stomach all at the same time over it. I don't want him to get older. I just want it to be today forever.

On top of everything else, I have to finish up last minute shopping for his party. STRESSFUL! When people ask "What should I get him?" I just want to answer, "How about you just host the party and that'll do?!?

I'm going to try doing a lego cake in FONDANT. Not just yucky store bought fondant but homemade fondant. Am I crazy? I need this cake. I need this cake to be perfect. Maybe no one else will care about the cake, but it's becoming a personal mission to make it perfect. Josie's cake last year turned out pretty good but I just used regular old buttercream. Fondant is scary. (Sidenote: I'm so tired I just mistyped "scary" 5 times and each time I retyped it I spelled it the same way)

I should be up cleaning right now. Or at least attempt to brush my sweet child's hair, speaking of hair , Malakai needs a haircut before Saturday. Jeez, my to do list never seems to lessen. Every time I get something accomplished I add two on.

Oh the joys of Mommyhood!

PS: Anyone have any tips for a fondant virgin? Send em my way.....PUH-LEASE!
