My Day: a table, a cake, Tate and missing Florida

We have a table!!! We were able to pick up our new counter top for our island we built in our kitchen yesterday. Sean even attached it last night! The island will double as our kitchen table. THEN, we went and picked up our barstools that we ordered today! So we FINALLY have a table and chairs to sit at! We still need to stain the island, but at this point I am elated!!!! And it is huge and gives me tons of extra counter space! I love love love it! Woohoo!

I really wanted to have it complete by today or tomorrow because I am making a cake for Chloe DeCook's 1st birthday party that is on Saturday. It is going to be pretty decent sized and I'll be doing a lot of work with fondant on it which will require a lot of counter space. I am super excited about the cake and hope it turns out as fun as I think it will! I will post pictures of the finished product this weekend sometime.

So aside from Chloe's birthday and spending time with great friends at that, there's not a lot going on for us this weekend. It IS Mother's Day and so I'm sure we'll end up doing something on Sunday. We may head to Muscatine for a bit.

I still have a suitcase full of clothes I need to put away and some house cleaning and picking up to do, but just haven't felt motivated since I got home from Florida...so it sits for now. I'll work on it tomorrow I'm sure. :)

For Cinco de Mayo tonight, we ate Mexican Chicken before Sean had to head out to work. My parents and Chris, Brenda and the boys went out to Mi Pueblo (which I LOVE) in Florida for a night of Cinco de Mayo celebrating. Bummer that we couldn't be there with them! :( I have been soaking up some serious Tate time and loving every minute of it, but would be lying if I said I didn't miss the time I got to spend in Florida with my Mom. We had so many laughs...tons of laughs and lots of good conversation. It was great. And of course I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the time I got to spend with Chris, Brenda Boone and Bode. Oh how I miss them! I am longing for our next trip down there in a few months...this time with my lover boys! :)

Tate went to bed at 6pm (see post below) and about 10pm I heard him crying, "mommy, where are you?!" When I went upstairs, he was no where in his room to be found. I found him standing by my side of the bed pathetically weeping while saying quietly, "mommy, you don't go bye bye. Where are you, mommy?" Can you say heartbroken?!!! Ugh. I don't think I'll be leaving him again for ANY length of time anytime soon! As soon as he heard me come into the room and I let him know I was there, he came to me and fell limp into my arms and soaked my shoulder with tears. He was pretty out of it because he was so tired, but he managed to say, "Don't leave me. Lay with me." So of course, I did! Only I put him in our bed on Sean's side (he's working tonight) and he quickly went back to sleep. I am kind of excited to snuggle up to my little man tonight in bed. So I think that's where I will head now. :)

Goodnight!
