I've been thinking about what to do for Drew for Valentine's day for a while now. When Carly and Abbie were young (before they started school) I used to dress them up and take them into Drew's office to take him a Valentine's surprise. For some reason or another I haven't done it for a few years so I figured it was time to get my rear in gear. My mom gave me the idea to dress Savannah up as a Hershey Kiss this year. (I know... it kinda turned out to be the theme for today) So this morning around 8:30 I spent a good solid 20 minutes sewing this little beauty of a costume together. It didn't have to be high quality...just enough to last for 15 minutes or so. Savannah was not all that happy to wear it so there was a little bribery with cookies involved, but it all turned out in the end. Drew got to show off his little cutie to his coworkers and Savannah finally got in the Valentine's Day action.
This past weekend I was asked to make a Gru cake topper for a friend. She was going to make the cake and the minions, but just needed help with Gru. So we decided we would make him standing on a little moon and go from there. I of course recruited Drew's help on this one. We spent our Friday night sculpting him and after starting over a couple of times, I think he turned out great. Can I just say that sculpting with gumpaste is next to impossible? It dries so darn fast that it borders ridiculous. I think I'm going to have to see if I can find modeling chocolate for sale somewhere around here.
