....so sorry that our week of 7 days 4 daddy- celebrating Joey has come to an end! We have so loved loving on him & letting him know how precious he is to us {and missed when he leaves}!
Here is the rest of the fun...

day #5
~cup cakes for my choco-holic~
Joey adores the choc-lettiest chocolate you can find... so we happily obliged! We made Paula Dean style cupcakes with homemade fudge icing- SINFUL I tell you!!! And.. cause we are pulling out all the stops this year, we hand crafted chocolate toppers!!!
*****
super easy recipe for chocolate molding clay...
*****
{1 bag of semi sweet chips & 1/3 cup light corn syrup}
Melt chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until totally melted. Then add in the syrup.
*****
next pour out onto wax paper then put another layer of wax paper on top & roll it out like pie crust. Then let it set for about 3 hours until it's firm.
*****
we tried our hands at a mustache.... but my freehand pattern was pretty sad
and it needed a little bit of pizazz....
*****
so we busted out the cookie cutters- MUCH easier and MUCH prettier!! I can't wait to try this again for Prissy's party with white chocolate {she and I prefer white unlike the boys}!!! But we did use a few of them!
*****
Prissy made these...
*****
...and we made some mustaches of our own...
*****
They were a HUGE hit!!!!

day #6
~surprise!~
Joey has taught at church several times, but I have never gotten to go & hear him..... But this week I loaded the kiddos up {after dinner time- gasp} and headed to church. I had texted him with "good luck wishes" like I usually do & he had NO idea that I would be in the crowd. I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder... and it was him. He had spotted our car on the way in. He was FANTASTIC, just like I imagined he would be. I usually get to hear it the night before, but this time I got to see him in action. I was SO proud of him!!!! He said I made him nervous, but he must have told me "thank you" ten times for coming! I love surprising him & this makes me want to do it MORE often!!!!

day #7
~pie of course~
next to chocolate... my sweet husband adores berry pie!!! So tonight we will be having blueberry pie & salmon cakes {2 of his favs}! Just the perfect ending to his week & warm homecoming. On a side note a very dear older lady at our church asked A-man about his daddy @ VBS this week. She said "I know your daddy and he's really nice", A-man shyly said "yes he is and he plays Legos good too". Then she went on to say "does he tell you about Jesus" {it was one of those moments as a mother where you just hold your breath, close your eyes, and hope for the best}... He said {with NO hesitation} "YES he reads his bible to me every night and Prissy too sometimes... but not Momma, just Prissy and Daddy!"
**never mind that I stayed in bed with him for almost 5 months and that the ONLY reason I don't GET to read the bible during bible-time is because Joey and Prissy WON'T let me..... and the one NOT reading has to answer the questions afterwards!!!!!**
