♫ He Fought the Pool and the Pool Won ♫

This is what happens when a super-strong little man bangs his mouth into the side of the pool (while wrestling with his brother.)And this is the same super-strong little fella, as we're headed for an emergency dental appointment.But thankfully, his sweet smile was made beautiful again!And after nearly 16 hours with NO food, as to allow for anesthesia if needed, he batted his blue eyes, flashed those pearly whites, and requested lunch at Red Robin. It seemed that a meal with endless french fries could solve all his problems! THE END


(until the next round of boy trauma that causes mama drama!)

Inspiring ME

I haven't touched my scrapbooks in over TWO years! But I think I've got the itch to scrap again! Looking at these pictures of my boys has brought back a million memories. And watching them laugh and tell stories while looking through the books inspires me to make many, many more pages for them! But I think my favorite part of pulling out the scrapbooks would have to be the times I've caught Superman looking through them! God, I love that sentimental man!

RAINBOW CAKE ~ Take ONE

Wyatt snuck off with Paw Paw, so Cameron and I jumped at the chance to make the infamous RAINBOW cake while we had the house all to ourselves! If you haven't seen one before, head over to Meg's blog, WHATEVER. She is the brainchild behind this blog-lifted project!Cameron is a great helper in the kitchen!He never complains!Well, except maybe when I've snapped a dozen pictures in all of 30 seconds!I must confess something to y'all... I have a slight obsession with cake plates! I currently own 4! But to make matters worse, I can think of at least another 5 specific ones that I want to own!And secretly, part of my excitement in baking a cake today was that it meant I'd get to use my new one! The one that Superman bought for me on Saturday, after dragging me to another autograph session. (But that is a story for another post.)Ahhhh... isn't she pretty? I think I love her! Oh, but back to our project. Aren't those some happy colors?!?! The layers were slipping and slidding all over the place, so I decided not to put icing on the sides. And it sat just this beautifully for about 10 minutes (I think). Then Superman walked into the kitchen and said, "Honey, half your cake fell off onto the counter!"

But I didn't believe him!

I should have!

I had to see it for myself!

Thank goodness this was just my practice cake! I'll be making another one Saturday for my dad's birthday. And next time, I think I'll follow Meg's advice about cutting the top of each layer to make it smooth!

Go check out her directions. I don't think you'd want to follow mine!

Happenings

Here's what we've been up to while I've been gone...
Another trip to meet Ric Flair:Superman turned 40:Wyatt turned 9 (and requested a cake just like his daddy's- yellow cake with chocolate icing):He also had a birthday lunch at Red Robin with Cameron and me. He picked Red Robin for the endless french fries:And last but not least, this cute little cousin came to visit. He donned an apron and helped me bake birthday cupcakes for his mama! It made me realize how much I miss having little hands helping in the kitchen!
