Your going to want THIS!





It's Saturday. I get it...you wake up, probably more towards the afternoon...(unless you have kids!) and you just want to chill

But, you have stuff to do...clean up the kitchen...dishes...laundry...vacuum the floors...the list goes on. 
Been there, done that!  
 

YOU get finished and are literally exhausted.. So much for a relaxing weekend, especially if you work full time M-F... and your house now smells like the pine of the forest...thanks to the mopping that HAD to happen. 



a) leave, you have errands to run anywhoo.
b) light a candle and let it burn.
c) CALL YOUR PINK ZEBRA LADY and get 
   SPRINKLED! (duh!)

Friday night with the KIDS... "Would you rather?"

Friday, January 29th, 2016

 
We made it to another FRIDAY...yea!  My oldest (Ms. Six) was cheering this morning when she awoke (in which she informed me that she did not sleep a wink last night) and boy was she ready to get this day over with! 



The school day came and went...everyone met back at home after four (4) and dinner was on the table by five (5). 





This prompted table talk, in which we started with a game of "Would you rather" first grade style!



Thank goodness for the internet...because this Mama pulled up some impromptu questions, (seriously, thank goodness!) and we were full of chit chat through our entire meal! (no TV needed!)





See the questions here:

 :  

I would like to give a SHOUT OUT to 
because that is where I found this handy...dandy sheet, which was awesome with my four (4) and six (6) year olds! 



It engaged great conversation, giggles, thoughts and belly laughs all around our table! 
 
I encourage you to give this a try with your kiddos and share your comments on the conversations they start!





 
 
Mom:         Would you rather take a bath in ice cubes (brrr) or tomato soup?

Ms. Six:      Hands down tomato soup and I would want a straw so I could eat too! (um, gross!)

Ms. Four:    I want ice cubes because I think it would be hot outside and that would cool me off. (hmmm...it is only 33 degrees out...but she must mean during the summer?)

Today I laughed...because I forgot to yesterday....

Have you ever just had one of those days where it seems like everything that can go wrong...does?

Yeah, well I am NO different!  







I had a late Saturday night...eh, with my Kids...in which I said, I will have PLENTY of time tomorrow to bake an Eclair Cake for my Dad's birthday.


Sure.

Of course.



Then, I wake up only to find that the jello pudding I placed on the counter in anticipation for my bake-off is in fact NOT Vanilla...but Cheesecake?

Really.

Why do I have cheesecake jello pudding anywhoo? 


This lead to an impromptu trip to the grocery store a mile jog down the road.

Sure, no biggie....except when you factor in the two kids who are rowdy, rambunctious and not into the whole "lets run to the grocery store real quick" bribe that this Mama had going for her.




Sure, right...sounds like a fantastic Sunday, Funday with Mom at the Grocery Store....








OK, no biggie. We get shoes on...scarfs...hats...coats..mittens and load into our semi-warm car for our jog up the road. The wind was blowing gusts that seriously made me shiver, wishing I could just stay inside, bundled up under my black and white leopard electric blanket (of course, turned up HIGH!).



From Google.com
Our trip included a few other items on top of our pudding...including two extra boxes of cake mix...OJ...and bread!

  • Sure, it was quick.
  • Sure, it was boring.

Sure, MY kids act up the entire time we are on our adventure...even smashing the BREAD because they were ringing up the items in the cart, which required Ms. Six to lean over the side...mind you, we were literally in the store twenty minutes TOPS!

#eek

#thisismylife




Check out went smooth. The walk to the car, although COLD, went smooth. (Thankfully Ms. Four still enjoys riding in the front of the cart so it requires just a juggle of one loose child!)

  • We loaded. 
  • We drove home (I may or may not have had a stern talk with these girls who required extra micromanaging inside of the store!) parked and unloaded (still in the cold!). 

Sure, that should be the END of the excitement for one day, right.



Ugh...wrong!


Cake Bake Off begins shortly after our trip. 




2 boxes of white cake mix.

Well, I knew that it was all going to go arye shortly after the rise because the rise lifted my cake a good inch over the lip of my pan. #houstonwehaveaproblem

OK. 
  • I will bake. 
  • I will smoosh.  
  • I will poke and fill with my vanilla pudding mix. 
  • I will refrigerate. 
  • I will have plenty of room to top with chocolate frosting. 

#iwaswrong

Me and my brilliant plans include  moving this giant cake to a larger pan #hindsight - in which the cake decided to split in two right in the damn middle.

#abortmission

#distasterahead



Yea...
Cake 1, Kel 0. 

It was a LOSS! (wish my cake had insurance)

By now, we have one (1) hour until we need (NEED) to leave for the PARTY. (I swear I did not wait to the last minute)

Panic was rising but I decided to take a deep breath, start new. (hence those extra cake boxes I picked up!) 

Twenty quick minutes later (and only 1 cake box) the cake was done. (and not huge!)

  • I poked, filled, refrigerated.  It was t-minus ten minutes, so it was Chocolate Frosting time.
  •  I frosted. 
  • I piped a terrible HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD on top- it looked sad

Ms. Six's remark summed it up, "I bet it tastes better than it looks Mom." #eek

So, despite the looks of the cake, it was awesome tasting...and I brought a trifle (Dump Cake) along from my broken monster cake that was equally delicious!


Yesterday I was sad. 

 I had failed. 

 


 
Today, I am laughing.

  • I survived. 
  • We all survived. 




Sure my cake got some laughs.

Sure there were some comments made about the looks of the whole mess.

But it was an adventure! 
(Ain't it always!)
