Lessons in Motherhood

We had such a fun weekend up in the mountains with some friends last weekend.  Lots of eating, drinking, resting, reading, talking, eating, drinking (did I say that already?)
Anyway, on Monday, I was feeling very guilty because I kept a very big secret from you.  There was another Luke cake incident!  Originally, I had planned [...]

He made it. Well, technically, he didn’t make it because at 3:05 he was still working on it, but no kids had shown up yet. So, I’m considering giving it to him. Although, if he were on Food Network Challenge, he would be disqualified. Also, Kerry would not have liked his [...]

Ok. I know that the title is a mix with Star Trek, but we’re in the final hours here so I need a pass on that one. It’s 30 minutes until party time and the cake is not done. It’s close, but not done. Fingers crossed, Everyone!

It’s 9:34pm. He has 8…count them 8…cakes baked. Wait. Are there really 8? Yes. 4 chocolate (2 different types of chocolate, of course) and 4 vanilla. I have tasted every cake, and my teeth now feel like they are about to fall right out of my head. I [...]

I know the plan. Wait. Let me rephrase. I know the form that the final cake is supposed to take. I will not tell you, but I’ll let you guess. Is it:
a) Queen Amidala – made with one of the 50 Queen Amidala dolls that my husband has been hoarding [...]

I got home from work today to find this…

What is that??? It’s two completed cakes AND cupcakes. Don’t worry. I touched the top, and they actually sprung back up. So, they are real live cakes.
Now, my first instinct was that he used a cake mix to make these cakes, but [...]

Just received this text from my husband on this being the day that he took off from work to bake the cake.

Note the time.
Oh, and the answer is burgers in case the cake somehow ends up tasting like salmon.

Hailey’s birthday party is Sunday, and you know what that means. My husband has once again turned into the DIY Cake Boss. I believe that my Dad tried to cut him off this time by providing cupcake wrappers and decorations matching this year’s Star Wars party theme, as if that would work. [...]

Luke refuses to get on Facebook. I’ve been on it for years, but he just continues to refuse the pull of the Facebook. Actually, it’s not just that he refuses; there’s a smugness about his refusal. I have one other friend who refuses to sign up, but I’ll cut her some slack [...]

We are now the proud owners of 2…count them 2…new iPad2’s. Of course, we had to buy 2 just because when you’re standing in line and they say you CAN buy 2, early adopters hear that as you MUST buy 2. And so now we have 2, but don’t worry. We’re not [...]
