Oh who am I kidding?
It's joyful chaos around here. Love it!
Right now the kids are playing "Ace of Cakes" and making dinosaur and princess cakes. Heeeee. Our whole family has a little bit of an obsession for Duff and his whole cake crew. If a "Ace" marathon happens on Food Network, we all pile up on the futon down stairs and watch and giggle. The things you can do with gum paste!
In true fashion, we're going to attempt to make a gingerbread barn tomorrow. I feel sorry for my kitchen counter already. The last gingerbread thing we made was a train at Grandma's house last year. She was wiping blue and green piping frosting from underneath the tables and counters for a few days. Beware the unwitting soul with light colored pants that slid underneath the table at dinner! I still laugh thinking about it!
For his birthday activity, Isaiah really wanted to go to the local light show near us. Two something miles of christmas light displays in all sorts of fantastic shapes- dinosaurs, snow men makers, even a volcano with fire at the top! The kids were in wide eyed wonder the whole time. I personally think it was more fun to watch their faces than the lights. David's eyes where about to pop out of his head- it was like he was trying to look everywhere at once. The hot funnel cake at the end wasn't too shabby either.
Ever the good mama, I have to go digging for hats and gloves and boots for all the snow that is being predicted for this weekend. I've only been reminded of this wonderful storm warning fourteen bajillion times in the last hour by certain boys who are beyond excited at this possibility.
It's beginning to look (and sound, and taste) a lot like Christmas!
