It's not easy being E

Eden is 3 1/2 and wants to do anything and everything she can. She also only wants who she wants. Very rarely she wants me. It is usually Daddy or Grandma. Which is difficult be Grandma does not live at our house and we do not see her everyday. But even harder is Daddy has been very busy this month with finishing up his first semester at Pima and do shadow work at a Pharmacy. So we haven't seen much of him This week Eden had a hard day. I thought I would share a couple of her tragic experiences. Because they made us laugh.
A couple days a days ago. DJ was home during the day. Although he was working in his office he was in the house. I was having a very very slow day due to the pain in my finger. (dumb) SO I asked DJ to take Lucas to the school bus. Lucas was running slow too and ended up missing the bus. So DJ had to take him, when he did he did not take Eden with him. Even though she really wanted to go. (she is a mess and had no shoes on + very tired) So Eden freaks out and cries and throws a fit for about 15 minutes. I was finally able;e to get her to sit with me and read stories...whew.
So eventually DJ came back. Eden gradually went to him, on her own terms. DJ latter told me what she had to say to him

"Daddy I am sorry"
"why are you sorry?"
"Earlier when I had a fit, I kicked an ornament."

-yeah we laughed

Then Lucas had to be picked up dun dun duunnnn.

DJ left quickly and did not notice the little girl who ran behind him with her flip flops on saying "Daddy!!"

He left and she sadly walked toward me
"This is the worst day!"
"This is the worst day for Daddy."

I laughed and told him when got back.

Sad day for Daddies girl.

knife safty 101

For knife safty I would like to share some steps I learned this week
1. When at the wal-mart deli and you ask for a quarter pound of munster to be cut at a size 2 make sure they cut it in a size 2 and not in 2 pieces before leaving the store.
2. On discovery of 2 pices od cheese, make sure you are not tried, hungry and frustrated. I sujest you call in back up before proceeding.
3. If you choose to proceed by yourself. Try a cheese grater or cut the cheese in small slices away from you.

4. Never! Hold the cheese in your hand and try to cut the cheese toward your finger with a bread knife. Really dumb idea!

5. If you do choose to go ahead with step 5. Call Grandma and grandpa, wash the hold thumb inside a papertowel and lay on floor (during the going into shock part) Go to urgent care and get 7 awesome stiches. BTW the numbing process is the worse part! The best part is not being allowed to wash dishes for 10 days.

Anyway this is all very good advice for the season I hope you all appriciate it.

fondant cake

OK I know I was supposed to post this like 2 weeks ago but here it is finally. I am proud of my lumpy fondant. But the most important part is... This cake was delicious! It was a devils food chocolate cake with chocolate ganach filling. and a peppermint icing that took me 20 minutes to make, it came out like a shiny marshmallow cream. It was good!!
