Hannah Made Me a C-A-K-E

When we were driving home, I asked Heather and Matt if H-a-n-n-a-h, if she was g-o-o-d, could make me a c-a-k-e before she goes to b-e-d. Hannah said, "'Before bed, I can make a cake!"

Okay, so who taught this 3 year old to read???

So, Mason was given a bowl, measuring cups, and a wooden spoon, and Hannah picked out the cake and got started. She decided chocolate cake and chocolate icing and sprinkles would be the cake of choice!

It is hard to look at Mammie and make a cake at the same time!

She wanted to get out the eggs all by herself, and I let her.

Mason is tasting his cake in the background!

The insides of this egg landed on the counter, but the shell...

made it into the bowl!

The water was added... click on the picture to see how much actually made it into the bowl!





Then the oil.

She was really concentrating; the last time she used the mixer, she only lasted a few seconds. This time she was able to do it all herself!

Still working hard to keep the mixer level!

You and I both know that the chef licks the beaters. Pooh pooh to the raw egg rules!


Well, Hannah absolutely did not want to lick the beaters, since it usually ends up on your nose when you do!

After the cake cooled, Hannah put the sprinkles on it!

"Is that enough, Mammie?"

A very Happy Birthday to me!

Guess What... (updated)

Now that I am ... well, you know, I should start using larger font so I can see this thing!

Just kidding!

Matt and Heather took me out to HOG HEAVEN for my birthday! That was really nice! Dad met us there after I ordered, since he was working. He came in carrying these flowers! Wow! Aren't they beautiful? Canyoubelievehecarriedthemthroughabikerbar!!! Amazing!



The food was great and everyone seemed to enjoy it; even Hannah and Mason liked their fish fingers.


Earlier today, my dear friend Sherrie met me for lunch at the Sahara Grill. We had kabobs. She gave me a very appreciated Knitter's Companion, a tea bag dispenser

and this Paris mug! I am using it now in my office, see the theme? Thank you very much, Sherrie! Very sweet of you!

When real life sets back in, this is what my first month of 50 is going to look like. I have put off and put off until I can put off no longer!

Happy Birthday to me!
