Mom is great, making chocolate cake....

Day 57

Boy I have a lot of respect for those ladies who bead intricate designs because this shoe square is taking forever....I knew after I got a cell phone with texting ability that I had chubby thumbs but I feel like I am all thumbs lately sewing on these beads......BUT I carry on because I actually like texture in my works!

Wasn't it me who praised our one car from breaking down recently? Yes, yes it was! Well Friday afternoon hub calls me and says 'Car broke down, stalled but I got it off the interstate' so to the shop it goes and it is Monday now without a word SIGH LE HUGE SIGH.... lucky hub can take the bus to work and we have plenty to do here.

And what would life be like without the best friends in the world who have helped when we really needed rides somewhere!?

Because we are staying home I decided 'let them eat cake' home made cake, from scratch...my poor darlings have NEVER eaten homemade cake and at first G2 was a little leery but we carried on and came out with this.....


......UUUUUUMMMMMM even the frosting is from tscratch....now making a cake from scratch with G2 goes something like this (G1 just licks he frosting bowl, she says she prefers to eat instead of cook lol)---NO NO too much, aaa don't move the measuring cup, it's ok you can sweep it all up later, gently stir GENTLE, no no don't lift the mixer out of the bowl (as I wipe my glasses off) lol lol and MOOOOM I prefer to cook with dad or by myself

it was a blast and a good distraction from having to stay at home!

Tomorrow, homeschooling and working from home--along with all the other 12 million things moms do....
