Super Fun Saturday!

What have I been up to, you ask? Well, I've been up to my elbows in cakes. Here are my latest creations.

Our super fun Saturday also included Joseph's first skiing lesson right in our own backyard. Notice Andy's lovely pajama bottoms. It's so great having such a huge yard with no neighbors close enough to see exactly what we are wearing. I've been able to run outside in the craziest outfits without a bit of worry of being seen by a neighbor. On the other hand, I saw a pretty crazy get-up on a gal at Walmart yesturday, so maybe this is the style here. Oh well, I'll just go with it. It makes getting dressed a lot faster. Yeah West Virginia!

Joseph did great and even tried his first ski jump (which he insisted doing after having watched the Olympics the night before). He did get air (about an inch) and did fall down (with no tears). Watch for Joseph in the 2026 Olympic Winter Games!

A Thousand Words in Black and White

My friend Lis took this picture of the boys. Isn't it beautiful? She's taking a photography class and is taking pictures of children in black and white for a big school project. I'm going to have this printed and hung in the boys room and in the family room and in my room and in the kitchen...I just love it! It's such a sweet moment when they're coloring together. I love how a picture can capture a moment of peace, when there's no fighting or whining-just a quiet moment together as brothers.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! and snow and snow and snow...

Wow! We have a LOT of snow! How about you?

Here's a riddle. What do you get when you use your tractor to plow the Kennedy's very long driveway?

You get a cake that looks like YOU-plowing the Kennedy's driveway!

Meet Nick, our very kind neighbor who (lucky for us) enjoys using his tractor to help out the rest of us that don't have our own fun "snow toys" yet. I think this looks more like a zamboni than a tractor, but who's going to complain-it was free! Enjoy the cake Nick!

And, in keeping with the spirit of the day-a Super Bowl Cake. I made this on Thursday, in anticipation for the client not being able to pick it up any time after that due to the 10 feet of snow outside (Yes, I know that I am exagerating, but 2 1/2 ft might as well be 10 when you're shoveling it off your sidewalk!)

Go Colts! (Hey, don't get mad at me if you don't like them, I root for any team that has a family of fans that love them enough to pay me $50 for a cake!)

And finally, if you find yourself bored or going stir-crazy with cabin fever after being cooped up in your house for the last couple of days, you have to visit a new favorite website of mine. http://www.cakewrecks.com/ Someone clued me into it and it has given me hours of laughs. Check it out!
