Just a bunch of random thoughts from a young, vibrant, Jesus loving, obstacle tackling, homeschooling, mother of 3.
It doesn't get any better than this...

So, today I celebrated my 6th year of being a mama. It was sweet. The day started by my doing my traditional French Toast Breakfast, but this time I used cinnamon raisin bread to make it. I always add cinnamon and vanilla to my "batter". Here's what it looked like.



It was oh, so yummy! Then I had to run to actually get his present, which was his very first bike! N got one on his 3rd birthday two weeks ago in red. M's was blue. Their favorite colors, of course. With....matching helmets!!

While I was out I needed to get stuff to make him a cake. I was just going to get the regular box mix, but since I was with Betty Crocker (aka my sister) she inspired me to get stuff to make a cake from scratch. Mind you, I am NOT the greatest at make a box cake, let alone a cake from scratch. I wasn't worried! My sis had a super mixer she had gotten for Christmas and we were dying to use it!

Me with the milk! Sis with the bowl!



So, I (with the help of my sister, Betty Crocker) made a cake. From scratch. It was AMAZING! They actually taste different when you make them from scratch. I never knew.



So, yeah...the frosting (also made from scratch) was quite runny. My sis completely did that one all on her own. We ended up with a frosting pool around the entire cake. It was yummy though. Can anyone tell me what we did wrong???

He was super excited about his bike, and matching helmet! "IT'S BLUE! That's my favorite!", like I didn't know! (I'm still debating whether or not to put pictures of my children on here...so right now, no picture of him seeing his bike.)

Okay. At this moment, N and C are in bed. Crying, but in bed. M is on the couch watching Ratttaatooouuuiieee (yeah, I couldn't spell it so I went all out). C is 19 months old for those who are wondering. She is crying...and has been for a good 15 minutes. Most times she doesn't cry. She cries for a few minutes then kinda whines then cries again, if she does at all, . That's what she's been doing but it's lasted longer than normal. Should I go in there? If I do it will just upset her when I leave her in there after comforting her and the process will start over. I guess I just answered my question. I've never had babies who have a hard time going to sleep in their own rooms (with the door shut, but I only started doing the door shut thing with C).

Okay. Now she's asleep. I'm gonna go play with my video making software thingy. I hope everyone's doing great! Church tomorrow! See ya there! :o)

    Cakes from scratch are soooo worth the time. It looks yummy even with the runny frosting. If you tell me what was done to the frosting I could help you out with what went wrong, or right ;)
    Girls are so much more sensitive about going to bed, I have the same issues with my little one, she's 15 months old. I like that you celebrated your 6 years as a mom on your sons birthday, great way to look at it. I need to get ready for church too. Talk to you later.
