Classical Music

I have been listening to music on Pandora.com today. I have a classical piano station that I really really enjoy. The music has brought peace to my soul, calm to my heart and happiness. Not that I wasn't feeling happy before, but I think I need this kind of therapy every day. I live in chaos between getting kids up, to school, fed, clean up, get me dressed, diapers changed, etc and that is only the first hour of my day! Sound familiar to anyone? Yeah, well I am happy, I have embraced the chaos and truly find joy in my life. I am grateful for that, but sometimes I need to de-compress. This is a sure way to do it. I have started playing classical 89 in my car while driving with kids. Magically, really magically they calm down. I love it. Move over prozac!

IS THAT POOP?

My kids think that poop jokes are the funniest thing around right? Well, anyway after I finished this cake... which was no small feat, Kate immediately asks, "Is that poop?" Nice, I thought! Well I think it turned out looking a little better than that, but it did remind me of a certain birthday cake that some fairies made for a princess on her 16th birthday... remember what happened when they didn't use their wands?

So it wasn't as perfect as the picture on the recipe, but it did taste every bit as good as I would have hoped! It was fun to make and even more fun to share.

Luckily I shared enough that I had only a little bit left in the morning. When jordan woke up he was so excited to eat it for breakfast, I finished what he left after school. Yum and fun! Thank you for everyone who came, and I missed all of you who couldn't come. I'll find something else to entice you a little more!
