BAKING A CAKE FOR MOMMY

CONCENTRATING FACE? Brittany's birthday was Monday before this Saturday (03.14.09). We had plans to boil crawfish for her b'day celebration when they came in that weekend. Well...things change! The VHS basketball team was in playoffs and they decided that they would rather go there...who could blame them. Brittany and Natalie came up the night before so that she and I could go that awesome $2.99 sale at Kellys Kids sale. [Who knew it was like a rock concert ticket sale...we should have camped out there...really people did! We got there about 15 minutes after the doors opened. It was madhouse! Oh well....]

Cari stayed home with Natlie while Brittany and I went to the sale. After we got back home, Cari and Brittany went to the Cajun Dome to see the final game (a loss) with plans to stay the night with them in Baton Rouge. We had plans to meet up at our favorite meeting spot, McDonald's in St. Francisville...to exhange girls. We had to rush back to V'town because Cari's cheerleader tryouts started Sunday afternoon.

But Saturday afternoon was a special afternoon with Natalie, Mimi and Poppa. First we took a little nap...Mimi was exhausted from the Kellys Kids drama (not to mention not sleeping well the night before). We baked a cake and then played with play doh. Then Nonna came to pick her for some time with them. Randy and I enjoyed the rest of evening by out to eat a the Duck's Nest. The next morning I picked Natalie up for her Nonna's house and then headed to St. Francisville.

CRACKING THE EGG...

ANOTHER ONE...

IT TAKES 3 EGGS...

She's actually pretty good at cracking eggs!

MIXING THE BATTER WITH THE WHISK...

POSING FOR MIMI...


SHE THINKS SHE HAS TO DO A SILLY EXPRESSION TOO...

NOW THIS IS GENUINE......because she gets to use the electric mixer. She was actually pretty good with it too.
It's the simple things that can be so memorable if you have photographic images to remind you of the simple fun!

[BY THE WAY, WE FORGOT TO TAKE THE CAKE TO BRITTANY. MAYBE THAT'S AN EXCUSE TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE?]

How fun! I haven't attempted letting Jonah use the mixer yet. Maybe I should!!
