Epiphany

This is a trail of pine needles leading from tree to the school room, then up the stairs and to the girls' room all the way to the garbage! When I asked Babycakes what she was doing with the Christmas tree needles, she replied "I was throwin' dem in da garbage."

The stairs needed vacuuming anyway...
Here's our Epiphany cake, not as pretty as Barbara's, but Kings can wear brown crowns, right? (we made pudding frosting, although, this cake, I thought tasted better without frosting) I always figure it doesn't have to be perfect or even pretty necessarily, but just doing something special, like lighting 3 candles for the 3 kings and singing "We Three Kings" will make it memorable. I hope.
The kids wanted to know why it was called a "pound cake". I explained because you gain a pound when you eat it.
The kiddos were excited about that...the mama, not so much.

Movies and Food!

This is one of my all time favorite movies! I found it last week, while Christmas shopping and picked up one for me and one for someone on my list!

Pizza Ranch has become our new favorite restaurant! Salad for mommy and pizza, chicken fries, dessert, you name it, they have everything kiddos like (daddy too). Notice how when you have kids, you tend to eat at places you'd probably not eat at....like Old Country Buffet? Gosh, I really only like the salad there, but the kiddos LOVE that place!
I watched this movie this past weekend. I was disappointed. It was ok. It was good, I guess. I was expecting so much more after hearing so much about it from other bloggers and friends. I did love Meryl Streep as Julia Child, she did such a great job. I did kind of want to go cook something afterward....kind of...
The blogging part was pretty funny and pretty true...
