Wirr-Wirr-Wirr

No sooner than I started this blog did the ravages of morning-sickness (really, all-day-sickness) set in. I was left feeling queasy and tired virtually all day. And for some reason, the wirr-wirr-wirr of the computer was especially nauseating. I think it caused my brain to feel motion-sick.

Fortunately, I am feeling much better and the computer no longer repulses me.

Morning sickness aside, however, I discovered that I am absolutely not an every-day-blogger. I just don't have that much to say. I suspect my melencholy nature is to blame. Regardless, this extended silence will hopefully be uncommon. And we will see how this little blog develops.

Rainbow Layer Cake

We saw this Rainbow Checkerboard Cake video several months ago and Calvin was intrigued.  He ended up adding it to our Summer Fun Ideas List and this week we made it happen.  This was not quite a Pinterest Fail, but if you look at the video you will see how far from the original creation our cake actually was.    One cake mix was divided into pink and yellow.  One cake mix we made into blue and green.     Lots of boys.  Lots of help.  Lots of hand washing.    We cut the center out of each one and rearranged the colors.    And stacked them all together.  If we had waited until the cakes were completely cool, or even par-froze the layers they would have stacked more easily without cracking. I was running low on frosting and patience and endurace, so the end product left a lot to be desired. But, remember the boys up there?  They didn't care!  They oohed-and...
