1 - If you want a good birthday cake, buy one. I have yet to find a cake and icing recipe I like. Any suggestions?
2 - Cinnamon and sugar toast was the breakfast of choice this week!
3 - My son believes the 'council meeting' at church next Wednesday will involve members of the (star wars) Jedi council.
4 - Naps! Naps are wonderful - those nice little one hour ones this week were just what I needed to get through the rest of the day. And if the kids are sleeping at the same time - it's all the better!
5 - My baby girl (I say baby knowing she is almost 4 1/2) has joined us at the school table and is loving it. I didn't want to admit that she was ready for some sit down learning - call it selfishness for not wanting to plan school for two children - but she is loving it and I think this one is going to move quickly through phonics. Having the older 2 at the table has quietly invited the littlest one to sit at the table. His skills? His cat-like reflexes allow him to take a pencil from his unknowing siblings and be across the house with it before they realize it is gone. I guess a few sprints in the morning are good for my non-cat-like reflexes.

Hmmm...the cake dilemma. Gigi's Caramel Cake? Pioneer Woman's Sheet cake? Those are the two cakes currently on my mind. I think PW's has nuts, but you could leave them out?
I have yet to find a cake I didn't like. Except for fruitcake. Ick. If I can recall a good b-day cake recipe, I'll send it your way.
Naps. Gloriously wonderful. Some days I don't think I could get by without one.
I like this review of your week! It's a great idea! :)
cinnamon sugar and toast....mmmm, we haven't had that for a while. sounds like next weeks choice around here:0)
i am not a cake eater, period. BUT there is one exception for me. lemon cake mix, add a lemon pudding mix, and four eggs. then poke holes on top when it's done and make a powdered sugar mixed with lemon concentrate glaze.
very lemony. love it.
Naps? Naps? If only kids in this house would nap past the age of 2. *sigh It's been 4 days since D took one. He does play in his crib for 1-2 hour though.
The cake...Eric makes the bday cakes in this house. He has a recipe for frosting from the Wilton cake cookbook that we like. Not sure which it is.
LOL!!! Oh, can I relate to the pencil thief - we have one of those around here too. But, he would usually giggle and give himself away. :)
Sending a couple of recipes your way...
i make that same lemon cake heidi was talking about. it's a favorite around here.
i bet colin loves bugging his older siblings =)
This was so cute, Leigh Ann! I remember when my now six (almost 7..yikes!) yr old joined in at the school table, too. And this has been our first year doing "serious" work with two- as in 1st and 4th grade!
Enjoy those naptimes while you can...I remember them well, but they're a thing of the past...except when I do it! :)
I use a cake mix for my cakes that I sell. LOL
My frosting though... that is GOOD. I can send you the recipe.
