Happy Father's Day

I think the man of the hour had a great day.  He looks pretty relaxed here, right?

Pepper and her fella decided to fix a beautiful feast for us. They made roasted salmon (which I forgot to photograph), cauliflower "Cous Cous"

Luscious sweet potatoes

Here is the whole plate:

And they topped it off with  truly the most amazing cake I have ever eaten.  And I have eaten a little cake in my lifetime.

Now that is saying something. Ever. EVER.

It was amazing. It was delectable. It was memorable. I will never run out of adjectives! They spent hours in the kitchen and it was so beautiful.

(Here they are with our favorite photo bomber.)

I think I am really getting used to having an adult for a child. Oh, my goodness, it was sublime. Can I get a witness? Oh wait, I've got one -- Grandma was here. Here she is playing paper dolls with Tinker.

Happy Father's Day everyone!

Waiting is Such Sweet Sorrow

The Blitz is a huge cake lover.  He takes after Sunshine who loves all cake, but is particularly fond of a cake mix called "Funfetti."  It is pure and true junk food and a rare treat at our house.

I bought said cake mix and matching frosting for Sunshine because she is not a "scratch" cook.  It sat on the counter for three days and tortured the baby.  Finally the day came where we decided to make it, and the youngest two watched anxiously as I mixed the batter.  I allowed them each a tiny taste  (raw eggs you know) and popped it into the oven.  Thus began the 28 minute fit of a century.  When I got out the camera,The Blitz postponed his tantrum to talk to me, but spent the best part of the time lying on the floor in front of the oven moaning and trying to eat the box.  But I will let you hear it from him:

Finally, he got the cake.  I didn't even wait for Sunshine to frost it!
