I finally did it!! I finished my big cake! Well, it's not that "big" but it was a big deal for me. End-of-the-course project. I decided to do a fall cake. Since the baby still doesn't like sweets...it looked like Brian's guys at work would get the cake. But upon Brian's suggestion (they might be afraid to eat it, it looks so nice) I'll be taking to our Visiting Teaching Conference and dinner before the general RS broadcast. I'm so glad it turned out well. I added some pumpkin vines just for fun and I think it added a great touch!
And of course, we have to include Adam's latest and greatest. "So, Adam, what do you do when Mom is trying to clean in the kitchen and not paying close attention to you?"
"Well, yesterday I thought it would be great to climb up into the rocking chair, lean it back, tip it backwards so that it leans up against the window, then climb up onto the top and play with the blinds. Mommy kind of screamed when she came in, but then she left. I didn't think she minded. Then she had the camera. For proof. So Daddy could see what I can do now. Silly Mommy!"
Adam will not stay out of the fireplace. So I tried covering it with foam board, covered in fabric to try and be festive. This is what it looked like. Well, Adam had it down and was playing in the fireplace within 5 minutes. What am I going to do with him?? I really love him...but the oven and the fireplace (and now the pulling out of the vents) is driving me nuts! Yesterday I caught him shoving his overalls down the vent pipe after he had pulled out the vent. I bet our parents are thinking, "it's payback time!! They'll grow out of it..." That's the only thing that helps me deal with how fast he's growing...hopefully he'll grow out of "the naughties..."
