A First

Last Tuesday, we has a "First" at our house. It was the very "FIRST" time we have ever had an early release day at our school!! So, what did we do to celebrate Sarah and Andrew getting out of school early for the day? We let everyone choose something they wanted to do. Benjamin wanted to play Wii (that wasn't a surprise), Sarah wanted to read out loud from "Bedtime Stories" (we have to read it before we can see it), Andrew wanted to watch The Biggest Loser (the kids and I are totally "into" the show) and Spencer wanted to make a cake. I had seen a fun idea on one of our favorite entertaining blogs "No Fuss Fabulous" and so we tried it! What a fun "First" for us!!


Before we cooked the cake.

We all thought it looked "tie dyed" after baking it.

We thought the rainbow cake turned out super cool!!

PS. I'm SO jealous. Nathan is in Dallas for a few days this week and actually gets to meet the famous Loralee who's amazing blog is No Fuss Fabulous!!!!

Okay, so I just took a store bought cake mix, divided it into 6 bowls and made them the colors of the rainbow. Then, I layered the colors in order of a rainbow. Since it was a store bought cake mix...it was DELICIOUS!!!

First of all, I adore you. I don't eve know you, but I adore you for making me feel like a celebrity. Secondly, your blog is named perfectly. Thirdly, your husband is so fun and so in love with you. I could have talked to him for hours about you and your kids and that is say something considering I was trying to entertain my mother-in-law and her boyfriend, etc. etc. :) We should definitely be blog friends. I love your site so much.
