Totally All Over the Place Entry

****

Tutu picture added later. I must have a thing for color these days as I want all those stinkin' tutus for Claire's room!

Baskets of crayons, markers, glitter glue, and more.


To create this: a sweet little person named Henry (I kid you not, Paula!) who went to a volcano and stepped on some lava (but was a Doctor and knew how to fix himself).



So, that was this morning. Picture drawing, story telling, and volcano education.
This afternoon, I was (almost) thinking about making this with Caeden:

Rainbow Cake

Except. The recipe is kinda ... chemically laden (sprite instead of butter, etc.). The lady who made this cake is 25, on a diet, and has no kids. While the cake would be so fun, because Caeden loves to mix colors, the recipe is a bit ... skinny. Is that good for kids? Not that fat-laden desserts are any better. Sigh.

Anyway, take a look (the commentary is funny).

Is there a child out there that wouldn't have a blast with it?

    Your kids are SO cute!
    Aside from that, the recipe is too funny. I'm almost tempted to try it just to see what happens. Def a cake kids would enjoy-oh the colors the colors!

  2. I want the tutus for my room. Or just for me. I wonder if the boys would think I was really cool or just really weird if I wore a bright tutu. Maybe one of each.
    Is just me or is Caeden showing some talent in the doodle department?

    Heya, it's Aleta.

    Use any cake recipe you want! Just follow the box mix directions and add colour if that's unchemically enough for you, and a tub of frosting from the baking aisle. The method will work for any white cake batter.

    I remember when I was a kid my mom wouldn't let us drink diet coke because she said it killed brain cells. =) Not sure where she got that idea, but I definitely understand parents' concerns around that stuff.
