When Kids Plan Mom’s Party
This one is surely self explanatory…
My two youngest called my mother and planned me a surprise birthday party this year. All I had to do was have the kitchen ready to be surprised. 
Anyway, how closely did you check out the cake my stepdad picked up for me? Yeah, I’m ___ years old and it’s my very first Barbie cake! Woo hoo!
Can you guess by the candles how old I am?

Mice in the Fridge
My mother-in-law made the delicious mice you saw in yesterday’s photo. They are as much fun to eat as they are to stage in the fridge to play a prank on someone!
Want to know how to make them? Sure ya do!
Ingredients for Brown Mice:
Hershey’s Kisses
Almond slices
chocolate chips (for melting)
maraschino cherries or any cherries with stems)
Ingredients for Striped White Mice:
Hershey’s White Chocolate Hugs
Almond slices
white chocolate chips (for melting)
maraschino cherries or any cherries with stems)
Melt the chocolate. Dip the cherries into the melted chocolate. Quickly attach a Hershey’s Kiss (or Hug) on to form the head and body of the mouse before the chocolate has a chance to harden. Continuing to work quickly, place two almond slices for the ears. Use decorator’s icing to decorate the eyes and nose… or skip the icing if you prefer blind mice!
Don’t forget to stage a little Mouse Party in your fridge for some fun!

Tshirt Bag Runway Model
My kids never fail to amaze me or scare the total crap out of me. It’s rarely somewhere in the middle… just one extreme to the next.
One night Biscuit came home with Donald from his Hobby Store while I was still working away at my desk. You see the folding door shut behind him right? Yep, that’s where personal ends and business begins unless you are male and under 50, then it’s just a door that’s an obstacle to bugging Mom. I didn’t even look up, just casually mentioned that the door was closed for a reason and I’d be out in a minute so we could eat dinner.
To that, Biscuit replied, “I closed the door behind me again Mom - because I needed to show you my new business idea!”
Because Biscuit is seriously determined to be “stinkin’ rich” before he’s ten, he had my undivided attention now. The last idea he had was to sell MY tea recipe on the internet, so this one had to be good, right?
It was a bit hard to keep a straight face, but I managed as he explained that “the stupid people that make plastic bags for daddy’s customers” labeled them incorrectly.
Apparently, the box says: Tshirt Bags
My little genius discovered if you cut the bottoms out, it could really be a Tshirt bag… how soon do you think he’ll be stinkin’ rich on that idea? My guess is he’d better get a modeling agent instead after I snapped the photos and noticed what a natural poser the child is. LOL
