ENVY

I don't get it.

I envy how some of you find the time, energy, motivation, and subject matter to blog almost every day?

I feel like...... unless I'm going to put something up on my blog that is super interesting and has great pictures to go along with it....... there's no point. I need to do more rambling though. I think it would help my mind relax and give me somewhere to write out my frustrations.

CREATION DAY

This past Sunday, I created two things I am extremely proud of. The first happened BEFORE church. Jeff was at a meeting and I got out Blokus so the boys and I could play with the pieces. Griffin and I built a fairly nice looking house, but it wasn't exciting enough for Griffin. He wanted me to make a turtle. So I did. It wasn't a NINJA turtle though, so he asked me to try again. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find pieces to work and we would have a HUGE breakdown fit. But, because of my Mom's wonderful creativity, passed onto me -- I did it.

Pretty sweet, huh.

Then AFTER church, Jeff wanted me to make a cake. And not just any cake, something we hadn't had before. So I went online and searched for a recipe that contained ingredients I already had (it being the Sabbath and all), and found one called a "Dump Cake". -- Sounds appetizing doesn't it? -- It was named that because you basically just dump all the ingredients in a bowl and stir. I DID have to borrow some chocolate chips from our friends, but I had everything else. And to my surprise it turned out really good. Personally, I think it could have cooked another 5-10 minutes and been better, but Jeff liked it and that was my main goal.

The glaze was NOT in the recipe, but how can you have a bundt cake without a nice glaze on top? The picture wouldn't have been half as pretty without it.
