If my kids have the whole week off for winter break, I will celebrate by spending the whole first morning on the computer.
If I spend all morning on the computer (and the
kids are all home ), my housework will double.
If I have double my usual housework, I will convince myself I would rather do it myself then spend twice the time convincing the kids they "want" to do it.
If I am trying to keep the kids out from under my feet why I clean, I will let them watch Star Wars all afternoon.
If I let them watch Star Wars all afternoon, they will pull out their play light sabers and quickly spiral from pretending to actually trying to kill each other.
If they try to kill each other while fighting over who will be Darth Vader, I will remember I never posted a picture of Peter's Vader birthday cake.
If I take the time to post a picture of Peter's cake, I will go to bed late.
If I go to bed late, I will want to sleep in late.
And chance are, if I want to sleep in late, I will be glad my kids have the week off school.

Okay, mouse, so where's my cookie?
ReplyDeleteHa! That was great (the pictures didn't work for me though) I still want to see the cake.
ReplyDeleteClaudia- LOL, come and get it whenever you want!
ReplyDeleteBrenda- I fixed it. The jump from darth vader to peter's cake should make sense now.
I was two "Ifs" from the bottom before I realized, "Hey, this sounds like those mouse and pig books." I know, I'm slow.
ReplyDeleteSo why do your kids have the week off school? I thought winter break happens at Christmas time. And isn't it kind of late to enjoy winter? (Or do you guys still have snow?) We're seeing the mud patches forming here already. Do the kids also get a spring break?
Really? My kids are the ones who quickly spiral from pretend playing with light sabers to really trying to harm each other amidst yelling and crying? Good to know.
ReplyDeleteI'm likin' the way you think. I may have to hire you to make our next birthday cake.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great cake, and I love the reference to the mouse books. So is this spring break your kids have or mid winter break? Schools in CT crack me up. Lucky teachers.
ReplyDeleteOk I am old. What are the mouse books? I don't think I have ever heard of them. Nice cake though.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I came back. The first time the pictures didn't work for me and I thought, oh I'll come back later, then of course forgot. The cake looks great....and yes the post did leave me strangely craving cookies, muffins, and pancakes.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you not in the "know" - CT schools throw in an extra week off in February. That way, with all the "snow" days, the kids can stay in school until almost July. And yes, we still have snow. Just not on snow days.
ReplyDeletesweet cake! Love the picture of Pete!
ReplyDeleteYour cakes are so fantastic! How did you get to be so talented? Did you take a class?
