Some funnies from our house....

We have had a lot going on around our house lately.  My newly turned 15 yo daughter just got her driving permit, a fact that makes her mother feel very old.  I still vividly remember the day I went to get my permit and it does not seem all that long ago.  Certainly not so long that I could be old enough to have a child that can drive!  The streets of our town will never be the same again.  All I can say, is wait till my two boys start driving, then we are really in trouble.  


After, my daughter, Paige's birthday dinner we were on our way home from the restaurant and I used the opportunity to have a teachable moment with my youngest son.  He is 12 years old and not lacking for self confidence.  I told him that God calls us to be selfless not selfish.  David said "Mom I'm not selfish or selfless, I am kind of in the middle.  I am self centered!"  Where does he come up with the things he says. 


We came home and ate the birthday cake that I had ordered from a local lady that makes the most unbelievable cakes.  I let my daughter pick out which one she liked.  Her cake was pound cake with an almond buttercream icing.  The cake was so moist and the frosting was to die for.  I will definitely be ordering another cake from her soon.  I will post the link to her website so you can take a look at this talented lady's creations.  I am definitely ordering the sweetgrass basket cake for my mom's upcoming 70th birthday.
