Happy Earth Day!!

Well I am pretty much Aunt of the Year!!! I pretty much gave myself that award. While Babysitting the kids Kyah reminded me that Earth day was tomorrow...so yesterday I got a little domesticated. I first baked a cake...while taking it out of the oven..OOPS..it was a brownie mix. I was thinking I could just use that instead. NO....apparently they do not come out of the pan that easily. So I had to make another cake..this time I made sure it was a cake. Then I made the home made frosting...who knew I had that in me. Kyah and I ransacked Angela's cupboards and found some green Easter bunny gumdrops and some gummy bears. We also put gummy worms in the middle of the cake...pretty creative if you ask me. It does look a little ghetto...it is my first world cake, really I don't ever try to do cute cakes. It was fun doing it with the kiddos!!! I hope you all have a Great Earth Day!! Kyah and Gage!!

PS....this morning after breakfast Kyah asked if we could start celebrating Earth Day..by eating the cake..I said how about after lunch..don't want to start the sugar high too soon!!
