Some cakes just don't make the cut!

I enjoyed making this cake, but it can't make the cake blog! Transportation was a little rough on it and the front cracked. I think it was the weight of the "diaper bag." I am still learning a lot about cakes and transporting the heavy ones is a lesson I need to take real soon! I think it turned out pretty well. There are of course some things I would do differently. That happens with any cake that I make for the first time. I need to keep a book with instructions on how I made it and suggestions to make them better the next time.

My Son the Photographer!!

I normally don't just post pictures of me, but when my son comes up to me and says, "Mommy, Mommy...can I please take your picture?" Well, how do you say no to such a sweet request. I let him and these are what he came up with. I think he did a pretty good job for a five year old! I think his Aunt Emily should give him some lessons. We could have a pro on our hands! =o)

Atlanta Fun!!!

We started the day off by going to Trader Joe's. What never heard of it? Just ask my mother-in-law all about it!! She loves this grocery store. Well, I had to see what all the fuss was about. It was a really cute store, very trendy, but I have to say, it was just a store! Cynthia is at a loss for words because I didn't go bonkers over it. But to each his own, right? Don't get me started on any store that has an amazing organizing section! =o)

We then went to the Science Museum and looked around for a while. The kids had fun and I don't have any pictures because I did a very bad thing. I forgot my camera in the car!!! How? I don't know! I seem to do that a lot though!

Well, on the way to the Braves game, we had an interesting time. Our car started over heating. We really thought that we were going to be stranded in Atlanta. Luckily, my handy man husband got it fixed well enough for us to keep on going!

We parked the car and took a leisurely stroll to the stadium. Hannah and Ian were fascinated by the big city! They even wanted to walk through the cross walk tunnel. They thought it was so neat that cars were driving on the road right above us! This picture is of Bret telling the kids that the crack in the top was going to cause the road to cave in! They are so use to him telling tall tales that they just look to me for verification or nullification! I was laughing and shaking my head no so they knew they were safe.

The kids played in the play area for a good little while before they finally got hungry. We grabbed a bite to eat and watched all the fun right before the game. Hannah and Ian even participated a little. They played limbo.

They each got a T-shirt!
And they really wanted a "hammer" as Ian called it.
So they spent their hard earned money a tomahawk.

After the game, we drove home. The kids slept and we enjoyed the peace and quiet!
All in all, it was a good day!
