My tummy feels funny. I feel like Winnie the Pooh after licking out the whole entire honey pot. Sleepy, full, round, and silly-sweet.
Caleb and Sethie helped me make our yummy chocolate cake, in honor of the day for it.
We used the Chocolate Sheet Cake recipe from the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook (thank you for giving it to me, Christie!)……and it did not disappoint us.
After they helped, my little boys licked out the big marigold fiesta mixing bowl.
An hour or so later, the cake was baked and frosted. Our mouths were watering, but before we cut into our ooey gooey chocolate cake, we took a picture or two.
Here I am, with Grace on one side, Seth behind me, David next to me on the other side, and Caleb in front.
Then we cut it and before we knew what was happening half of it was GONE.
Yum.

Mine started dividing up the beater and spatula before the ingredients are even in the bowl yet =).

Hello Shanda, Oh what a great cake and what a great way to celebrate! I talked to my husband today and told him it was chocolate cake. He is a choco-holic x’s 100 so he thought it was great I love all the pictures – your children are so beautiful and all that popcorn all over, too funny! You are a fun Mama to let the kiddos have that kind of crazy fun I got two more books in the mail today from your list of books. They are so relaxing to read before I doze off at night. Thank you for your sweet comments and prayers~ Cinnamon
