Today’s post…
is over at Dot Moms!
Then you can come back here and share your own interesting moments with a two-year-old. 
Her party went well, by the way. My heart melted into a little pile of butter when my husband came home from the store with a bouquet of chrysanthemums for his little girl. 
What a great guy!
The cake tasted good, but the appearance left a little to be desired. Note to self–Mississippi Mud Cakes don’t work well in layers that are not of the same size. 
Second note: Hot fudge frosting will make the marshmallows bleed out the sides until the cake looks like a volcanic eruption. It wasn’t pretty, but we ate it anyway. 
My daughter’s favorite present was…wait for it…a cleaning set. Yes, the brainwashing has begun. I bought her a toy broom, mop, dustpan, and feather duster, complete with a bucket of play cleaning supplies. She was in heaven.
Last, the daily total was 7.5 pages. Not bad, all things considered. Today I decided to bite the bullet and finish all line edits for the book I owe two agents. I started on page 203. 87 pages down, 68 left to go. Mostly it’s going very well. There have been a few moments of what drugs was I ON when I wrote this drivel?? But the goal is to stick this puppy in the mail TODAY.
After that, I’ll go paint the shed. 
So exciting!

Yay for birthday cake! And even if it didn’t look perfect, I’m sure it tasted YUMMY!
You did an awesome job on the writing front, Michelle. Good for you!:hello2:

I’m all for birthday cake as well - usually the worse they look, the yummier they are.
When my puppies were two (Hey, it’s the closest I can get!) they were finally outgrowing chewing. So it was, at last, time to think about replacing the leg on the comfy chair that had shrunk from a nice, 2 inch leg into one just slightly thicker than six toothpicks lashed together. At that point, naked in the ice cream aisle sounded like less of an adventure!
Michelle Says:
Melissa–thanks! I mailed the book. Whew!
Beth–Wow, I never knew they would chew that much. How scary!:confused2:

Ah, the drug question. I have those moments myself.
My oldest child received one of those cleaning sets. She loved it. She’s almost thirteen, and I just have to say…not so much now.

Yay on the writing and the edits!:crazyjumping:
I bought the three-year old’s cake this year because last years was a lopsided disasterous attempt with blue icing running EVERYWHERE!:confused2:
Peggy Says:
Glad you’re little one had a great birthday. And I say it’s never too early to get them hooked on house cleaning!
Kelly Says:
GOod luck with the line edits! And your hubby sounds like a real sweetie.

Congrats on mailing that sucker! Glad the cake was delicious…marshmallows, fudge…how could it be anything but?
(Well, it could be if I attempted it but that’s beside the point.)
