... Cake!!!

So, we made the cake!
It turned out Great!!
Here's some pictures:

 There was a little accident with my first egg...

 Mixing and mixing and mixing,

mixing is fun!

 Ccaaaakkee!!

 Finally... EATING!

 We made green frosting because this is

 a practice cake for Evan's birthday, and green

is his favorite color. His contribution: I wicked! (licked) 

Evan LOVES eating cake!

I like it too, but am less

excited and more content

like "I have cake so all is well."

Later today...

So later today, we will bake a cake for what's cooking wensday.
for now, look at this!!

 Yesterday On Monday, we went to the waterpark after dinner.

Because Evan was a good cooperator, we got to go

to Dairy Queen to get ice cream. As you can see,

this had a hilarious result for Evan.

I also remembered that I forgot to mention

the name of my inator in my previous post.

It is the "asleepinator".

I invented it because I have trouble getting to sleep,

but then stay asleep pretty well.

Bye for now. I'll do a post later today about the cake.

Bye,Ben. 

Inator day

Yesterday, we made "Inators".

 Wiring, wiring, wiring with the pipe cleaners

 Evan and his inator, the doofenschmirtzinator

it was previously called the peskettinator.

who konows if he changed it back or not????

 The control panel...

 ...and the launch dish.

 I also made Evan a "robot hat"

And here's his paper perry the platypus

Ultimate Cheerios recipe

Since nothing crafty or otherwise interesting happened today,
I was going to not do a post, however, right before I got out the laptop
I never actually use on my lap, my Mom offered me some special Cheeriios.
They are so, so, so delicious. Definetly not as nutritious as normal Cheerios, but at least 70
times tastier.

Here's the recipe:

2 T butter
3 C cheerios

Melt butter in microwave in medium bowl,
stir in cheerios, microwave for 30 seconds,
sprinkle with salt, stir again.

I hope everyone has a great time making and eating these
Bye, Ben

Road Trip: part 3, Mom Style

So, Ben can't imagine why you all would be interested in seeing more than a few pictures of him & his brother, but I know you love it, so I will include a few more here!  We had a terrific time on our road trip.  I was worried about multiple 12 hour days of driving, but for the most part, we all did pretty well & took turns having our "moments" so it worked out ok.  I even let Paul go "off the map" for one stretch in IL... not following the directions I have carefully printed out from Google is WAY out of my comfort zone!  And now, some pictures:

We were there too - at Kennedy Space Center

I love the look on Ben's face in this one.  ♥

Looking through their "wookers"

Main Engine Ignition - woohoo!!!

An awesome photo taken by my stepmom - I was incapable of taking a good photo at this point,
as I was blubbering like an idiot!  It really was an overwhelming experience.

Somehow we managed to be there during a 2-day lego deal?? 
I should not be surprised by this, but I still am.

It was a loooong day.

Where the kids spent most of the rest of our vacation. 

 Except when they were building legos, playing trains, terrorizing poor Mighty
or hanging out in Snugabug & Grandpa's bed.

Road trip: part 2

This post is about the lego set I got while in florida.

 

This is an underwater exploration vehicle.

 This is it's second mode, the

robot mode.



This is mode 3, the non-land submarine mode.

(note:this is not the vehicle that came in the set.

those pics are on a different camera, although my

mom knows how to get them so I will have

a series of other post also about legos

including them.)



Road trip: complete

Yesterday, we got back from our road trip.
We took lots of pics while on the trip, so here are some.

 My mom, dad, grandpa, and Evan

went to a state park to see alligators there.

 However me and my grandma Deb stayed home.

I always call her snugabug because

she was the first person to tell me the saying

"snug as a bug in a rug"

 I'm (as always)reading the map

at the kennedy space center.

 We're on the moon !!!

We also saw STS-135 at the kennedy space center.

My mom took this photo of the shuttle.

Bye, Ben
