This is what the cake was SUPPOSED to look like:
This is how it turned out: LOL!
Luckily, it was NOT my 6 year old (who is now a first grader!) who got sick but it was ME who got a sinus infection over the weekend and am still fighting it. That was NOT good timing since the first day of school is a BIG day full of new routines and schedules.
Somehow we got through it all (thanks to my DH taking off work) and I of course, was not too ill to take photos of her first day. She looks so grown up to me. She was SO ready to go though. I even had to follow her into her classroom to get a kiss (I know, it's pathetic but I obviously can't do that when she's in 7th grade so I'm gonna do it while I can!) I thought I would cry but I didn't. Mostly because she was so happy to be there that it made me happy more than sad.
I also promised my kiddos that I would make the beloved pencil cake (see recipe in previous post) which they were looking forward to all day. I didn't really feel like baking it since I just wanted to sleep all day but I really wanted to do something special so I just sucked it up and did it. It is made from a brownie mix and since my son is allergic to eggs I had to add applesauce. It made the cake a little TOO moist so this is my version of the pencil cake. Oh it makes me laugh so hard! I wish I could blame it on the fact that I was sick but my husband knows the truth. I don't do cakes. One time I ATTEMPTED a Nemo fish cake and my husband asked me if the kids had decorated it. No, hon, I did it.
It's the thought that counts, right?
