A Day With The Kids

Today, I went over to Maren's elementary school to help her with her class and their activity day. It was super fun and I even got a little sun! The kids for their activities all got to play "Minute to Win It" games. My job was to help with the 'Flip the Lid' game, where you have a paper cup on the edge of a table and you have to flip it up and onto a bottle of water. It was HILARIOUS watching the kids attempt that. Only three of the 40 kids who did it actually got it on the bottle! So kudos to you kids.. Kudos.
But I realized today that I am pretty awesome. Maren's students thought I was cool and a good majority of them even wanted me to sign their yearbook, even though they had only known me for a good two hours. I guess it just makes it official that I am awesome.
But anyways, the kids were stinkin funny! I just wanted to share of few of the things that they told me... and all this happened within the three hours I was at their school today:

"Are you Mrs. Williams' sister? You two look exactly alike!"

"Are you sure you are younger than Mrs. Williams? I think you look older than her."

"Have you met our class pet? The hamster? He likes to poo on the slide."

"Your drawings aren't bad. You rock."

**Scared look on faces** -"Oh!! Oh, I thought you were Mrs. Williams."

"Are you Mrs. Williams' sister? She is looking for you. You better hurry, she might start yelling."

"You are nice. You should be a teacher." (HAH)

"You and Mrs. Williams are just so pretty."


These were the lovely things I heard today that just sure made it great!

The Evolution of Cakes

Recently, I started a cake decorating class, and now I am bound and determined to make great cakes!! I have recently also discovered that I like to be artistic.. though I don't think I manage well yet! But here are some pictures of my first decorating techniques!

Here are some cookies, most of which I have no idea what they are..

This was a cake for a coworker.

This was also a cake for a coworker, although it was supposed to be an "a", it turned out to look like a goldfish.

Now this next cake is my most recent cake that I made for my class, and I don't care what you all think, but I just love it!! I have this obsession with trees right now, and I just love the way it turned out in the end! It took everything I had to cut it to actually eat it!

My Boss Rob, Also Known as Adam.

At my work today, I was making some phone calls for my boss Rob. I got through most of them when I approached the name Adam. I dialed his number, it rang a few times, and someone answered the phone and said:


"Hey this is Rob."

Me- "Hi is this Adam?" (In my defense, I didn't understand what he said...)

"No, this is Rob."

Me- "Oh.. well hi Rob!" (Voice sounding familiar, but still unsure)

"Would you like me to find Adam?" (convinced its not him anymore)

Me- "That would be great, thanks."

"I will go look around for him."


My boss Rob walks into the room, talking on his cell phone, looking for Adam.

Turns out, I called my boss instead and Rob likes to play jokes on people. Today, it was perfect cause I set it up completely for him. Either way, I about busted my gut laughing today.
