I did it . . .

I am a horrible mother. I hate to bake. My mom likes to bake. She makes a killer chocolate chip cookie, the world's best sugar cookies, breads, cupcakes, and these yummy turtle brownies. I have never liked to bake. I don't even like to do those place n'bake cookies. I usually burn everything because I get caught up in doing something else.

Today after church I came home and fixed lunch and then we took the kids sledding. It was a blast. We had never done that before. They loved it and I enjoyed hearing them squeal with delight. We didn't stay too long because I also enjoy feeling my toes! It was cold!

I came home and began thinking about how horrible it was that my kids had never been sledding before. I took McCartney in the kitchen and we made cupcakes. Cupcakes people! Call your neighbors, alert the media. Sheri baked! AND I made homemade icing, we even colored it. You may ask, "Why did you not have to go to the store. If you never bake why did you have a cake mix, cupcake liners and confectioners sugar?" Well, I always have good intentions! The cake mix actually expires next month. Do you know how long those things are good for? It must have been in that cabinet for a LONG time. I think the cupcake liners may have been around since I was in high school last month. *giggle*

Anyway, I think my mother status is improving. Don't hold your breath. . .
