the cake

Today i took Corrina for the shorest walk we have ever been on. It isn't really too cold outside, or at least not half as cold as it will be come January. She was nicely bundled up and ready to face the chill and sunshine. I really really needed to get out and move my legs around. I have kept us inside all week, besides a few errands, because neither of us has felt very well. Corrina really did not like the part were i had to bundle her up, put her mittens on, and tuck blankets around her. She wiggled and fussed the whole 20 minutes we were out. Oh poor dear. Well, we still made it around the block at least on our first winter walk! We'll try again tomorrow!

I have been in a baking mood, but not an eating-all-the-baking mood. So, dave and I, more I than dave, have been contemplating looking for a second hand apartment size deep freeze. I think it would be convenient to have for when i go back to work/school so we can still enjoy baked goods, that i make now and freeze. They are good in so many ways, and today, after making little tiny zuchinni and banana muffins, i am focused on the sweeter side!

Here is the Care bear cake dave and i made for Bre! It was very tasty and so pretty to look at. It brought back many memories for all of us. Which care bear did you have?
I just tried to take a photo of Corrina playing to attach to this post, but let me tell you what happened. I got down on the floor, got her attention, pointed the camera towards her, and before i could activate the shutter she was coming towards me very determined to have the camera in her hands. When we got close enough and was not given the camera all her smiles turned into whines. I showed her the pictures that i took of her and tried to let her touch the camera a little, but folks, this was not enough. She needed to be holding and flailing the precious silver box about. I think she already knew that this was not going to happen and gave me a big pout session, then off to nap time she went! Oh my little darling. No cute photo today.
