*3 Chili Peppers, Cheer, & Choco-Lava Cake

One is sleeping in the woods,
One is on the couch,
One is staying at his friend's,
Kids growing up--OUCH!

A FOUNTAIN was flowing yesterday! Well, okay, it wasn't a fire hydrant and it wasn't really a fountain,but it was definitely water works!
Our eldest child called home! BOO HOO! Actually, she is doing great! ...should be sleeping in a tent 'camping out' tonight. Despite some temporary hardship, she sounded enthusiastic. We are very proud of her. I saw a fabulous pic of her in the website the other day to see that she looks well. We miss her. So does the dog!

The one on the couch...well, I just didn't get the sheets all washed and dried like I thought I would when they got taken off the bed. The sound of his breathing is like a nice peaceful fountain as I type.

Teeny chili pepper went to his friend's who was supposed to come here but didn't then ran a friend home and said he'd be back but instead of hanging out here to play video games our teeny chili pepper decided to get picked up to go to his friend's house to play his games instead and to spend the night....and if you think that run on sentence and bad grammar spins your head well so did my teeny chili pepper tonight. But he is a great kid and hugged me before he left and said goodnight and so I still love him even when he is a teeny chili pepper that makes my fountain temperature rise and fall at times. sigh!

Another great note of cheer--some friends met their new daughter today. The pics are amazing. Their adoption process is almost complete.

So I go to bed on a peaceful note with much thanks...oh, but wait!..... not before I go put away the FOUNTAIN! cake....well, okay, it is really 'chocolate-molten LAVA cake. Well, CHOCOLATE will be flowing when I eat it! That's almost like a fountain! I had to buy this cake mix to try. On our vacation we had this scrumptous chocolate melting cake ( and I'd get it with vanilla icecream.) So I bought this cake mix just missing that dessert! And yes, I did get icecream at the store tonight. Ice cream happens to be my favorite food, and so I've had a problem lately. I'd buy the ice cream and not get the cake made to go with it, eat the ice cream, and then put off making the cake. That has happened for several containers of ice cream now. So tonight, I made the cake....and then ran to the store for ice cream...since I needed to get milk anyway of course! Really! And when I said I was going to go put it away before bed, I didn't mean put it away, as in my stomach...I meant put the little lava cakes in a container...and not my mouth container. I'll try tasting one tomorrow...with a bowl of ice cream.

Have you hugged your kids today?
No kids? Well, then go hug some military person today.
Hugs make the world a beautiful place.
