Tailcake...

tailcake

The Red head with a tail in question would be none other that the princess of the deep herself Miss Ariel, and her two cronies. There is some small comfort that the aqua pricess was in fact a candle and therefore had her head set on fire, but I’m not bitter...... - Amputee Barbie. I would like to congratulate the Weaselmomma for guessing Swiper the Fox, (red-head with a tail) I hadn’t even thought of that one.

Well once again the outdoor party was a resounding success. Keep Reading....

I Am JungleGyM

But it inevitably goes too far, by just___that much. Some one get's hurt, feelings or otherwise, or someone gets frustrated. "Daaaaaadddddyyyy! She's not respecting me! (I'm not kidding). I got ahead of myself. Normally they are asleep or at least well on their way by 7:30 - 8:00pm, so when we miss that window, well you get the idea.

Now, When we have company, they take it to another level. Today is Easter Sunday and that means, family function. This year we opted to do dessert at our place. The Sugar Momma out did herself once again, not only does she bring home the bacon, but she also does killer pie. She concocted a dairy-free Key Lime Pie with a meringue topping, oh so good. Family function also means short things are up past their bedtime, which can spell trouble for the rest of the night. Recently we had my baby sister and her boyfriend over for dinner and I think we scared him off kids for a good long time. The Short things were in rare form that night also. It's kind of amusing, We have a gracious couple of relatives who take ThingOne over-night occasionally and she always has a great time. It's always amusing that after dropping her back off at home, they need to go home and nap.

Holidays like Easter present interesting challenges in an allergy-prone household. Sugar Momma always takes care of it though, this past Christmas she found some candy molds and made her own rice-milk chocolate Santa's and the like. She carried this theme on through with Easter and the kid's never know the difference. Adversity Breeds Greatness! (or the need for chocolate drives women to great lengths, one or the other).

Fugitive Doritos and Hip Hop.

So, why was I there, doing that, in the dark, by myself. Well, ThingTwo is a little over two years old now, when she was about six months old we discovered she had allergies. To a lot of things. The worst were dairy, and nuts so you might see where this is going.

For a little over a year and a half now, we have had no dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, etc.) in the house. The same goes for Peanut Butter. Do you have any idea how far reaching dairy is? It's in EVERYTHING. Salt & Vinegar Chips! Look closely in some brands, it's in there. Now, when I need a dairy hit (cheese, chocolate, milk) I have to leave the house. Call me weak. I don't care, I like cheese.

So where does Hip Hop fit in? Two words...questionable lyrics. But the beats, the beats are so good. The kind of stuff that grabs you in the guts and twists, but in that good way. I like music, quite a variety, and a lot of it has lyrics or even just certain words that little ears were not meant to hear, yet. Thus it goes I sit in the dark like a fugitive rocking out to Hip Hop, eating Doritos.

Sometimes, it's just about the simple things...
