Owen and Nelly couldn't wait to play in it, though. Nelly doesn't remember snow from last year, and the whole idea of a "snowsuit" was REALLY confusing her. While I was busy putting Owen's gear on him, Nelly went into her bedroom, completely stripped off all her clothes, and got her "fwimming" suit (aka: swimming suit) out of her drawer. She was totally devastated when I made her put it back, and get her clothes back on. At least she was until I pulled out her SNOWSUIT and helped her get it on. Maybe now, she's got it figured out.
The other night, I decided to make a chocolate cake. Nelly found her favorite place on the yellow stool to sit and watch. She's learning that patience pays off when you sit in the kitchen and watch Mom cook! :)
And today's recipe post is the chocolate cake I made (Tiana, if you're reading this you'll no longer need to plot a midnight break-in....;-)). I found the recipe on one of my favorite recipe websites (allrecipes.com). It is a heavy cake, but very moist, and very chocolatey. I made it in my bundt pan and it came out just beautiful. Incidentally, I also discovered that it tastes better the second day, so save some for later if you can.

Ohhh...all of you with snow pictures - you're killing me! I'd like to order a little bit of the white stuff - but jus for about a week please, the it can all go back up north! Jacob is dying to play in the snow - but since it only happens every 25 years (literally) or so, he may be waiting a while! We get quite a bit of ice, but none of the fun stuff to go with it. Thanks for sharing the chocolate cake recipe - like I need that! But it does look delish!
