When I was a teenager one of my aunts told me that her favorite part of being a grown up was that if you suddenly found yourself at 11:45 pm wanting to bake a rich chocolate cake with mountains of chocolate icing and topped with toasted coconut and fresh strawberries…you COULD. What I think she neglected to tell me is that if you suddenly find yourself at 12:52 am confronted with a rich chocolate cake with mountains of chocolate icing and topped with toasted coconut and fresh strawberrries…the REAL favorite part of being a grown up is that you can actually eat it. Midnight snack anyone?

Owen is sitting in my lap looking at the cake saying, “Look at that! Look at that!” It will only be a matter of minutes before he’s looking at your cake saying, “Eat FOOD!” Yum!
p.s. is 9:30 am too early to come over and have a slice?
Owen can’t have any without asking his mommy…but of course Rebecca can have some at 9:30 am–grown up privileges and all.
