The cake is finished. It took quite a lot longer than it should have, but hey, when it's just you and a four-year-old, things do tend to take longer than usual. I put an apron on her and gave her some icing and a piece of the extra part of the cake so she could do some decorating too, but it didn't buy me enough time to finish the cake! Two hours into it, I raised the white flag and asked Steve if he could take a break from his studies and occupy Elizabeth while I finished the cake. I'm pleased with the way the cake turned out, and when the kids got home from school, they all gave it a big thumbs up. After work tonight, I packed up the loot bags and got the camera charged up. I think we're ready to go.
It is supposed to get really cold tonight. We had a great afternoon temperature of about plus one degree, so I worked at the driveway a bit to clear it as much as I could, and took advantage of the 'warmth' to change our lightbulbs on the driveway, since they had both burned out during the last cold snap. I think it's going to be quite cold for a few days now.
So, with the day's work done, I'm off to bed. 8:00am on a Saturday seems so much earlier than it does during the week, but that's when I have to be at work. I am so thankful for a job I love. By this time tomorrow evening, the party will be over. Whew! It will be fun.
