What an awesome mom to even try, I would've given up the first night. Maybe next year you should just walk Claire through the bakery section of Walmart ;) yea right, now you have a whole year to nail it and get it for next time. Which, by the way, I think yours actually came out great!

I just found your blog because we're both linked on the lovely Bring Joy Blog (ya!) and I actually laughed out loud as I was reading this. so funny.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your real mom experience with us. As a mother of two girls, and an over-achieving dreamer, I can totally see this exact scenario happening in our house. <br /><br />Happy Weekend!<br />Emily JeffordsEmilyJeffordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690511109949452362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323102104813731988.post-30455436722618458122012-09-14T21:52:24.953-05:002012-09-14T21:52:24.953-05:00Please write "Nailed it" really huge acr...Please write "Nailed it" really huge across the pics and pin to Pinterest.

Last year I wanted to bring a beautiful three tiered, beautifully frosted cake to my son's preschool cakewalk (PRESCHOOL cake walk, for crying out loud. Why did I set myself up?). Long story short, it was a crazy week, the cake broke in half over the layers and slid into a big messy oblivion. I sat there crying and grabbed a fork and just dug in. I ended up dashing to the store and bringing those yucky store bought m&m cookies on a cheap white paper plate. I looked like I didn't even care! That's when I learned not to be a hero and to just stick with chocolate chip cookies and call it good! Haha.<br />Anyway, I'm impressed that you care so much, and while those other kids might not know to what lengths you went, Claire will always know her mama loves her!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148661813297861757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323102104813731988.post-16478046946745938292012-09-14T08:32:25.254-05:002012-09-14T08:32:25.254-05:00And, Ashley just said of your cake pops: That one ...And, Ashley just said of your cake pops: That one is not the best because it doesn't have a bow. Because it was raining and the bow got off. But, it's still so cute. Like a baby puppy kitty. <br /><br />See. Kids don't care. ;)Gary Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980752257125914038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323102104813731988.post-41839318485403970302012-09-14T08:30:28.403-05:002012-09-14T08:30:28.403-05:00Generoulsy made them available to you hicks.

And, would a little Sharpie marker actually kill someone? Just sayin. <br /><br />ps- Ashley just walked up to my computer and pointed at these cake pops and said "What is that?" ... Crap.

I've learned the kids don't really care. It's over in five seconds and they've moved on to whatever's next. Keep it simple and you'll always win!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752033993052187338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323102104813731988.post-90702135365767197762012-09-13T14:37:35.510-05:002012-09-13T14:37:35.510-05:00I have completely failed at cake pops too.

And your little kitty doesn't look too bad, I bet your girls enjoyed eating them! <br /><br />Mac's b-day is this week and I was just going to skip the class treats, but donuts sound pretty good and impossible to mess up... thanks for the idea!Emily Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04440144999371425210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323102104813731988.post-18397944652390742092012-09-13T11:38:19.847-05:002012-09-13T11:38:19.847-05:00This is exactly why we are kindred spirits!

Now I think it's funny and wish I had one. At least one day Claire has proof that you really tried!<br /><br />PS I don't think she looks THAT bad. Although eyeless ones would be creepy!Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053582926858553135noreply@blogger.com
