My Little Prince Is Home

This is my little prince. He has been home for seven days. He was gone for six weeks. I have never been away from him for longer than a few days. It was a long six weeks. He took a red eye flight home and since he was an unaccompanied minor he had to get off the plane last. I was waiting by the gate because I had to get a special security pass and meet him at his gate. This random lady getting off the plane walked up to me and said is your son on this flight? I said why yes he is. She said oh he sat by me and he was such a good boy. He slept the whole way home and she had covered him up with the blanket and made sure he was ok. I was so glad that he was good on the flight. As he got off the plane he was just waking up so he was a little groggy but he woke right up when he saw me. I was of course crying because I was so relieved to have him back and he thought something was wrong. I just told him that I missed him and loved him so much. He has fallen right back into life here at home. This picture that I am posting is one that I took last night. For some reason he loves to draw mustaches and beards on his face with markers. I have told him a million times to knock it off....boys....I am so happy to have my little prince back home with me. I think that he missed me a little. Every day when I get home from work he runs to the door and gives me a big hug and that always makes my day.

The Red Velvet Cake

Yesterday I had the day off. I went to Costco in the morning and then trekked all the Costco purchases up to the second floor. I then put everything away, made lunch, picked up two kids from the relative's house, made another list for Wal Mart, spent an hour plus in Wal Mart, made dinner, cleaned up dinner, made a red velvet cake, made lunch for today for everyone. The red velvet cake was for some of the guys on my hubby's crew. I sent about half the cake and we all had a small piece for desert. I had a quite large chunk left for tonight. Today I worked all day and then had to go sign some papers after work. I got home a little after 7pm. I was going to make dinner and then enjoy a large slice of heaven. As I glided by the counter I stopped in my tracks...could my tired eyes be deceiving me? It could not be...nobody could be that stupid to lick all the frosting off the prized red velvet cake. This was no box cake. This was a made from scratch frosting included cake. I could not believe my eyes. I called, ok I screamed, for all three kids to get into the kitchen pronto. Kaitlyn gave Nicholas this look like now we're caught. I smelled a big rat. To make a long story short all three got spanked before anyone confessed. Nicholas finally said he took one little lick off the top. I was furious. The whole thing was ruined because as he said it tasted good. So sadly..the cake had to go! Hopefully tomorrow will not end on the same note.
