VD Calls for Fist Pumping.


On Sunday we drove down to my dad's house to celebrate Valentine's Day, I'm not sure if he cringes when he hears that we are coming or gets excited.  Four babies in an apartment is like putting four rabid dogs in a meat locker.  I cannot wait for warm weather when I can finally release mine to the outdoors.


While everyone ate lunch, I whipped up some cupcakes.  Then the kids entertained themselves by not-sharing, throwing tantrums, making a mess, and trying to escape out the back door.  My dad also doubled as a rag doll, as you can see from the photo above.

 

She looks cute and innocent right?  What she isn't telling you is that she has a victim shoved in the kitchen cupboard.  Oh look, he's trying to escape right now!


When the cupcakes were ready the kids spread a little frosting, licked a finger.  Spread a little frosting, licked the knife.  You know how it goes when you are three...it's all about letting them learn and be creative.



My sister and I agreed that my dad is an instigator when it comes to the kids...now I have video proof!  He asked this unsuspecting child if he wanted some candy and then gave him some red hots.  That should teach Ryan not to trust him!

The cupcakes turned out perfect, see I can cook!


You need a little more right there.

Just the right amount!

Yummo...

Hard at work!

The finished product.

Finger lickin' good.


Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

My mom said the next kitchen she has will have floor drains so that when the kids do baking with her, she can just hose the fucker down. Genius.
