The Time THIS Mama Slept In...

Friday night Jordan and I made a cake. It was kind of late at night when we started the whole process and she went to bed before it had cooled enough for us to frost it. She made me promise to frost it before I went to bed so she could have a slice for breakfast (what? it is STRAWBERRY cake AND it has EGGS in it...and it is Saturday, a day we usually allow sugar cereal...we spend the rest of the weekend filling her with veggies and stuff...dude, don't judge me!). So I did just that, I frosted the cake and went to bed. I was actually sleeping well for a change so I kept on sleeping...it was nice.

When I got up THIS is what found... I laughed out loud when I saw it.

She was laying on the couch and a BIG smile spread across her face as she suppressed her giggles and said, "I couldn't stop myself it was just soooooo good!! Strawberry is my favorite fruit and the frosting has those little candies and it was just so good, I couldn't help it!!!!" I am pretty sure she gets her lack of self control from me....here's hoping she gets some of my better qualities as well.

Hey, at least she's still got the metabolism to handle all that!

well It has been a while since I stopped by and left you some love! this is a great post cause I totally don't have the self control either and Strawberry cake is one of my faves as well! Though we can not have it in my house do to my oldest little one having an allergy! So let her enjoy an extra smidge for me seeing as I don't have the metabolism for it!

Cristina said...

OH that is hilarious. I love the relationship you two have with each other. I can just see her big blue eyes and goofy smile as she explained herself to you just laughing it off. You two are a blessing to each other.

I take a page from your mommy book daily, thanks for that.

God bless your family.

Amy said...

I don't blame her! Strawberry is my favorite too :) Cute story!

Tammy Howard said...

Big fan of dessert for breakfast - and your young 'un knows how to cut herself a piece of cake! Wow!

Kristen said...

Thanks for the warm welcome. That cake looks yummy!

sassy stephanie said...

Hey, if there is cake in our house, always fair game for bfast.

Leslie Jackson said...

Well....who can blame the kid? It was STRAWBERRY and had EGGS and had those cute sprinkles in the icing. I guess you're lucky she left some for the rest of the family! lol I would have done the same thing!!! You go Jordan!

Annette Lyon said...

Sounds like something I'd do--especially if the cake were chocolate!

Justice Jonesie said...

Oh my goodness, how funny! That's something I would do so I can't fault her for it. It sure does look good!

Thanks for visiting and the warm welcome to the SITSahood!

April said...

She's a girl after my own heart! Give me some cake...and before you know it, half of it's devoured. Ummm...it's so good!

Eudae-Mamia said...

"Mom is great!! "Gives us the strawberry cake!"

(Bill Cosby reference).

The only thing better for breakfast is pie. Your daughter is adorable. And my kind of gal.

Stereos and Souffles said...

Love it! A slice equals a quarter!

cjnichols said...

Hilarious! I can't blame her though, it does look super yummy! Cake for breakfast is the best!

The Vance's said...

My daughter would also love that cake! Cake for breakfast is good (as I'm sitting here eating chocolate chips cookies for breakfast). Thank goodness it's a workout night!

banananutmeg said...

Jules said...

Ditto to Meg! I did have a marshmallow bunny for breakfast today though. Darn Easter candy!

Megan said...

I probably would have eaten more than that! ;) It looks YUMMY!

Natalie said...

That. Is. Awesome.

I want a Mom like you!

Amy said...

I think I was even there to take mine too. Yummy!!!!!

lori said...

that is funny...and it is something my daughter would do! In fact, i caught her sneaking another choc chip cookie last week after I let he have one! She would live on them if nobody was around to stop her! And she is a stick...maybe I should try that diet!

mrs.cupcake said...

Divaeva said...

shortmama said...

Too funny! It does look sinfull delicious though!

Dawn said...

Your cake looks delicious! One of my favorite things about birthday parties is having cake for breakfast the next day :)

mommaof4wife2r said...

i am with her...i've had cake and cookies and ice cream JUMP in my mouth. sometimes, you can't stop these things...you just have to abide.

Christy said...

I LOVE cake for breakfast, any day of the week. Mmmm.

Mya said...

Man that cake looks good! I woulda eaten just as much! LOL

Oh and I see NOTHING wrong with just cake or just donuts for breakfast LOL

Superjaxster said...

LOL I think I would have had a piece at least that big as well. It looks too yummy and pink!!! Here comes that cupcake craving again...

PS Clicked the fish!

c'est Moi! the tink-n-frog said...

That cake looks so good. I can't blame her for her generous cake slicing. Jordan can cut me a piece ;)

AmyK said...

I can't control myself with that kind of frosting, either. But with that kind of CAKE underneath the frosting? Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless. I don't think she has "little self control"... I think she has a lot! I'm impressed she only ate a quarter of it!

Mary Ellen said...

Hey, she left you more than half - what more could you want? I like a girl who indulges in a little cake for breakfast!

Brandy said...

Seems like a perfectly reasonable breakfast to me. What?!

~Thought's By Dena~ said...

too funny....I have no self control when it comes to sweets...I try and Im working on it...but Im not doing so well!!! oh by the way the cake looks YUUUUUMMMMMYYYY!!!!!
Can I have a slice????

Craftymoose Crafts said...

Wow! That sure looked yummy! I'm sure she will burn those calories right off, too.

"FINE"al thoughts... said...

In my next life I want to be the calm and cool kind of mom that you are!

Christina said...

Who can blame her.... it was cake.... and it was left on the counter, right? At least she left you some. :-)

Carey-Life in the Carpool Lane said...

Ohhhh...that cake looks good. It's late in the afternoon and I'm so needing a sugar fix (but I bet it was delish for breakfast)!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
And now, per your suggestion, I'm going to go comment on the commenter above mine!

Grand Pooba said...

hahaha! I tell ya that girl is near and dear to my heart! I have the biggest sweet tooth! In fact I've got to stop looking at that cake because I want it. I wan it now!

(Don't be surprised if you find your cake missing. I'm gonna blame it on Jordan anyway)

hfl said...

I personnaly don't find anything wrong with cake for breakfast.

Kelly said...

That's hilarious! I totally could have eaten that much. When I was j's age I used to walk to the local mini-market and buy a tub of that icing with the little colored things in it. Then I would eat it. No cake, just it! Soooo yummy.

HeatherY said...

That's hilarious! I'm the same way with cake! I just can't stop! It looks delicious!

Susie said...

It's cake...I understand:-)

mzzmyrick said...

Haa Haa Haa! That is the most awesomest size slice! I would love to have your girl serve me up a piece of cake, that is for sure!
I ADORE strawberry cake with vanilla frosting... so now thanks to your picture Pregnant Me will be thinking about it until I make one and try to eat it all.

Sapphire said...
