82/365 - Spring Break Cake

After the kids lounged around all day and complained about how bored they were, I suggested going outside to play [response - it's BORING outside]. I then suggested they "make" something - like cake.

Oh, that got them excited, so much that I had to run to the store to buy two boxes of cake mix (the kids can't handle cake from scratch - too much work, they said).

Rainbow Confetti for Erica, Triple Chocolate for Brian.

Both kids can break the eggs without getting shells in them. That's a cooking milestone, for sure!


And one MUST taste the batter to make sure the cake will be OK:


And the cake turned out just fine. Yummy!
