a seat at the table: sweetpea beauty.

Peanut is the queen of organization. I didn't think it could get much worse than myself until I birthed a mini me. Scary.

Each of our family members has their assigned "favorite" colors, and she likes to keep everything in perfect order. Only Buddy should use the blue bowl, and K should always use the red gingerbread man when we play Candyland. She reluctantly uses the yellow at that game since there are, unfortunately, no pink gingerbread women.

Here's a typical picture of our family:

Red K, pink Peanut, green me, blue Buddy and purple Sweet P. I certainly hope Sweet P doesn't mind being branded as the purple one of the family because Peanut has eternally staked her claim on all things pink.

Below is a picture she drew for my mom of us at the beach. Sweet P is purple, she is pink, and Buddy has blue shoes. Oh, and no, my mom's name isn't TuTu. Her grandma name is Juju, but Peanut hasn't quite mastered those Js.

Moving right along... I'll admit I lack extensively at creativity and being the "fun mom." ...but Peanut saw an ad for the new Veggie Tales movie Sweetpea Beauty in a mailing from Lifeway bookstore, and I decided it would make for a really fun family night.

At the last minute I also found a recipe for cookie cake and baked it. Unfortunately, my baking stone was no where near big enough and I had chunks of dough spilling over the edges all over the oven as it baked. See evidence below. You could not see one square centimeter of the baking stone. Forgot to take a picture of the oven.

Nothing a bunch of brightly colored icing won't cover.
