Spider-Man

We had a youth fundraiser Spaghetti Dinner and Cake Auction tonight to earn money for camp. Each of the youth were supposed to bring a cake to auction. I was just going to have Tristen make a football cake, but then I got this idea to turn it into a Spider-Man cake. It was the first time I've ever used rolled fondant (the extra smooth icing). We spent ALL morning decorating. It was fun though and it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself ;-) It sold for $100 and it took third place in the judging.

Say What???

4/28/11 -- My Aunt Natalie's funeral was today and Camden asked several questions about death throughout the day. Tonight I told him he could watch TV but not play video games, and he said "Because it's one of those funeral days?"

5/17/11 -- Camden coloring with markers: "Mom, the blue doesn't work because some kind of kid left it open."

5/18/11 -- Camden: "Mom, I love you. I love you more than ice cream."

5/27/11 -- Eating lunch at Canton City Camden says "Mom, I love ice cream, but sometimes it gives me brain freeze -- do you get brain freeze?" Me: "Sometimes, but I never got it when I was little." Camden: "Because you didn't have brains?"

5/31/11 -- Emme was playing with my eyelash curler and Camden walked in and asked: "Are you pretending to be pretty?"

5/31/11 -- Tristen said Jarek looked Chinese. I explained that it was a genetic impossibility. Then Tristen said "Well, maybe there are just so many Chinese people that God throws the extras to the Mormons."

7/11 -- A couple of days after we got our male baby goat I asked Camden if he wanted to hold him. He said he had held him before, so I asked him when. He said "A few years ago."

8/2/11 -- Camden: "What do you call a fly if you pull it's wings off?"

8/3/11 -- Jarek: "Are you going somewhere Mom?" (A VERY common question for him to ask.) Me: Yeah, I'm going to Vernal." Jarek: "And you're wearing that?"

8/31/11 -- Jarek, comparing two desserts at Cafe Rio: "They taste pretty much the same except for the flavor."

9/1/11 -- Camden, as we walked by a mens baseball team practicing: "Look Mom, they're playing t-ball."

9/20/11 -- "What is that horrible noise?" Camden's reaction when Jarek started practicing his trumpet.

11/3/11 -- Emme: "Camden, I think your fish is dead."
Camden: "NO IT'S NOT, it's just laying down!"
