Madi's Bunny House...3.19.10 hanging out with Sisa getting started on our annual bunny house tradition...the cutest and tastiest bunny house ever. this is our tradition...spring and winter. we added lemon oil and rose water to make our yellow and pink frostings yummier...the smelled so good. Madi really does the decorating...I'm just her sioux chef...she mixes the frosting and everything! the master frosting piper making a heart and filling it in now the candy flowers in rainbow formation the bunny house gets "bunny ears" for the picture the frosting exploded...uh oh!  happens every time! oh well...I'll lick it off! is she not the cutest little baker ever!? now for pink sparkly sprinkles more fine tuning.. so proud...see her name in the back yard?  Sisa helped love her little headband...she found it at Nana's house...so precious adding some final touches of pink sparkle dust...this is serious work!...and the bunny getting "bunny ears"...so funny! ...

Madison was inspired to bake by her book... What's baking,Strawberry Shortcake? ...and by her bunny cookie house she decorated yesterday. It was time to bake a chocolate cake...a good time filler for a five year old and her tired "auntie"...who earlier in the day while swimming and irritated at me told me that she was too big to play with toys...while she did the quotes with her fingers! How does a five year old know to do quotation marks with her fingers to emphasis her point!? I asked her what that meant, what she did with her fingers...and she replied something a little non-sensical...but no so much that it still didn't leave me scratching my head. I am amazed at what comes out of her little mind...she told me today, totally out of the blue that she was sad (this while watching a video right next to me and completely happy just seconds before). I asked why she was sad...and as only a child of divorce can so heart-breakingly say..."I don't want another bed....
