scouts

Many of you know that I am in Scouts. Well last night we had a Pack meeting. It was supposed to be a little more than the ordinary meeting as one of our boys was getting their Arrow of Light and that comes with it's own ceremony. We (the committee) decided to order a cake with the Arrow of Light badge printed on top. So I was given the task to order this cake. I did. All was well, I picked up the cake yesterday. It was a beautiful cake. Then had done well on it. I brought it home and set it on the counter. A few hours later, I decided I needed a nap. (Haven't been sleeping due to Robert's schedule/and health lately) So I asked Brynlee to watch Alexa as she had been getting into everything lately. I had no sooner walked back to my bedroom and laid down then I heard a crash and Brynlee yell, MOM in a worried voice. I knew it instantly. The CAKE.

Yup you guessed it. Alexa had climed up on the counter and knocked the cake off onto the floor, out of the box, UPSIDE down. Of course, on my filthy, needs to be mopped floor!! I was so angry, everyone was bannished from my sight to the basement for a long while. I was even to angry to clean it up. I called Robert in a panic about what I was going to do for the meeting that night. He was on his way home from work anyway, so he came and cleaned it up and we left for Winco to see what substitute we could come up with. We found something suitable, but no where near as cool as what we had. I didn't even let the kids eat it, (the ruined cake) but this is what it now looks like.
