You never know when the need might arise

Nate absolutely had to sleep in his camouflage ninja costume tonight.

I'm still not really clear on why. But perhaps some things are better left unexplained. At least by the time he was asleep and we took this picture, he'd removed the hood that goes with it.

"It just feels really cozy," he told me. And as my hands were covered in chocolate from a cake recipe gone awry, (shocker, huh?) I was like, okay whatever.

So don't mess with him. He will absolutely end you.

(And the cake actually turned out fine, thank you for your concern.)

  2. Yep, boys. I have found my boys sleeping with nerf guns and buzz lightyear blasters, and entire storm trooper costumes.

  3. The need for stealthy protection is never greater than when the family sleeps. Who better than Nate the Great to be on guard ?

  5. My 3 year old has to sleep with this Winnie the Pooh key every night. We were at the hardware store getting spare keys made, and we saw a Winnie the Pooh blank key. I bought it for him, and it's his favorite possession. He sleeps with it every night, which poses some problems because inevitably, it gets lost in the sheets or falls behind the bed. They're so funny with their bedtime idiosyncrasies.

    But I bet you felt safe.

  6. Okay, still on the Pioneer Woman recipe topic, one time, I tried to make that cake (that IS the one you're referring to in this post, right? Chocolate sheet cake?) and ran out of butter, but had a stick of margarine (BLEH!! Still claim that husband bought it, not me) and used that in the frosting, which came out horrifically, and so I tried to eat the cake without the frosting... anyway.

  7. Ha! You little detective. :) yup, this was my first time trying it. The butter wasn't the issue for me, it was that I followed the directions about pouring the icing over the "warm" cake a little too closely. It spilled over the sides of the pan and ran all over the counter! Messy! It looked a little funny, but was fine after I gave it time to set a little. My neighbors came over for coffee right at that chocolate covered moment, and I was like, "Hi! Please excuse the chocolate on my forehead. And hair."
