Valentines

Well, my Valentines date was last night so I didn't do anything today to celebrate. Except I did make a heart shaped low fat chocolate cake for my boys. Super easy:

Mix together the following:

1 cup Splenda
1 cup flour
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup egg substitute ( I used egg whites)
1 T vanilla
1 T soft butter
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
3/4 unsweetened cocoa

Bake at 350 C for 25-20 minutes in an 8" or 9" pan. It's not the BEST cake ever, but it tastes pretty darn good for being healthy. And it's not sweet at all so you really get the cocoa flavour.

I'm really tired today. It doesn't help that I walked almost 7 kilometers with the boys to pick up my two new Pampered Chef pans! I'm also not completely over this cold and I'm hoping it's almost over.

Nate's working again tomorrow so I'm hoping he'll take the car I'm supposed to be selling so I can get out of the house for a bit. Otherwise, we're going on another walk tomorrow boys!!!

Those of you who know what "In The Night Garden" is... would be amused to know that Kai is obsessed with Maka Pakka. If he's crying, he wants MP... if he's going to bed, he wants MP... if he's just in a good mood and wants someone to share a laugh... you get the picture.

I do have a funny story to share. This morning I was sitting on the couch with the boys, reading books, when Jericho took off all of a sudden. I let him go and just listened, but there was silence and that's never good. So I went down the hallway and there he was sitting on our bed with his teddy bear in his arms. Not really that strange, but wait... His shirt was half-way up and he was holding the bear in a 'nursing' position. I tried hard to hold back my gales of laughter as I calmly asked him what he was doing. His response? "Feeding Bear Boob".

Whatever will I do with this little man?
