January 20

The kids had the day off. Adam did not. Facing an extra 12 hours with just me at the helm of the family ship, I wanted to put something different on the roster. So, we made cake pops.

To be honest, they were the ugliest cake pops I'd ever seen. And I burnt the second batch after I went upstairs to call my mom and forgot I'd put them in the oven.

But Brady had fun watching me spoon the battle into the pan. And Abby and Isaac had fun dipping the cooled pops into red candy melts.

And we had a new experience, together.

And that is a million dollar blessing.
