jack strikes again

i made a cake with the kids today (i'm so sick of coloring and finger paints). we iced the cake, put sprinkles on it and covered it with the promise that the kids could have a slice after dinner.

then i went to get the mail. as i was walking back into the house, kate runs to the door and starts screaming 'mommy! mommy! mommy!'. (which, to a mother, means that someone's head has fallen off or found the knife block and is sliced to ribbons)

turns out jack had dragged a chair over to the counter, taken the cover off the cake and was up to his elbows in cake and frosting, stuffing it in his mouth hand over fist.

here's what the cake looked like when i finally wrenched him away from it:

Not to compare Jack with my brother's dog, but....

lol! he's worse than our dog, even. at least our dog can't reach the counters (and i can say 'leave it' and she slinks away. no such luck with jack. he just laughs and keeps on doing what he's doing. i blame it on jeff.)

Thanks--I needed a laugh today.

I had one pinch a whole corner off one of the other kids b-day cakes about 10 minutes before her party! We found her hiding in her closet.
