cause to celebrate

after a long 14+ days of NO POOP, E finally exploded today. ok, exploded doesn't even come close to describing it. she detonated. she erupted. she blasted. what do you expect? 14+ days with no poop = cloggage like you've never seen.

indeed, there was great cause to celebrate.

and so, to celebrate this happy poop day, we made a happy poop day cake:



i know what you're thinking. marci, you're so weird. and a little grotesque. why did you make a happy poop day cake?? and, why did you make your cake look like poop? to answer the first question: i love any excuse to make a delicious dessert. to answer the second: well, honestly, it was an accident. i've never made homemade chocolate cake before (obviously). and taking cake out of two 8" rounds to stack them on each other is a lot harder than it sounds. but i'm happy about the accident. i think it is very appropriate that our happy poop day cake looks like a big pile of poop.

thank goodness it didn't taste like it.

happy poop day to us!

{a very happy, empty ellie}

*note: M would like me to make it clear that i was NOT the one who cleaned the explosion. you see, ellie conveniently chose to erupt while i was at work today. he was the knight in shining...poop.
