while the cake cools off





the boys baked. all the messy mixing went fine, but then there is the waiting, that's the hard part. first it must bake, then cool off. the essence of torture.

pearls, atlas, a little bit of drawing, followed by some touching and just plain staring. and a whole lot of  "can we taste now?" from the moment it went into the oven till i said yes. and then we had cake.
