I was at the door of the little gym. One hand balancing the twenty point two layer, 13x9, four batch of icing, three color, six hour monstrosity. The other hand trying to open the door. Nobody was around and I was too impatient to wait.
Then the door bumped the cake and shifted the balance forward. It started to slip. I looked to the right, and quickly tried to grab the cake, my fingers digging in. Ahead of my fingers the cake split in half. The first half hitting the ground and the other half, only seconds later shifted the balance backwards and then slammed itself into the ground.
And that was Megan's 2nd birthday cake. All over the ground, a mere ten steps from the table where it was supposed to sit.
Megan had a great time at the party anyway. She saw the cake earlier and I'm sure she has no idea that it was supposed to be for her. But given my lack of sleep it hit me pretty hard. I ended up getting a cake from Safeway.

Can't wait to see those and the pictures of the birthday girl!

Funny how what kids value and what we value are so in congruent sometimes.
