Owen's Mess

Grandparents Day was a few weeks ago and I thought I would be fun and go over to my mom and dad's and suprise them with dinner and my dad's favorite cake, Spice cake. So, they were visiting my brother and were going to be home at about 5 pm. I went over there at 3 to start making dinner and put the cake in the oven. Then when they got home, they could smell yummy cake as they walked through the door.

My plans drastically changed at about 4 when I turned my head, for not even a second, and Owen had pulled the cord to the mixer and it tumbled to the floor. I had just finished mixing all the batter and was greasing the pan. Nice timing.

I guess it was a little bit my fault because I had given Owen a lick of batter off the spatula and I guess he wanted more!!!

I was very suprised to find out that he wasn't hurt and also, how far cake batter can spill. So, any of you who have been to my parents house, this is in their kitchen and the mixer was on the end by the garage and the window is about 6-8 feet away. A long way to go for cake batter!!!

Here are a few pics of the fun I had cleaning up.

The main landing spot.


The window, complete with splatters from 8 feet away


The sink and mixer.


All over the oven.


And it got ALL over me!


It took me about an hour to clean the sink, the windows, and the cabinets. So when my parents got home, they found the mess. I guess it really didn't turn out how I wanted.

WHAT A GOOD SUPRISE!!!
