Shark Attack Update

I can't stop cracking up about these shark attack cupcakes! I was showing my dude the picture last night from Ladies Home Journal and I was laughing so hard as I explained to him how crazy it is to think that any mom in her right mind would try such a thing! He laughed along with me 'cause he's that kind of guy but he may have been wondering if I had lost my mind and actually might try baking said cupcakes myself.

So today I had to try and find a picture of that terrifying scene of chaos because my initial search on LHJ (that's short for Ladies Home Journal ladies, what are you losers?) turned up squat. But a quick Google search proved fruitful. Very fruitful indeed. I found a semi-professional version of how it's supposed to look here and then I found a real mom warped version of how it can look here.

I was so encouraged to see the warped version and it made me laugh even more.  And I've decided if there is simply ONE thing I can do each day in my swirling world of survival-style mommying, I can LAUGH.

That is, as long as I don't laugh too much by myself while folding laundry because well, you know what that might seem like.  The kids may start really questioning my stability - as if they're not doing that already.

The professional version minus the life preservers and channel markers (how lame is that!)



The real mom version which thankfully looks like its made from a real mom



The added warped factor which makes me breathe a happy sign of relief
