Chocolate Cake!
How is it that something so simple can be so rewarding and frustrating at the same time?
Watching the transformation that these few simple ingredients combine together to make something so rich and magical all in one bite.
Seeing your husbands frustration as the he tries to make sense of an incomplete recipe.
Making his own changes to try and make things better only to find that his efforts to make something so sweet just might not turn out the way he'd hope for at all.
Giving up in anger as nothing is coming together as it should.
Questioning why he even tried in the first place.
Walking away in disgust not wanting to see what his final master piece has become.
Wondering what went so wrong.
Knowing that everything will be fine.
Smelling the goodness through out the house.
Catching little fingers trying to sneak a taste.
Eyes sparkling with delight even though dad refuses to even try to fix it any more.
Anxiously awaiting permission to sink their teeth into the delicate dessert.
Watching your children's eyes light up as the quickly RUN to their seats in hopes that they might get more than their sibling.
Listening to them squeal and squeak with joy and laughter as they gobble up every last crumb.
Asking for more while they finish licking their plates of heaven.
Thanking the magic maker for trying even though it may not be the beautiful master piece he envisioned.
Rewarding his efforts.
There's always next time!
