3 time offender {chocolate eclair cake recipe}

1st time out.
we've crossed the great divide.
where "he's just a baby" and "he just wacked her and he knew he shouldn't" slam into each other.
and sometimes that means slamming into your sister's face.

wednesday 9:36am.
hitter.
3 time offender.

and do you know what?
i MAY have ignored it a little bit longer
just because when you're the third kid,
you've got to look out for yourself.
and his punch is still whimpy,
especially when he's the man on the ground,
and i think i was checking my bank statement too,
and she's the gal up in the bistro chair,
and she was a hitter too,
but then i put him in time out.
and max got to take
pride in the
fact
the
world
was
a
fair
place
again
at
last.
hahahahaha.
if only she knew the truth.
oh to be almost 2,
baby man. 
...
MAKE THIS.
like on sunday.
or something.
if you don't have 2pm church.
or if you do,
make it before you go.
b/c i swear to you that it gets better with age.
the longer it sits in your fridge.
it's light.
it's fluffy.
and then there's this chocolate on the top.
OH MY.
just make it.

That chocolate eclair cake is one of my favorites, but my family detests it. How could they think such things? Then I eat all of it myself . . . I'll just have to stop by and have a slice of yours!
