hit or miss

I've discovered a strange anomaly

in my home recently
Mixed Reviews...
where soup is involved.
Me?

I could have it with every meal.

My boys...
not so much.

 So when I joyfully shouted,

Soup's on!

and got

Ugh...not again,

in reply.

My mind's ear heard...

Lotsa leftovers for me...

yippee!

Smoky Tomato & Lentil Soup

With Spinach and Olives

(PPK)

wasn't my favorite either.

I love the kalamata but this was too...

too...

A MISS.

Moving on with our evening

and a very special evening it was.

My baby girl

Kierstin

turned four

with mama's cupcakes and family

singing along to a fast paced

rendition of Happy Birthday

provided by a musical candle.

She was all smiles.

A HIT.

Grandma Jenny's Chocolate Yogurt Bundt Cake (PPK)

was a MISS with Kierstin

(well, come on...who can compete

with mama's cupcakes)

even with strawberries and

chocolate ganache.

A HIT 

with me and James however.

We'll call that one

A TIE.

An attempt at catching family

in the act of

serenading Kierstin...

A MISS.

Kierstin took over

with the new

thinking that a four-year-old 

can do better.

A HIT.

She schooled me.

Almost.

Although the fuzzy factor does make me look

ten years younger so I will

call it
A HIT.

She turned the camera on her
 beautiful self 

for this HIT

entitled

Birthday Bliss.

Quickly followed by

Dang That Flash is Bright!
 MISS.

The camera was trying to

keep up with those fast little

fingers

when it captured

My Striped Pants and Purple Polish.

Oh come on...

that's
 a HIT.

Let's tally it up

for the official count.

Drum roll...

The HITS have it.

I do believe

Kierstin

would agree.

Happy Birthday, Light of My Life!
