Smear or Schmear?

This week was the 4th Grade Student Council Representative Election

Calista worked her heart out all weekend, organizing, crafting, and worrying

She loves Student Council

She takes it VERY seriously

Last year it was her world

Yesterday was suppose to be the BIG vote

It didn't happen

Today it did happen

She wore her brand new tutu Aunt Cassie had made for her (Madee has a matching one, makes it even more special....Thank You Amy for your fabulous work), her good luck necklace I gave her before the tooth incident, her I Love You necklace her Daddy gave her, and the special tulle skull flower headband I made her

ALL for good luck

BUT

She will not get the results of the election until tomorrow

Oh the pins and needles she is waiting on

When I picked her up from school today

I knew she needed a little pick me up

She wears her heart on her sleeve

(actually on her blue-eyes I can always tell what she is thinking and feeling with those lovely blue windows to her soul)

Not only is she nervous about the election

Mr. Smitty is away traveling for work

Columbus, OH welcomed him on Tuesday

So

I decided to surprise her with her favorite thing

Baking

All by herself

I bought all the ingredients for Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

AND

I let her go to town

She forgot all about the upcoming results tomorrow

She talked to her Daddy on the phone

AND

She cracked me up

I thought her pretending she was on Food Network was funny while she was making the cupcakes

It got better

When she started frosting them she said,

"Mom, so tell me is this frosting a Smear or a Schmear?"

I of course started laughing so hard I think a little pee came out

I gathered myself and said,

"I'm thinking it is more like a Schmear."

AND

My quick witted girl simply said,

"That's what she said."

How proud I am my 9 year old can quote The Office in no time flat

Her father would be soooo proud

This whole night was about me trying to perk her up and take her little mind off of her worries

AND

She ended up making my whole week

Isn't it funny how that works?

xoxoxo

Mama Smitty

P.S. Did I mention how AMAZING the cupcakes are?  Serioulsy AMAZING....Sprinkles Cupcakes has nothing on my babe.  I will be bringing one for the Nana, my work wife, and a certain little Mama who has a birthday coming up on Friday......sorry Cassie, you are left out, no chocolate for you!  I guess we will save one for our man too.  Did I tell you we miss him?
