The Power of the Graham

So...yesterday after church Paige informs me that the Beehives are in charge of treats for BYD (Bishop's Youth Discussion for all you YM/YW impaired. That's Young Men/Young Women...geesh!).
My mind immediately goes to the fastest and easiest treats in my repertoire. Before I could even finish my thought she says, "Someone is already doing no bake cookies and brownies." Dang IT ALL!!!! My 2 fastest options are gone, down the drain, kapuut!

I ponder....I ponder about praying....I ponder some more. Inspiration hits me like a truck. I'll make some frosting (quick, easy, 1 bowl, low mess) and ........


(insert the sound of an angelic choir singing)
I wIlL fRoSt GrAhAm CrAcKeRs!!!!

Who can resist little mock sandwiches with a sugary filling? Paige was not happy. I could read her thoughts...."this is so lame....they will laugh at me.....crap....how the heck can I get out of this???"

She went...
They ate...
and ate...
empty plate...
I was right....
She smiled....

I am so the coolest mom.
