Happy Tax Day from Lena Kate + recipe

Lena Kate hopes these pics in her tax exemption outfit brighten your day. You had to know she would have one of these since BOTH of her parents are CPA's. My cousin Casey got this outfit for Lena Kate on their vacation to the Outer Banks. Yes, I agree, if you are thinking she needs a bow to make it more girly, but truthfully, she doesn't have any yet that she can wear now! I know...what kind of mother am I? One that knows LK's father would think they were silly:) I think I'm going to get a couple this week anyway for some girly fun. You can let the boys ruin all the fun!




The thought of taxes makes me want to eat cake...well I ALWAYS want to eat cake.
I made this for Easter and it was YUUUUMMMMMMYYYYY
Butterfinger Cake
(also borrowed from Kelly's Korner Recipes )
Yellow Cake Mix (Duncan Hines is the best)
1 Jar Caramel topping
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed Milk
3-4 Butterfinger Bars
1 Tub coolwhip (I used a 12 oz tub)
Bake Cake mix as directed on box. While baking mix caramel and Eagle Brand together. When cake is still hot, poke holes in top of cake and pour mixture all over cake and into the holes. Crush the Butterfingers (I used 3 and thought it was plenty) and sprinkle over the cake. Let cool completely and then top with Coolwhip. Refrigerate and enjoy! I served this cake 2 days after baking and think it really is better after a few days so the cake is good and moist from the topping. This is a great one to make ahead! Go ahead, bake it TODAY. You won't be sorry, your hips might...mine ARE! I had to get rid of the rest of it yesterday so I wouldn't eat anymore. Unfortunately Missy found the trashcan with all the cake and other old leftovers I emptied into it. Poor dog was SOOO bloated yesterday evening. She has been in and out ever since. I think it did a number on her stomach. If I ate at least 6-8 pieces of cake, plus ground beef, and asparagus my stomach would revolt too. I'm glad there wasn't anything too toxic to dogs in the trash, although I think she is the exception to the rule with what dogs should eat. She once ate a whole bag of tootsie rolls and was just a little full...ha! We have a wooden spoon that we shove in the door to keep her from getting into the pantry and trash, but I guess I didn't put it back before I went upstairs to run. I'm just glad she kept the mess in the kitchen and wasn't too sick. I'd like to say it would keep her from doing it again...but who and I kidding..this dog LIVES for food.

Cute. By they way...Presley's worn a bow everyday of the last 6 months and at first all I heard was "That bow is bigger than her head, blah blah blah"...now the man won't let her leave the house without a bow in. He thinks she's missing something without it. It's really quite cute.
