The Stand-off

I know there is a lot of Ella on here lately but she is just at that age

where she's full of surprises. Today, the surprise was that not

only did this girl inherit my big, brown eyes - she also inherited my stubbornness.

Like, BIG TIME.

In the midst of baking for my school's bake sale I am baby sitting my sister's

kids while she runs the actual daytime part of the sale.

Ella decides to throw a chair to the floor and try to appear tough in front of the cousins.

Um, no, that doesn't work for me. I tell her to please pick up the chair.

To which she replies, "No, make Carrie do it."

I asked nicely several times.

Girlfriend, held her ground- so I put her in the corner for a timeout until she picked it up.

I went to ice cupcakes and this is what I came back to.

As of right now, the chair is still there and
little Miss Stubborn is sitting next to it with her arms crossed.

I'm definitely in for it.

On the bright side, my cupcakes turned out AMAZING!

Happy Friday!!
