I Love Williams-Sonoma!

Flipping through the W-S catalog last night, I saw a RABBIT cake pan. :shock:

And have you told Kimmifunn about this new discovery? ;-)

Wouldn't it be funny if she got losts of bunny -themed gifts for Easter?

Well, Mermaid and PK305 influenced me to spend $29 plus about $10 shipping on this sandcastle cake mold this morning. It will be worth it, though. The kids will love it and we'll get lots of use out of it.

My youngest daughter earned an "architectural" award in 5th grade because she designed a "flip flop" house out of clay in school. I'm sure her clay flip flop house was noticed for its creativity (most of the houses were more traditional -- you know, four walls and a roof). Mostly, I thought it was quite sweet that our days in SoWal and our beach cottage has influenced her so much. Part of my long-term plan, of course, is for the cottages and beach to become such a part of the kids lives that they'll come back again and again as adults with their own families (tradition, tradition, tradition). So, if this $39 cake helps make that dream come true, it's $39 well spent! I'll be making sand castle cakes for decades to come. And, when I'm gone, the kids will fight over who gets the sentimental sandcastle cake pan... Egads, maybe I need to buy another one... Someone stop me...

Paula (and everyone else), you'll get a kick out of this article from a website called "high maintenance mom." It's all about the sandcastle cake pan. Very funny!

That's very funny, Mermaid. I have a friend who said that it's important to be an imperfect parent so that your kids won't have an unreachable standard to live up to when they grow up.

Good, then I haven't failed my son.

Good article!! I actually gave one of these pans to my dearest friend, who is truly June Cleaver!!! She is one of the few people I know who would really really use it and get excited about it too!!

Yes, it's pretty certain that my kids won't have any standards that are difficult to reach. They probably have already reached them.:shock:

I tell my kids they're already nicer, smarter, and better looking than I ever was! (they love to hear that)
