Fathers Day Dirt Cake

I asked Eddie, AKA, the Best Dad in the World, what treat he would like for me to make him on fathers day.  His response was, "something with Oreos.  Yum, Oreos.  So I immediately took to pinterest to find something totally unique and mouth watering, yet not too difficult to prepare with little hands grabbing at me all the while.

I FOUND IT!

This cake hails from the delicious blog of Sweet Charlie and is absolutely AMAZING!

You know that yummy "dirt" pudding?  You know, the chocolate pudding with the bits of Oreo crumbs?  Yeah, the one where they stick the gummy worm in the top, thus allying it "Dirt".  Yeah, that cup- o - goodness is the basis of this cake.  I guess you could call this the adults version of Dirt.  Now we take that dirt idea and add Devils food cake, home made cream cheese frosting and OREO'S!!

This treat received rave reviews from the crew of sugar fiends  kiddos.  "Mom, this isn't good, its amazing".  "Mom, I don;t like this, I LOVE THIS".  The funny goes on and on and on.

Anyway, if you are looking for a unique bit of yummy, easy to make and crowd pleasing goodness, THIS is the cake for you.

Fathers Day

Today is Father's Day and I have to say that I am literally the most lucky wife and mother.  I married a man who is my equal partner in parenting.  He is the daddy of any child's dream.  This guy of mine is the best daddy to his 4 girls and a super hero to his son.

Eddie has been and continues to be a rock in our lives.  He has never missed a a field trip volunteering opportunity.  He attends every game, event, recital and performance.  He grocery shops, school clothes shops, cleans, cooks, does the dishes.  He combs hair and is mastering the french braid.  He wakes the girls to get their day started and puts them to bed at night with individual prayers , hugs and kisses.  He's up at 3 AM changing diapers and feeding babies.  He taxies the kids to all of their events.  Volunteers in class, both church and school.  He has been with me during every delivery, doctor visit, dental appointment and teacher conference.

I have been spoiled beyond my wildest dreams.  This is our normal.  This is our every day.  This is the way we have been able to raise our children.  Hand in hand, side by side.  We both take full responsibility for the wellbeing of our family, our children.  I am the mom and he is the dad, but there is no line of responsibility.  We are in this together.  I love him and am so thankful for this man in my life.
