These Cupcakes are a Dream

A couple of my college kids are home for the weekend and one of them said he had gone over two weeks without one of my cupcakes and he didn't know if he was going to last much longer. So, what's a substitute mother to do except make him some? These were fun to make and actually taste just like a dreamsicle, complete with tiny bit of ice cream (white icing) coming out at the base of the popsicle stick. 

On a completely related, but not, note I am part of a team this morning that will be icing 528 cupcakes for our pastor's 25th anniversary reception tomorrow night. I have no idea how that is going to play out. I'm just hoping I don't need carpal tunnel surgery next week! Pictures will follow!

School - Day #17

This Day #17 School Picture is brought to you by Abigail's 15th birthday and See You at The Pole, which explains Abigail holding a cupcake, in the dark and Rebecca impatiently in the driver's seat because "get in the car, we're going to be late to pray at school!"

Homecoming 2012

Rebecca had a great senior homecoming week at school. Of course, I documented it in pictures. After all, what's a senior year without your mother running around behind you snapping those "lasts!"

School - Day #7

For fun I'm going to be taking random shots of the girls before school on different days in the school year. (Note: Fun for me. Not them. In case you hadn't figured that out.) This is Day #7. Don't they look excited about school? For them, Day #7 actually falls in the 3rd week of school and probably first round of tests, so I'd say the new has actually worn off the old school year already.

Still, when I scrapbook all these before school photos on the page I have designed in my mind, it's going to be fantastic! Of course, at the rate I'm going that will be sometime around the year 2016. Better go draw out that page now. To be sure I won't remember it then. Does this mean I'm already planning to forget something I haven't had the chance to remember? Wait...I'm confused. What was I going to write down again?

Perfectly Pink

These cupcakes were made for a sweet friend who just had surgery. Aren't they the most perfect shade of pink you've ever seen? Maybe it's my love for baby lotion that makes me love this shade, but oh...perfection.
