Praises of a Wife and Mommy

Paxton's Corner Coop Where cupcakes and ice cream collide!  :)  I Scream you scream we all scream for... cupcakes!!!  Yep, that's right we did NOT eat ice cream we had cupcakes!   However, this new place was doing July in January and they had icee cupcakes and ice cream sundae cupcakes!   I had the sundae and I did enjoy it.  I tasted a little frosting from the icee and wow that was super sugary but yummy too!  This was about a 35 minute drive for us to get to but it was worth it and we had some fun! 

I love how happy toddlers can get from something so simple, like a cupcake.   :)  We made some tasty Valentine Cupcakes this week and when I mentioned snack and cupcakes they were so wiggly in their seats.  They may have only eaten the frosting off their cupcakes but what adorable smiles and fun excitement these two boys showed me.  :) 

There is only so many things you can squeeze into a grandparent visit, but we made the most of each day!  My daughter had such a blast making cupcakes with her grandpa.  The first day he was here she picked out several of her "Pinkalicous" stories for him to read and by the end of reading and talking they made big plans to create their own cupcake masterpieces!   LOOK how beautiful they are, and they tasty yummy too! 

I think every day for a month my daughter was asking if we could make pink and purple cupcakes.   Since I have been watching what I eat I have tried to prolong it.  Well, I decided to go ahead and make them so she could bring a fun snack to AWANA.  At the dollar store we had found these very cute cupcake liners and hearts to put on top of each cupcake.  After we had mixed the batter up we separated it into two different bowls and put in some pink and purple food coloring.     Here they were out of the oven.  They look yummy before putting frosting on them.   Frosted and decorated!  :)  What the inside of the cupcake looks like... would be cool to have a heart for Valentines day but I am a newbie at this.  :)  So have you made any yummy treats lately??
