Cannoli Cupcakes

Experimenting can be fun...especially if it yields great results! Today, I debuted cannoli cupcakes in my kitchen. I'm not a big fan of cannoli, but I could quickly become a fan of these!

These 20 were dropped off with a friend. 20 of them still remain in my kitchen. Wonder how long they'll last???

Firsts

School has started. We have a second grader and Jr. K kid this year. Time sure does fly.

I'm not sure where the summer went but in a weeks time we somehow have found ourselves right back where we left off in June. Although, the smiles are brighter, there is anticipation and excitement as we load the car and head off to school. Our Jr. K kid didn't shed one tear or have one sad look as I left him in his class (which is a FEAT!) Our second grader loves to be dropped off at school this year, rather than having Mommy wait with her until the door opens. Our kids are growing up and there seems to be nothing that can stop it!

Pictures that Show Better

My friend Vertigo B told me that I should learn to use my camera to get some really great shots of my cupcakes. So, today I decided to take her advice. What do you think?

And this

Sassy Cupcakes anyone?

The Signature Cupcake

Orange County just got a little sassier. The signature cupcake of The Sassy Cupcake made her debut in my kitchen today. Oh wow is all I can say. The 14 I took to school pick up were devoured by children and adults alike. I heard words like "divine" and "I'm in hog heaven" (she must have been watching The Dukes of Hazzard on CMT this past weekend)
So far, they are my favorite. So much for Lindora. I totally blew it today.

But it was totally worth it.

Rocking Chairs

Today, the rocking chair was moved. Not just moved to another wall or to the other side of the room. It was removed from my boys' room.
I walk into my boys' room and I get weepy. There are no baby things left. No rocking chair, no changing table or bed rails. Instead what's left are my 2 boys, rough housing and rolling all over the floor, laughing and giggling and chasing each other everywhere. I'm left with 100 wooden trains (that thankfully still get played with) and a bag of wooden blocks and a gazillion puzzle pieces. I'm also left with 2 boys who are ROCKING OUT to Rob Biagi

That makes me smile through my weepy no baby left tears.

Cherry Icee Cupcakes

My son requested cupcakes and icees for his birthday party. I indulged and combined the request.

Third Birthday

Happy Birthday to my Little Joshy! I can't believe you're 3 today. What a big little man you've become. We love you!
