Cupcakes

The theme of our week centered around Cupcakes. In all sorts of shapes and sizes, metaphorical and real...the word cupcake was used and it was ohhh so sweet.

For Christmas Avery was given this amazing gift from her Grandma and Grandpa Fowble. It is a little kids cookbook that comes with 6 silicone cups in which you make many delightful little dishes. The kids picked out Banana Chocolate Chip muffins so we went to work.

Bennett had a great time mixing and mashing. He did a fantastic job smashing and smooshing as he called it.

Breezy loved the colored cups and kept repeating that the red one belongs to her.

These three little cupcakes decided to dress up and came downstairs to surprise me. The girls were given these traditional Indian clothes from our friends Sree and Sameer and Bennett was just clowning around.

This past week, Avery celebrated her half birthday at school. Since her birthday is in the summertime, her preschool celebrates it at the half so she was very excited about this. They say that if you want to bring a treat you can. We went to the store and I told her that she got to pick out the treat for her school friends. I wheeled her by the cupcakes and she said yeah, lets get those. So we packed them into the cart. I had a few more items to get so we tooled around the store for a bit. In the cold foods section we came across single gelatin cups which were apparently so appealing that she told me to get rid of the cupcakes...no wait, we can eat the cupcakes and give the kids at school the jello! So, for her 1/2 birthday, she brought Jello.

We were the topping on this cupcake. Our new chair...bought straight off of craigslist...with an interesting story that goes along with it. It fit perfectly in the spot that it was intended for and will unofficially be our new story time chair.

Bria calls it our "spinning couch." Which is so cute...but troublesome since the #1 rule is: No spinning the chair around. Try telling that to three kids who are super excited about this awesome new spinning couch!

Avery was invited to her dance friend, Keira's birthday party and it had a princess theme. I have never been to such a well thought out, creative, fantastic party. The adults were dressed in gowns with tiara's and glitter makeup, the kitchen was filled with pink balloon's, and each girl had their own place with a custom purse, gloves to be bedazzled, tiara and wand. It was truly a magical scene.

The four dance friends: Kamryn, Sophia, Avery and Keira. Strike a pose you darling princesses!
