YUM

St. Patrick's Day...

We usually don't do a whole lot for this day, except dress in green.

I guess I need to step it up, all kinds of people are like telling their kids that a leprechaun snuck in and left stuff all over. We have Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and now we need a leprechaun!? I can't keep up with all these roles. Let's face it, some people are just better moms than others. But who am I kidding? I'll probably try to remember to be a leprechaun next year, I'll need a reminder call though.

So, I got up not thinking much of the day, but Tink was in a whole other stratosphere. She wanted to be head to toe in green, she wanted a shamrock painted on her face, she wanted gold coins from a leprechaun (dropped the ball there huh). Also, I told her I would make cupcakes for her class St. Patrick's Day party, so those had to be done in rainbows for the leprechauns too.

Smalls needed a shamrock. I had one too, but we don't need a picture of that. Smalls was also very helpful in the frosting creating...what a gal.

Kermit could have cared less. He didn't even wear green-that's right I said it, KERMIT didn't wear green, so I got to pinch him a whole bunch when he got home from school...that'll teach him.

Here are the finished cupcakes! They were so yummy.

And, check out their rainbow-ness.

I better just test one and see...

I think the leprechauns would approve.

Do you leave something out for leprechauns? Or do they just take what they want?

Seriously.

School Carnival

So, last week was the school carnival, and we had a lot to do for it. We missed last year's, so I wanted to try to make up for it. My friend Jil convinced me last year that the carnival is a big deal in a kid's life, so I gotta do it!

We made a cake, and I gotta tell you, I had a dang good time making my cake, I got all kinds of new decorating toys and frosted up this little gem. I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the lady who won my cake walking down the hall at the school, I wanted to just take it and run. And let's face it, that woulda been kind of funny, and good for me, cuz then I have my cake back and everyone's happy...okay, so just I'm happy.

I didn't take her/my cake away-for the record.

Then, we decorated pop bottles for a pop walk, not unlike the cake walk.

This one is London's.

And this one is Ethan's.

Tink and I had a dang good time doing all the games and getting lots of treats and prizes. She did the Tootsie Roll, which cracked me up, she got lots of candy from that. She did bumper cars and musical chairs, and boxetball, and bean bag toss, and the lollipop tree and pretty much every stinking game they had to offer. I didn't take the camera with me so I missed all that great stuff, what a bummer of a mom huh.

As you can see, we did go get a face painting.

She is probably the cutest puppy anyone ever did see. One guy said to her, "What a cute kitty you are!"

She looked at the guy like he was some kind of idiot, and just said, "Yeah, only I'm actually a puppy."

It was a fun night. I didn't get any pictures at all of Kermit, he went off with his friends, and then got concerned that he couldn't find me, so he ran home twice looking for me. I won't get into that story, except for that kid owes me five bucks!

Jar of Hearts...

So, we've all been sick around here, I think things are on the up and up as there is less vomit and I have sanitized the whole world! So, I thought I would quickly tell a good story.

There is this new whiney kinda trendy song called "Jar of Hearts" I'm sure if you're radio station is like ours, they play it over and over and over and over....

Tink and I were in the car waiting for her bus to come, and this particular song comes on (again). As soon as Tink hears the chorus, she asks me, "Why is she singing about a jar of farts?"

They really should rethink those lyrics.

Love, Me
