Easter cupcakes

                                                                                          

Blank canvas - cupcakes with choc frosting

Chocolate sprinkles make a great "nest"

Eggs anyone? I think these were Whoppers in springy colors.

Easter egg baskets are ready to gobble up by the kiddos at daycare :)

Cheers, mom!

What better to down a snack than some wine?

And just in case you were wondering, it is not wine - just sparkling wine - lol.

Dance starts again...

Dance started again a couple of weeks ago. Annika was so excited - she thought it was time to go to the "big" stage on the first day - lol. She was practicing her wave when everyone clapped ;) Its amazing what a difference 3 months makes - now A gets ready by herself to go to dance.

Thankfully for mom and dad, no new outfit. But a proud mommy has to brag about her cutie pie. Here's a pic - all ready to go :)

Funny things...

Its been a while since I blogged and before I forget (yet again) let me put these down for the record...

1. Every time the microwave buzzer goes off, my almost 4 yo thinks that her time out is done!!!

2. I am afraid to give the kiddo any gum (yet). So I give her Starburst softchews and she thinks that is gum - lol.

3. My daughter wanted to go see the lobsters at the meat counter yesterday and I didn't have time. So I told her that the lobsters were taking a nap and that we'd see them next time when they'll be awake. She bought that!

Happy Valentine's Day

Last week our daycare was closed since Chris was on vacation to Disney World. What a week to be out - we actually got caught up on our v-day projects ;)

We started by making some favors for the kiddos at daycare. In my earlier post I'd mentioned that nothing like a sugar rush! But at less than 75 cents, it was a no brainer. Not the mention a lot less work for me (the non-creative!). Here there are...

Ofcourse, the teachers Valentine had to be different. So we did that (the how-to is in the previous post). But here is the end product...

My little cake decorator at work and the finished product :) (Please note the sprinkles - heart shaped and in nice Springy colors!)

And then we made a card for daddy...

Annika sticking her tongue out, as usual!

And then a more nicer pose ;) - my little actress!

Card (close-up)

Today her daycare has a V-day party, so she is wearing red pants, black shirt with a sparkly heart and socks with hearts. In our hurry to leave this morning, I forgot to take a pic and was promptly "informed" by missy that mom, its ok. We'll take a pic in the evening!

Hope your Valentine's day was as fun as mine :)
