Our Most Egg-cellent Day!

I felt terribly when I dropped Alexander's Easter cupcakes yesterday. On the floor. On the garage floor! Splat... He made two cupcakes at school and he was so looking forward to eating one when he got home. He was disappointed. He was sad. But I was amazed that he didn't have a tantrum. That he didn't shed a tear. I certainly would have. I wanted to. I felt terribly and told him that we would make some new ones. Tomorrow.

Well, as of Midnight tomorrow became today. And I had a promise to keep. Since both boys were a little sad that Rebecca had a play date and they didn't I told them that I would be their play date and we would have a great day!

We took Rebecca to her friend's house then went out in search of cake mix, frosting, m&ms and other decorating goodies. Since Wendy's was just down the street I took the boys there for lunch. It is Christopher's most favorite place ever. And since I don't let my kids eat fast food much, I decided that today would be the day. What more could he ask for? A day with Mommy and Wendy's and decorating Easter cupcakes? Nothing could be better than that!

After lunch we came home and I sent the boys to the playroom while I baked the cupcakes. Yes, right out of the box. After all, we know the kids will eat the candy and the icing and toss the cake part... so I'm not going to much effort on that part!

I set all the goodies out on the table. I had some m&ms together in a bowl, and the rest were all separated by color. We had the frostings, the sugar sprinkles... everything ready to go. Once the cupcakes were cooked and cooled they were ready to be decorated... Didn't they come out great?
I'm so proud of my boys and I had an equally wonderful day as well. Tomorrow, the cookies!
