How to Make Puppy Cupcakes

Tomorrow little bit turns 5. Wow!

So off to school go puppy cupcakes. It's the last year I can make them myself, as they have a rule here in Lewisville ISD about that stuff.

I made the basic chocolate variety, buttercream icing piped on by bag, then the fun started.

Gingersnaps (used because they are MY favorite and there will be left overs :-) )cut in half are the ears, chocolate chips are the eyes and a Reeses baking chip (tiny reeses cups) are the nose. The tongues are a tiny slice of a red gummy worm.

Dog-gone fun!

Lemon Truck Just Dumped on Me

You know the saying, when life gives you lemons??? Today the lemon truck dropped by...

Kaylee's first day of PreK 5, and I don't work out of the house on Tuesday/Thursday- so my first day at home alone since I had children. BIZARRE. I can do some work for dh, then a secret shop, then pick Kaylee up and life is good, right.

HOLD IT MISTER, not so fast.

Computer crash. BIG CRASH.
Go to do secret shop, they can only take CASH today.
Go to Cash machine, my card's not working.
Finally get cash, do shop-- already time to pick up Kaylee. Boy that went fast!

Come home, now computer is working, but no time!

Humility, it's a tough game...

Tonight we were playing Monopoly Junior, and my youngest (who for some reason always wins this game!) was making comments like "Ha Ha! I win again! I'm so glad I won again!"

Hmmmm.... how to teach a little humility.

Kaylee is at that (and I use this term VERY loosely) tender age. The age where you want them to be building self confidence, to have pride in their accomplishments.

We've tried modeling, explaining the RIGHT things to say, and many other ideas... but she just isn't on the humility train.
I suppose time will come, but man... it's a tough ride.

kaylee's a poser..

Never content to have sis steal her spotlight, Kaylee begs for a photo
