Cupcakes and Commentary

Enjoy some pumpkins! Make candy corn bark that turns out deliciously…instead of snack mix, as mine did. And your mini cupcakes enjoy dressing up as something as fun as super A’s costume… Himself. Because all Super A wanted to be this year was Super A.

From all of us and A, who wakes up from every nap and asks if Granna is coming today.

So two weeks ago when A was right in the middle of his ear infection that we had started treating, but before we knew we were going to have to start new antibiotics, he and I were spending quite a bit of time at home. I found these pictures on my Ipod the other day [...]

Close to the last day of each month at A’s preschool they dress up in the color they learned that month. Today was Orange Day. A was not so excited about wearing the little orange and brown plaid shirt I had for him to wear (he thought it was a jacket, and he is revolting [...]

I cannot believe A is three! Despite having to go on a new round of antibiotics the night before his party, A’s birthday party turned out great, and we had a good time celebrating with the family! Up first, pin the eye on the monster… Then, presents…because A could NOT wait any longer. A’s shirt [...]
