On this day (pretend it's May 6th) I was preparing for my baby boy to turn FIVE!

Five years old people! How on earth did he get this old this fast?!?! He's tall and lean and has no baby chubs to speak of. And speaking of speaking he practically talks like an adult. His vocabulary surprises me and the questions he asks are crazy! He needs to know how everything works. A quick one sentence explanation will not satisfy his "why".

But I digress...

On this day I was making cake pops for him to brings as a birthday treat to his fabulous preschool. Bakerella taught me.

Yes, I like to pretend fabulous people I admire are actually here teaching me their fabulousness, even though they're only on my computer and t.v..

So they're actually suppose to look like little cupcakes. They don't. I haven't learned that level of fabulousness yet...but I still think they were pretty cute.



See, I didn't understand the whole candy melt thing yet. I melted them in my microwave, but I think they got a little too hot and started to reclumpify. Yes, that's a real word. To me. Then I used the double broiler method and things started to move along.



All done and ready for preschool the next day.


Yum!

Fresh Goodness

I learned to make trifle. I didn't have a trifle bowl at the time so it doesn't exactly look like trifle, but it sure tasted good.

Don't you love my 80's counters? It's the fake butcher block formica look. That's right, we're totally retro around here. When we replace the cabinets we're totally going to salvage it and use it again. That's right. Totally.

Happy Vanentine's Day!

...two and a half months too late. We made totally yummy sugar cookies with this awesome frosting recipe I got from my cousin Kerri. So good!
