the hair that broke the camel's back


Mitchell just had to have a haricut! This pic marks the day I finally broke down and gave the boys haircuts! These are some of the before and afters.




Happy Birthday Mama Lou!

The boys knew it was my mom's birthday and they kept asking when her party was. I had seen these cupcakes on Martha Stewart the other day and was just waiting for the occasion to make them! To tell the truth, the cake was from a mix and just the frosting and frosting tecnique came from Martha. They were lemon cakes with strawberry lemonade frosting. Actually, Martha's cake and icing were strawberry. I only had a lemon cake mix. I skipped the strawberry puree in the icing, as suggested by Martha(who really has that on hand everyday?), and added coolaid powder to the frosting instead. So really, maybe just the idea of cupcakes came from Martha now that I think of it!
