So not Susie!



Ok, I know I don't have a reputation for being Susie Homemaker, but aren't these some yummy looking cupcakes? I spent a couple hours baking cupcakes for my church cakewalk. We have a Fall Fling tomorrow and something just came over me last sunday and I wanted to bake something.

Well, Nick just thought this was hilarious. Being as I hardly ever cook. When I told him that I was going to wal*mart to go buy stuff for the cupcakes he asked me if I was just gonna buy some ready made cupcakes and put them in a home container and claim that I made them. Of course, I told him no, I was actually gonna bake them. He then started laughing. The rest of the conversation went like this:

"Hey, I've baked a cake before and it was really good" "Yeah, but that was the second time, remember the first one?"

(the first one was bad, I tried to make a two layer cake and both layers came out of the oven looking really fluffy and good, however when they cooled off they looked like two really thick pancakes and tasted like stirafoam)

"Yeah, but the cake mix was old and probably bad which is why it came out bad, but the second one was pretty good, the only problem was I put to much icing between the layers that the top layer was starting to slide off." "Well, your 1-1, and you can always buy cupcakes if they don't turn out right."

Such a supportive husband huh? Well, Cadence and I taste tested my cupcakes and so far I'm batting 100%. I hope they'll be a big hit at the cakewalk. I'm planning my next baking project(hmm maybe thanksgiving), maybe dinner tomorrow night.

1st Trick or Treat

Isn't She the cutest kitty in the world!

Cadence had a ball going trick or treating for the first time. Although the bag might not have been the best choice since she couldn't figure out how to hold it open for the candy. But she still managed to get a full bag. After about 30 min she kinda got sidetracked and just wanted to wander around the neighborhood and also into the peoples houses. I was glad I went with some friends otherwise I would have had my hands full with her and Cole. He did come but I couldn't find him a costume so he wore a bright orange tigger sleeper. They had fun. Nick had to work so I told him that next year he gets to take them.
