This week is a wonky schedule with shift, drill coverage and other OT. The kids got out of school last week and I’m having a tough time figuring out what day of the week it is. lol Not used to hubby working 5 days a week and I can’t keep track if he’s coming home for dinner or it’s a shift day. Crazy week.
Daughter and I were watching Cupcake Wars and of course it brings cupcake cravings. One of the cupcake shops in district had a fire this week and cupcakes have been on my mind ever since. lol Cupcakes rock! Well darn it if my daughter didn’t go bake some. Then she made her own powdered sugar and decorated them. My house wreaks of vanilla cake and frosting. EVIL!
Luckily she asked if we could take some to Dad. OF COURSE WE CAN! Awesome, we’ll drop more than half of them off and let them eat all the calories. Some of them were at drill all day so they can afford it. I, on the other hand, can not have them in my house. I’m thankful we have someplace to drop off her baked goods to share. She loves to bake and I stopped baking years ago. The problem with baking is the eating it all.
I started this post above and hadn’t even gotten up to look at the cupcakes yet. Remember folks, my 14 year old did these completely on her own. I didn’t know before posting that she’d gotten her cake decorating stuff out and made them so fancy. WOW, no wonder why she wants to take them to the station. She knows everyone will rave about them. Smart girl! lol They didn’t take her long to do either.
Dad’s pretty good at keeping out of sweets if he wants to, so I’m not worried about him being “cranky” that we’re dropping them off. He’s not even at the station since they have to clean up the multi-company drill. I’m taking the chicken way out and leaving them in his truck. This is not the food we are supposed to be promoting with this new health stuff that’s going to start soon. Cupcakes are portion controlled though…except we’re dropping off 12 cupcakes and only 5 guys are working. tee-hee-hee
