I was up at 8 a.m. on Mother's Day slicing sour apple gummies in half to make little froggy cupcakes for Maddie to take to school for her birthday tomorrow. Using the American can of frosting that my mother-in-law had to fight for (she put it in her carry on luggage without realizing it counted as a "liquid". When the security guard told her she would have to take it, Maja said, "You can't have it! It's for my grandaughter's birthday!" Guess they figured a terrorist wouldn't have used that excuse?)
Anyway, after coloring the frosting blue, icing 24 chocolate cupcakes and cutting 24 gummies in half, I got Maddie to put the gummies on the cupcakes, I added white frosting for the eyes and she placed mini-chocolate chips in the whites. Let's hear it for Family Fun.com. Stay tuned for the cake that looks like a hot dog and french fries for actual birthday party next Saturday. Maja hauled over a box of Twinkies for that one!
I really miss my friends at Community Bakery!
Maddie's teacher put together a book of what all the kids in her class love about their moms. Maddie's said, "My mom is called Anne. She is thirty seven years old. She likes to read. My mom makes books with me. I love her because she helps me go to bed."
My favorite was the kid who wrote this about his mom: My moms eyes are blue and her hair is blonde. When she pulls her hair up, under the blond hair is brown hair.
Nice.
