I went to our local cupcakery (The Cake Cottage) after seeing there posting on facebook. They were selling green velvet cupcakes in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day. This was my Friday night delight and I also had my first glass of wine. The wine was left over from my baby shower… I just had half a glass and I could feel the effects.
On Saturday while Julian and Dad napped (we had a rough night the night before) I worked on my sister-in-law Alex’s sweet sixteen gift. We wanted to give her cash so she could get what she wanted but I wanted to give it to her in a fun way. I took some two-dollar bills, one-dollar bills, silver dollars, random change, and even pesos and put them inside balloons. I put the balloons inside a large box and wrapped the box. Inside her card I put a pin… she looked so confused when opening her card. She asked me if it was for quilting and if there was a quilt in the box. After opening the box she realized what that pin was for. She really liked the surprise and the gift. She started laughing when she found the balloon of pesos.
The tissue pom-pom came from this site:
On Sunday I made my Mom's Oatmeal Cookies
I love this recipe because the cookies come out moist and delicious every time. I DO NOT like crunchy cookies they are my pet peeve. When I make this recipe I split the dough in half. This time I did butterscotch chips in one half and dried blueberries and white chocolate chips in the other half.
Julian is still not napping unless being held so while I baked he was in the Ergo. After sampling my cookies he ended up having lots of crumbs in his hair. I feel bad because I always get food on him but then I think if he would sleep in his bed or anywhere else he would not get food on him...
