Fun da Middle Cupcakes

I've wanted to try the Fun da Middle cupcake mix but haven't until today.  I bought the yellow cupcake mix that has chocolate in the middle.  I really like that it only makes 12.  Of course, after I got home I realized that I didn't have any cupcake liners, so Chris was nice and went to Randall's (the nearest store) to get some.  They really were easy to mix, fill & bake.  I had a can of ivy green cupcake frosting already in the pantry to top them with.

The boys and I had cupcakes after dinner tonight.

 

 



Lost Teeth

About 3 weeks ago, David mentioned that he had 2 teeth that were loose.  We explained that it was normal and that the teeth should fall out on their own soon.  After a week of no falling out, we noticed that there was an adult tooth coming in right behind the 2 loose teeth.  We made an appointment for David to see the dentist and see if they need to be pulled or just left alone.  Daddy took David to the appointment and he did really great!  They did the normal check-up stuff and then decided that the teeth needed to go so that the one coming in would come in straight (we hope!).  David did great (according to Daddy) during the procedure and didn't have any problems with the gas.  He was eating normal foods the next day (soft foods that night) and hasn't had any problems.

 

 



First Day of School

Both boys started school on the same day this year, August 27, 2012.  David started First Grade and Michael started a Pre-K class at a local day care.  David rides the school bus to the day care for After School Care till Mama picks them up while Daddy drops them off in the mornings.

David's 6th Birthday

We celebrated David's birthday with just us at home this year.  Chris took the boys out to breakfast at IHOP (Mama had to be at school for inservices) then to Toys-R-Us to pick out his gift from Grandma Bambi & Grandpa Mel.

Michael's 4th Birthday

We decided to celebrate Michael's birthday simply this year.  We got together with Chris' mom and step-dad at Gatti Town  to celebrate.  We had a cake and the boys got to play in the arcade with Daddy & Grandma after dinner.
