Cupcakes and Airplanes

Jaidyn has been bugging me all week to bake something with her and you all know how much I loooovvvveeee to bake. So tonight I dug out the only box of cake mix I had...Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Lemon. Not my first choice as I would rather have something with chocolate in it. I measured and the girls poured and stirred. Of course we had to jazz it up a little and add pink sprinkles to make the muffins pinkalicious. Daddy will be surprised tonight when he gets home from work and has this setting out for a midnight snack. (Wes, if you eat anything crunchy, Jaidyn cracked and put in the eggs).

Jaidyn and Addy only ate the tops of their muffins. Maybe I should have mixed sprinkles in the entire mix.

Yesterday we spent the day at Papa JR's and Mama LaLa's house. Jaidyn loved getting to spend some time with her cousins. When we got there, Haven had colored a picture for both Jaidyn and Addy and even made this airplane for our upcoming family member. She wrote USA and PHILIPPINES on each side of it. The best part...when you open it up she has our entire family "flying back from the Philippines". I love that all of us have blond (yellow) hair. :) Won't she be surprised? Pretty thoughtful and inquisitive for a Kindergartner.

That airplane is so sweet!!! I suddenly love lemon cupcakes. They are my favorite (with cream cheese frosting) since this summer when a friend made them. Maybe I'll have to go get a mix soon...

MMMM, Cream cheese frosing! I think I could go for that on chocolate cupcakes. The Lemon ones are good, but they aren't something I crave. I guess that is a good thing. :)

Well I've been trying to cut back on the baked goods but after seeing your pictures, I suddenly have a major craving for cupcakes. I am awful and sometimes only make a few cupcakes and then eat the rest of the batter - uncooked! Do the girls enjoy licking out the bowl and licking off the beaters? This is something that we always did growing up.

Renee-
I agree, there is something about cupcakes. Yummy!

I definitely licked the batter when I was young, but now all I can think of is Salomenella because of the eggs and usually pass on giving the spoons/spatula's to the girls. Poor girls, they are so missing out. :)
