sunflowers

I made sunflower cupcakes for my teaching assistant's b-day yesterday. They were relatively easy and were pretty quick to make. Next time I'll get the real Wilton food coloring so the frosting is greener and I forgot to get the candies for the leaves. These are the things that I am learning as I go! They were much appreciated anyway! :) I enjoy making them, it's very therapeutic for me....

So Luke is on the mend from a bug he caught over the weekend, I'm assuming when he went to the Boston Aquarium with his dad. The exhibit must have been "Cooties Under the Sea". :)
I always know when he's feeling better when he starts teasing his mom! :) (Can't imagine that he got that from me or anything!) ;)

This is the only way that I can seem to get a pic of Mr. Big Boy lately, candid shots when he has no idea I'm snapping it...of course those pics suck, but what can ya do?? So I measured him the other day and he is now 5'4" ! Ugh! Gee, that's ONLY 2 inches in 6 months!! I need to stop feeding him or something...only 4 more inches til he catches up with me!! Oye, my little boy...where'd he go??? :(
