Cupcake Day- August 18

CUPCAKES...............yum!
I have to tell you what I'm doing tomorrow for this VERY special day.  My children are going to wake up to have cupcakes, yes, cupcakes, for breakfast.  No, I didn't get to make any today, but I found the next best thing.  Sugar Rush, a cupcakery in Olathe, Kansas.  It is located at 135th & Blackbob for you locals. 

They have some of the most unique cupcakes I have seen, and a lot of them in stock.  How many times have you gone to a cupcakery to only have 2 -3 flavors to choose from?  This cute little bakery has over 31 flavors~!  It's the new Baskin Robbins.

These are cherry limeade, chocolate chip cookie dough, and plain white.  But, some of my favorites are chocolate raspberry, carrot cake, mint chocolate chip, and RED VELVET with cream cheese icing.

They even have nutella, root beer float, lemon and snickerdoodle, and check out that apple pie on the bottom left!

I guess I'll serve a side of fruit and some milk, too, but what a fun memory to make for the kids.  They have never had cake, let alone cupcakes for breakfast!  I can't wait:)

Teddy Bear Picnic July 10th

Teddy Bears at the Beach.......

The kids got very creative with these fun teddy graham, beach inspired cupcakes.

They cut fruit roll-ups to make swimming suits, beach rings, beach towels, and more. 

They even added these fun little umbrellas for shade.  they used colored sugar for the water and crushed graham crackers for sand.

Our favorite bear was a Gap teddy bear my son Jake received 11 1/2 years ago when he was born.  He loved that bear.  When he was old enough to talk we asked him what he wanted to name his bear.  He told us he wanted to name him, "Jakey Bear".  We nicknamed him J.B., and it stuck.  As he grew older, J.B. sounded much more age appropriate than "Jakey Bear". 

These days, J.B. is tucked away in a box in my son's closet.  But I have to admit that every once in a while, when I'm putting laundry away, or tidying up Jake's room, I sneak a peak of days gone by, and give old "Jakey Bear" a squeeze.

So get those teddy bears out and create some memories with your kids, because before you know it time will have slipped by.
