Yes, it's easier to buy costumes. Yes, every year I say that next year I'm not going to bother. But, really? How can anything be cuter and more satisfying than knowing I made this!

If there is one thing 6-year-olds are good at....

...it's questions.

Lucy: I need lunch money
Me: I know, I already gave it to Christian to turn in for you.
Lucy: Mommy, why do I need lunch money?
Me: Because nothing is free, we have to pay to eat.
Lucy: Mommy, how do you get money?
Me: Well, I go to work everyday and they give me money.
Lucy: Why do they give you money?
Me: Because I work!
Lucy: And, Mommy....
Me: Yes??
Lucy: Why do I have fingers?

No doubt that Lucy is the star of this show...but don't miss Christian's "adjustment" as he walks into the scene.


Nutella and poo

There was a blog that I used to love to read because she always had the coolest crafty stuff. Then, about 6 months ago, she suddenly got on a gardening kick and I never went back.

I promise, my baking is just a phase...not really a new hobby. Plus, I keep having occasions that require sweets.

First, I had a going away party for my good friend, Mary. These are Nutella cupcakes. The cupcakes themselves were pretty good...though I prefer my Nutella straight out of the jar, on a spoon...a really really big spoon!


Actually, I did incorporate a little bit of crafty into this one as I made the cake stand. Mom and I had a garage sale earlier that morning and she had a styrofoam cone she was going to sell. I stole and glued paper to it. Then I hot glued it in between 2 plates I had laying around. Fun? Yes?


Tomorrow, Graham has a Halloweenie potluck at work and he needed something gross to take. The only option was kitty litter...

...complete with tootsie roll poo.

I've made it before for Halloween and it was a big hit. However, last time I went so far as to serve it in a brand new kitty litter box with a brand new pooper scooper. However, since I spent the entire evening reassuring everyone that neither the box nor the scooper had ever been used, I thought this time Pyrex was the way to go!
