Cupcakes

On Tuesday night M helped me make my birthday treats for Day Camp. I picked out my own cupcake box at the store. I mixed it with M's help. Then M put the cupcakes in the oven for me. We made one pan plain and the other pan with mini white chocolate chips in them.

I had to taste test them to see if they were good enough to share with my friends.

Once M took them out of the pans, I did all the decorating. I spread the frosting on....

and sprinkled the sugar crystals.

Don't they look yummy?

I was very proud of them and super excited to take them to Day Camp to share with all my friends.

Day Camp

While M is at work all day, I get to spend my days at YMCA Day Camp. I love it. I get to be outside all morning long and play with my friends (back inside after picnic lunch for naps). M knows I have tons of fun, but I get tired and hungry by the evening. I usually finish my sack lunch off in the car on the way home, scarf down supper and fall asleep fast at bedtime.We have snacks and sack lunches outside. We sing lots of songs with fun actions first thing in the morning.

We make fun things and even get to paint our faces.

The best part about DC is that every Thursday we get to ride ponies (every Friday is swimming!)

The first time M told me that we were riding the ponies--the baby horses. That afternoon I corrected her and told her, "Not babies M, big horses!" M just laughed. She realized when you're 3, even the ponies look big!

I try not to have all the fun. C enjoys her time at daycare, too. This summer Miss L invites animals to come and visit her once a month. First they learn about the animal and then they get to pet it.

The first animal was Dora, the Lamb. DC hadn't started yet for me, so I got to have fun with that one.

Look, Ma, no hands!!! Even C is trying her hand at pony riding.

Quick MN trip

This past weekend, we took a quick trip to FF. We stayed with Uncle S and Aunt S. It was fun to see Cousin L's new house. We had lots of fun playing together.Aunt M even came up to join in the fun. We wanted to go to the lake on Saturday but it was too rainy and cold. So instead we hung out at the house, played some games and took a walk downtown to Summerfest.

On Sunday after church, we went and saw M's aunt. Most of M's cousins were also there. We then went and had supper with another aunt and uncle. Even though it was a trip planned on short notice, we saw everybody we wanted to see. Here's Aunt M and C relaxing after the long day. C and I did really well on our car trip. 14 hours each way and we only stopped twice on the way up and 3 times on the way home! M couldn't have asked for better travelers.

Random fun

Since the tattoo on my arm wore off, I got a new tattoo from P&G. I thought I looked pretty good with it.We are ready for summer to get here.

Here we are getting rid of all that summer dirt.

Then we have to help D get rid of the dirt off his bikes.

While M&D worked on the bikes, I played in the swimming pool and C practiced her sitting up.

Look Ma, no hands!!

M wasn't sure if she was practicing sitting, or practicing rolling over!!

Friends Reunion

Over Memorial Day weekend, D had a friends reunion. A lot of people from his days in Montana came and we all hung out at P&G's house for the weekend. Nothing exciting happened, but it was fun just playing outside and talking.

Sunday morning, the younger generations came to our house to have breakfast, while the older generation stayed at P&G so we could all have more intimate conversations.

Here's the whole group of us. Almost 40 people for 3 days of memories from the Camp Cherith and Sidney days.
