Hamburger Cupcakes

I made these for our church picnic a few weeks ago. They were fun to make and cute. I got the idea from Bakerella's site. Here's the link. She also has a posting of making hamburger cake pops which are just too darling! I will say not many of these cupcakes got eaten at the picnic so keep that in mind if you are thinking of making them. I made the little "fries" too, shown in the last photo here.

The pool is open!

I took the kids swimming at our local public pool the day it opened Memorial Day weekend. I love this pool. There are no bells and whistles for sure but there's something nostalgic about these old city pools. For one thing, it's cheap, only 3 bucks for the swimmers (it was 2 when we first moved here) and I didn't have to pay to watch. It's close to our house. And the little kiddie pools are contained within a fence so I could just sit near the edge and watch. They even have a lifeguard at the kiddie pools. There are much nicer pools in the area that we also like to visit during the summer but this one, Juniper Hills, being over 50 years old, is sort of special.

Cake and Cards from the Kids!

Last week for my birthday the kids made me this fun cake and home made cards when they were at Martha and Wesley's. It was so sweet!

Meeting Ronald

We went to our local McD's the other night for the kids to see Ronald. He did a fabulous job and was so nice and patient to the kids. Guess he has to be! The kids got a big kick out of his little show.
