Fun With Friends

Last week my friend Ree needed

me to watch her kids while she went to the dentist.

Of course I said, "YES!!" (I love her kiddos and so

do my kiddos)

I thought it would be lots of fun

to make some cupcakes and

frosting and let the kids

decorate them any way they wanted.

They picked out the colors that they wanted

for their frosting, and then they went to work.K. used lots of blue, it's his current favorite color.

Sprinkles are lots of fun on cupcakes. Here J. was

making a sprinkle and frosting creation!

My sweet Doodles loves to bake

and decorate. Just like her mommy.

Cupcake making is serious business.

Some of the finished cupcakes. The kids

were all so proud of their work.

What's better than decorating a cupcake?

Eating it!

Doodles, enjoying her creation!

K. ate his before I could get

a picture of all the frosting.

His favorite color is yellow, so I'm sure

it was a big yellow blob of frosting.

J. enjoying her cupcake, not her picture.

How can you not love Ree's kids.

They're so adorable.

We had so much fun together. One thing that I love about

homeschooling, is that it provides the freedom to spend

this time with my kids. Because they spent their early

years in foster care, they missed out on just

being kids. I'm always happy to be able to add to

their "kid" experiences. We're hoping to have another visit from

our friends soon. Thanks for spending the day with us!
