More Cake Pops

There was a bake sale at my daycare. And Mom was determined to win it. Now keep in mind that there was no actual official competition, but Mom was still determined.

So, she pulled out the Cake Pops book and spent an evening making these cute little cupcake ice cream cones.
They were by far the cutest thing at the bake sale, the first item to sell out and the only item to almost start a fight. Mom takes that as a sign of her complete domination of the Boulton Avenue bake sale!
Watch out if you ever ask her to bake anything for you!

The Kitchen Aid

In the new year Lola and I started baking. We love it and the more and more we do it, the more tools I decide that we need. I have a list and have been slowly purchasing the baking equipment necessities. By the time I manage to amass all of these items we are going to have to build a bigger kitchen. The one piece of baking equipment that I was determined would greatly and irrefutably transform our baking experience was the Kitchen Aid. And it arrived on my birthday!
Lola is very excited about it and has named it Madagascar.

It is unbelievable how great it is, I really can't explain it.
Lola and I cranked out a few treats this weekend and are looking forward to having the most popular cookies at the upcoming daycare bake sale.

Thanks Darcy, I (we) love it!

Gardening

The sunshine has finally arrived and we were so excited to get back into our garden. The monsoon like weather that we have been experiencing was great for our gardens, everything is green and lush and completely over grown.
This weekend we managed to pull two yard waste bags of weeds.
Lola is by far the cutest gardener in the family!
