Oh my cute little Evan. . .3 years old already?!!! I can't believe it!!
Aren't summer birthdays the best?! You don't have to think up any creative theme or do much planning. . .just whip out the swimming pool and slip-n-slide, fill up some water balloons, bake some cupcakes and call it good!Carter W., Lizzie, Brett, Evan, Cohen, Braydon, Janessa, Kye, Juliette, Carter H., Haylie. . .and T.J. who wouldn't get in the picture.
I'm on the decline in my creativity with birthday cakes. . .well, maybe I've just got 3 kids under my feet or in my arms all of the time, so awesome train cakes or pirate ship cakes (like I did for Evans 1st and 2nd birthdays) will have to wait until I'm older. Ha! But I think these turned out pretty cute for a minimal effort. A few minutes spent google-ing cupcake ideas and then a quick mental checklist of what I'd already got in my pantry, and wah-lah! Cute little froggy cupcakes. A few crusty marshmallows, some chocolate chips, and red piping. Done. Oh, and if you take the time to COUNT the cupcakes on this tray, you will notice that there are only 18, not your typical 24.
Don't think that I only made 18, oh no. . .I started with 24. I made the full 24 the night before, and let Jared eat one because he's a hottie. I woke up in the morning to find 5 cupcakes gone. . .apparently consumed by this dog:We were dog-sitting my brothers dog Toby, and he enjoyed himself during the night I guess. Had a little chocolate-cupcake party all by himself. I guess he knew that that would be his only chance and he'd better eat some if he wanted any at all! He's a good dog and very obedient. . .but when there's nobody awake to tell him 'no', what's a dog to do?!
They must have been delicious. . .I don't think he could shove it in fast enough!
Oh, and here's Cohen. Kids and band-aids, right?! He had a mosquito bite smack in the middle of his forehead and insisted it needed a band-aid. Awesome. Yep, that's my kid.
Throwing some water-balloons. . .
Blowing out the candles. . .
And here's Baby Will. . .flipping the bird!!
