M&M's: September 2008

I recently bought a mini cupcake pan and have had soooooo much fun cutting down different recipes for cupcakes. I like to make between 8-12 mini cupcakes and frostings. Just perfect for me and the girls. One night when Sydney probably should have been going to bed, I let her stay up and make coconut cream cheese cupcakes!
They didn't last too long. Plus since they are so little, you can have more (at least that's my philosophy)! I have also made some chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream...those never got a photo op. because we ate them too fast!
One day after school (but before dance, which is why Sydney is in her leotard) I peeked in Sydney's room and she informed me she was "playing school". She was reading to all the stuffed animals--Go Dog Go. But I heard her in there earlier counting with them and practicing phonograms!
This probably should have gone with the last post, under Sophie's obsessions. This is the funniest thing and I really wish I knew what was going on in her head... She likes to weigh the soaps. Everytime she can sneak into the bathroom or if I'm in there getting ready, she comes in to weigh all the little boxes of soap. Here she is getting them out of the drawer.
Then she carefully walks over to the scale and places them one by one, on top. I think it is the funniest thing. Then I'll put them away and she will get them all back out again and put them back on the scale. Hey whatever entertains her!
