Cake Walk -- Cupcake Pops!

Patrick's preschool is having there annual carnival today! I had volunteered to make treats for the cake walk. I was wondering what I could make that would be a mess by the time I delievered it to school. I always am disappointed when the frosting gets all over--gross. I searched the internet for "creative cupcakes" and came across the most amazing lady, "Bakerella". She make incredible "cake pops". Thank you, Bakerella! Anyway, I kind took the easy way, I made mini cupcakes and then dipped them in the chocolate melts! This made packaging easy and best of all no frosting mess! I think that they turned out really cute! I package them in packages of six like we where instructed to do. I wrapped each individual one and put the 6 in a take-out container with a little shredded paper! My kids loved them. Now, will they do well at the cake walk. They were fun to make!

Ciara Trip to the ER

Ciara jumped off her little dolly bed and landed face first on the hardwood floor. She never tried to catch her fall. I actually thought it was a lot worse because there was blood everywhere. I decided to take her to the ER not knowing if they would stitch her lip or not. She had put three teeth through her bottom lip. Dr. decided not to stitch the lip because she would probably chew the stitches out before we got home. Not to mention it sounded horrible. They would have to put her in a pillow case and tie her tight. I am so happy that she did not have to get stitches! Poor baby girl!
*****4 days later: her lip is healing great! Much faster than I expect! Not that it slowed her down any****
