More treats and other stuff

Andria likes to take pictures. She doesn't even need a subject. She can take many pictures of random views around the room, the vase of flowers, her stuffed animals or the back of your head. Here is Hanna's hand as she decorates, compliments of Andria. We decided to make some chocolate cupcakes since we haven't made chocolate in a while. One of our friends asked one of my children if we made our cupcakes from a box mix or from scratch. This child didn't know so I will clarify: these recent gourmet cupcakes from the last few months have been from scratch. Previously, we have just used a box mix but now we are branching out and trying new things.

Anyway, I wanted orange flavored frosting on my chocolate cupcakes but Hanna wanted pink hearts. So we made some regular frosting to go with the pink hearts and some orange frosting which I thought was delicious with the chocolate cupcakes.

Here are Hanna's:

Here are mine:

My favorite cupcakes are still the coconut.

This is Sunday lunch prepared by useful teenage daughters. I hope you have some at your house.

Just so you don't think that we only make cupcakes, here are the pumpkin cookies we made this week. I made them because I wanted them but I didn't realize that all my kids like them too. They are really big pigs. Margaret, do you want me to save you some? They have half the fat and are sort of healthy ,) but still delicious.

Here is another one of Andria's pictures:

And a self portrait. She is so fun!
