100 cupcakes

I can't believe I didn't take a picture...I have been such a loser lately. I had my camera with me today and didn't take any pictures...none of the cupcakes, baby shower or the birthday party. My friend Mandi has 2 boys who share a birthday so she combines their party and has a huge one. She rented the Dormont Borough building and invited 75 kids. Jonece and Dene were included because they are good friends with the boys sister...instead of buying a gift I offered to make the cupcakes! How hard could it be? Well next time I am buying a gift!!! It took me forever to bake 100 cupcakes...and ofcourse I couldn't make them all the same. Why do I have to make everything harder than it has to be? I had to make special cupcakes for the grown ups and some white with white frosting and some white with chocolate frosting...some chocolate with white frosting and some chocolate with chocolate frosting...some funfetti...not to mention some with sprinkles some with none. The grownup ones had a mascapone and chocolate chip filling with strawberrys on top.
Well I had a fun time at the shower...even though I had to leave early to make it to the birthday party!
The birthday party was a zoo! All those little boys running around getting all sweaty. It smelled pretty ripe after only an hour. They had a dodge ball tournament with the kids against the grown ups and I sat it out (they may have been little 10 and 8 year old boys but they scared me) Cory was in his glory!!! What is it in men that they have to win? You should have seen these grown men pegging off those little kids with balls flying at record speeds. The kids way out numbered the grown ups but I only saw little kids crying with huge red patches on their faces and bodies! It was like they were out for blood!
I am glad I am a woman...and glad I can let the kids win and my whole world doesn't crash around me!
Sorry for the lapse in posting...I will take some pictures soon!

lol. your words painted such a funny picture of the men vs boys. (that's a bit redundant isn't it?) and the
100 cupcakes...what a great scrapbook page that would have made!

Hey michele, thanks for keeping your eyes open for the stroller! I am actually hoping to use it as a prop for taking newborn pics. It will be decorative too, but I have ulterior motives. :)
