They look innocent enough...don't they??? Well guess what...they are not!!!! And they are not afraid of me...the crazy eyes and the quietly menacing voice? No effect! Have I lost my touch? Have I lost my credibility? These little girls ran amuck until 2:00am and Cory and I were powerless. So what have we learned? Never have sleepovers! Never more Never more!
Well the early part of the evening was great we stamped canvas bags (thanks Keri for the idea), decorated a matte in a picture frame for Dene, colored a wooden girl, and made jewelry.
We also made ice cream cone cupcakes and the girls decorated them...but the highlight was the trick candles. I told them that you count how many blows it takes to blow out your candle and any more than one means you have that many boyfriends. Thank goodness these girls still think boys are yucky so they were mortified that their candles kept reigniting!
Dene had two favorite parts of her birthday celebration...the first was getting an ipod from Daddy and the second was the Oreo Blast cake from Dairy Queen.Why is it my children prefer store bought cakes and cookies from my home made ones? Are the rest of you guys lying to me? Are store bought ones better than mine? My world has been shaken these last few days...no one is afraid of me and maybe I am not the baker I thought I was.
Well I must go and rethink my reality.
Love you all]

Don't take the cake thing personally. Yes, you are a great baker, but there's something magical about those blizzard cakes. I think they're laced with something addictive. Glad you survived the sleep over. You were brave to attempt it in the first place!
You ARE the baker you think you are...I promise. I remember one year when I was a kid, my sister wanted my mom to make her a cake mix cake...my mother was mortified since she is a "strictly from scratch" cook...and a good cook too, like you. So don't take it too hard! And as for girls up until 2 am, I hope they made it up to you the next day somehow :)
never trust an almost 9 year old....in regards to cake or friends sleeping over.
Go girl! My kind of cake! LOVE IT. Love DQ! Yum! We've decided not to ever do sleepovers and just save ourselves the trouble. :) I'm sure the girls had fun though :)
I was so cute before those beasts attacked me! The cupcake was amazing. They didn't keep us up til 2:00 am. So sorry about them!
