We ♡ Their Teachers

The girls have some really fantastic teachers. Teachers who work hard and care about their students. So, we made up a little something for them to show our appreciation. The cupcake in a jar idea has been all over the blog world. So, here is our twist on it.

Bake the cupcakes

Photobucket
Place sprinkles in the bottom of the jars (16 oz. jars)

Photobucket
Slice 2 cupcakes in half, place the bottom of one in jar, frost, add more sprinkles, top with cupcake top. Repeat.

Photobucket
Add a ribbon around the jar

Photobucket
Add a spoon and tie it up!

Photobucket
Create a label with the cupcake info


Photobucket
Create a label and attach it to the top---done!

Photobucket
Frost the remaining cupcakes and sprinkle on mini pastel chips. Feed to the girls.

Happy Monday

We spent the weekend dog sitting. Lily loved it. Shelly tolerated it. The little dog, Sadie, is just adorable and so well behaved. She was fun to have around and we all missed her when her owners picked her up last night.





The pool assembly is moving along. The retaining wall is complete and the electrician has finished his part of the set up. John took out the old deck stairs and installed a new set of stairs. He also sledgehammered the front concrete sidewalk near our steps to the front porch. John did such a great job and I know it was extremely hard work.


During all of the activities outside of our house, I get a bit stressed. So my answer to this stress...bake cupcakes! Here are the cupcakes with the Magnolia Bakery frosting. John thought these looked like Smurfs.




Looks like all we did this weekend is sleep...au contraire:
And finally, here is my little ray of sunshine on a Monday morning:
