Valentine CupCakes!

Valentine's day went pretty good, especially when it started on Monday because Kendall was so excited to give me my present...Yes he got me a wonderful 3 hour spa treatment! I am WAY excited to use it, but i want to wait for the perfect time!! :) Maybe a great little spring sprucing up for myself? We will see. Anyway, the kids got wonderful gifts, they got 6 new books from their Grandma Gail, teaching opposites to the kids, we gave those to them yesterday and they played with them for some time. Kendall and I bought them a pair of new pajamas each, real nice fleece, and warm. To add to the festivities of Valentines Day, we decided to bake cupcakes for the kids to give out to some friends and family around town. The first round of sprinkles resulted in a real tired Layla meltdown (Em has it on video, it was some meltdown). But after that miss hap and a good long nap, things went a lot more smoothly the second time around! Here are a few pictures of the cupcake ordeal...i have a few videos, still deciding if i should post one or not.
Here is Layla concentrating hard to get her sprinkles on the cupcake...as you can see not very many are on the cupcake compared to the table...
Aidan kept missing the table completely, i think he enjoyed the shaker more than what came out of the shaker. He still did a wonderful job, i mean 4 dozen cupcakes to sprinkle, they became pros.
Ooops, we turn our backs for a second to swap a cupcake to be sprinkled and Aidan has dug into one! Oh well, a small set back we let them eat it and get all messy.
Afterward the kids figured out that the sprinkles stick to their hands and they can lick them off...yes this is when the REAL mess began! They had colorfully dyed hands and mouth!
Here is Layla trying to shake off some of the sprinkles stuck on her hand, notice the frosting on her nose? That is from the poor cupcake that didn't make it past the sprinkling hehe :)
