Cupcakes, or How I Gained 10 Lbs Today

This pregnancy I have had a major sweet tooth.  I like me some salty things, but man, the sweets just hit the spot!  Usually our trips to the grocery store end up with donuts, cookies, brownie mix, or ice cream going in the cart.  Today cake mixes were $1 and frosting was on sale as well, so that is what we made.  Yum.  Chocolate fudge cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, and topped with candy corn we got on a whim at Target yesterday. 

I gave Ingrid a little bowl of frosting and some candy corn and let her at it.

Inevitably she just licked the knife and started to eat the cupcake.

A couple did get decorated, though.  This one by her:

This one by me:

Can I just say it one more time--YUM.  I don't know why I even have to take the stupid glucose test in a couple weeks--I eat so much sugar that this baby and I would be in a coma if I were diabetic...

Frosting!

I made sugar cookies yesterday and we frosted them today.  Well, tonight.  After dinner, right before Ingrid's bedtime.  Perhaps not the smartest thing, as the first thing she did was grab a cookie out of the pan and shove it in her mouth.  Then she ran around screaming "cookie! cookie!" and now she's up crying in her bed not going to sleep.

Ah well, the cookies look good...
