Kate and Wills

I have to say, I am pretty excited about this announcement! Royal engagement fever is abound. I for one will be tuned in to watch, just like I did to watch Charles and Diana. I know, I need to get a life. But I just love this stuff!

Ok, it's so much past Halloween that these should be called Jack-o-laterns. They have since been hauled away in the garbage truck, but finally, I am posting these pictures. These are the pumpkins that the girls carved in a very very busy month of October.

Cake Pops

    Sorry it has taken so long to get these up on the blog! Here are the cake pops I made on my birthday. I thought they turned out pretty cute, being my first attempt and all. What's amazing to me is that it is just a crumbled up cake made from a mix plus 1 cup of canned frosting (which I usually can't stand) and it is the perfect proportion to make a little cute ball of cake-- on a stick. And guess what? My fabulous sister gave me Bakerells's new book for my birthday! Now I can make all kinds! I want to try some snowmen for sure!
