Cupcake Challenge

We had some snow last week along with ice which makes things VERY bad in TX.

Connor finally decided to try out the roller skates Aunt Lydia and Uncle Matt sent. He carries them around more than he wears them, but it's a start.

When we did our family pictures, Dave bribed the boys into cooperating by telling them he'd get donuts afterwards. Glad the pictures were already done!

Evan loves donuts! A few days later he went to the counter where the donuts had been sitting and pointed, obviously wanting more donuts!

I made some pumpkin muffins to try and trick the boys into eating something healthy. So we went to the store and found some fun candy toppers for them.

Evan had an Elmo topper for his muffin but he used it to dip in the frosting and lick it off. It kind of disintegrated in his hand.

Apple, pumpkin & chocolate chip muffin with cream cheese frosting...yummy!

Since the pumpkin muffins were a success I thought I'd attempt red velvet & cheesecake cupcakes for Connor's Valentine's party at school...didn't work out so well. AND, attempt number 2 only looked slightly better than this!

Finally I switched recipes to a little less complicated one and got one that looked better...but it needs some tweaking because it didn't have much taste...therefore I am now in a cupcake challenge and will work on this until I get it to come out right!

On another note, I had a good visit with my OB this week and feel like we have a good plan for when we're ready to try again. It's nice to feel like you're getting the care you think you should. I am going to switch to the other maternal fetal medicine specialist in the practice that I go to because I met a woman on FB that has the same issues as I do and sees the other dr so we feel that this other dr may have more experience. Keeping our fingers crossed!

Connor is still addicted to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Evan has started requesting Backyardigans. Last night Evan dug out a Backyardigan dvd, pointed to the tv, said "Pablo" and signed please! He can definitely get his point across most times!
