Spring Cupcakes

We celebrated Easter with my family last weekend and I made the dessert. I had decided I wanted to make pina colada cupcakes and came across several recipes. Just before I was about to make my final decision one of my favorite sites for weight watchers recipe posted a recipe and I went with that because it was more diet friendly. Now I admit I didn't use the same frosting recipe and that made it less diet friendly but I wanted a more coconutty flavor.

Now I couldn't just stop with making the cupcakes. I got out my cricut and made cupcake wrappers and toppers!

Hangin' with my PEEPs

I Crack Myself Up

Egg-cellent!

It just wouldn't be Easter if we didn't color some eggs. It also wouldn't be an easter project if I didn't take too many pictures. We did the traditional bright colored ones and then tried some tie-dye ones. The tie-dye ones looked cool but were really messy and the girls just did one each before deciding they would really rather do the bright colors. The faces really add character don't you think?

I Want an Easter Egg

Over the weekend we colored eggs. It was messy but that is half the fun!

Happy Easter...a little late.

There have been some grumblings from the peanut gallery about me not updating my blog, so here is an update. We are actually in the second week of either one or both of the girls being sick and Dom and I are starting to feel a little sniffly, so in case I get sick hopefully this will tide you over...

Last week Becca had the stomach flu and missed the whole week of school. The doctor has had some concerns about her weight, especially since she has been really sick twice within a month, so he ran some blood tests just to make sure there wasn't any other reason that she might be losing weight and all the results came back normal. Now I just have to fatten her up! Not easy since she is such a picky eater!

Right about the time that Becca was starting to feel better Kenzie developed a horrible cough and stuffy nose. I brought her to the doctor on Tuesday where the doctor confirmed that yes she did have a bad cold, but it was making her wheeze and we are now doing nebulizer treatments 3-4 times a day to help her breath (and sleep) easier.

In the midst of all the sickness we did manage to celebrate St. Patricks day with a visit from a little leprechaun who caused some mischief, like turning the toilet water green and TPing the bathroom.

We managed to color eggs a few days before Easter and spent Easter Sunday in Gloucester with Nonna and Nonno. It was nice to see bare ground as opposed to our house where we still have several feet of snow. These past few days we have been blessed with the temperature close to 50. I have been opening all the windows and trying to get some fresh air into the house. The temps are supposed to cool off again tonight and we are due to get several inches of snow. This is of course spring in New England.
