Bubbles and Cupcakes!

We had some really nice weather this past week, and so it was imperative to bring out the bubbles!

Naturally, I insist on doing everything myself now.

This is a delicate procedure.

I love bubbles!

You love bubbles too, don't you?

Of course you do!

Bubble-blowing lawnmowers are the coolest ever, especially when they're pink!  Hey, even the deck needs a good trim!

And now, the bubble wand!

Again, Miss Independent.

Look!  The bubbles went up there!

There they go!

I still see them!

For Daddy's birthday, I made him my most favorite treat EVER... CUPCAKES!!!

Step one:  Lay out the cups.

Step two:  Mix it aaaaaaaall up!

Hmm... it sure does smell good.

I'd better make sure it's a-ok for my dad!

Step three:  Fill the cups with batter.


Step four:  Wait for the ding!


Step five:  Frost the cupcakes.

It's very important to taste-test the frosting as you go.

Look!  Daddy's home!!!

Step six:  Hurry up with the sprinkles!

Step seven:  Show off your completed masterpiece!

And last, but definitely not least, step eight:  Enjoy the heavenly result!

Oh, that's right, you can have one too, Daddy!  Happy Birthday!

Delish!

I must admit...

...we feel a teensy bit spoiled.  We spent Mother's Day moving in to our new home in Anacortes.  Granted, the house will need some updating, but the view is pretty much perfect as-is.
