Yummy! Tonight was our last small group meeting for our Sunday night small group, so I had another excuse to make Magnolia Bakery cupcakes. With Magnolia Bakery frosting. Yummy! My cupcakes were not frosted with pretty pink frosting though, they were frosted with blue frosting--because I have all boys and no girls. Actually, Caleb would have totally gone with pink frosting. The important thing is they were delicious and they made the house smell so good. Thank you Ann, for introducing me to the Magnolia Bakery cookbook! If I ever get a change to visit New York City I will have to make sure that Magnolia Bakery a required stop.
The other excitement of my day--getting new (used, but new to us) beautiful couches from our friends Scott and Amy. They are beautiful and nice and I am so happy we have them. I feel so blessed! The boys have been absolutely forbidden to come anywhere near them with food, drink, or thoughts of jumping on them. Which is why they immediately grabbed blue frosted cupcakes and headed for the couch. Actually, Michael is really excited about the new couches (he gets that sort of thing from me). This is pretty much how the conversations for the day were:
Michael: Where did our couches go?
Jeff: There in the garage. We're getting new ones.
Jeff: There in the garage. We're getting new ones.
Michael: That's so cool!
Michael runs next door to have my mother come over and look at our couch less living room.
About 30 minutes later, Scott and Sean arrive with the couch and love seat. Michael is very excited. He runs next door to my mom's house yet again, this time to announce the couches have arrived. Jeff leaves to get a haircut and I continue making blue Magnolia Bakery butter cream frosting. Caleb wakes up from his nap and immediately wants me to hold him.

Caleb: Mom, can you hold me?
Me: In a few minutes, I need to finish this frosting.
Michael: Hey Caleb, want to see something cool? We have new couches!
Caleb looks at the couches and is mildly impressed. Evan wakes up from his nap thoroughly grumpy.
Michael: Hey Evan, want to see something that will make you happy? Mom's making cupcakes and we have new couches!
