Cupcake Wars

Somehow last week crawled by. We did cupcake wars at school and that was a lot of work. Janet's classes went first and I went second. I don't know why but for some reason Janet was staying after school until 5-6:00 getting things ready and cleaned up for/after cupcake wars. Luckily I did not have to do that. I came in early to make the frosting and worked the whole class period and was able to get things cleaned up about 45 minutes afterwards. I think I work faster than she does or she's more meticulous? I think she's also not as good at having her students clean up the kitchen after themselves so she ends up doing extra work. The frosting made a lot of dishes that were hard to wash because it had shortening in it and our water doesn't get hot enough to wash it easily. In the end the students did a great job with it and had tons of fun. I'm glad it's over though. Now I need to come up with some hand sewing projects. There's always something. Ha.

On Friday night my friends and I had a girl's night for Lisa's birthday. It was fun but I was so tired. Friday nights are tough for me after the work week. I am just ready for sleepy times.

Scott has been busy as a bee with his gardening...literally. He's been hand pollinating and everything. The trees look so pretty with their flowers. 

I can't think of much else. I have 6 weeks left of school. Let the countdown begin!

Krista bought us all matching jammies. She is the hostess with the mostess.

Beautiful Lisa's beautiful cake.

This was the overall winner. So good!
