Baking Cupcakes

Each Spring, there is a Spring Fling festival at Madelnie's and Jonathan's school. Jeremy and I decided this year we would volunteer to help. Jeremy is going to help with set up and clean up, and I volunteered to bake cupcakes for the cupcake walk. I thought it would be a fun activity for Madeline and I to bake this evening - and it was. I am surprised that any of the sprinkles actually made it to the top of the cupcakes as they kept ending up in Madeline's mouth. And several times her finger "accidentally" made it into the icing...notice the mischievous look on her face in the picture.

I am a bit concerned, however, because I think Madeline thinks that we are celebrating her birthday at school tomorrow. Cupcake are apparently the standard birthday party treat. It's not until July, but she keeps talking about how her and her friends in the Champs classroom are going to take a nap and then get up and eat cupcakes tomorrow.
