The Cupcakes are Made

Vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting, each topped with a single Hershey's Kiss. Check. Tomorrow is Riley's ninth birthday. It is also the last day of school. She's bringing the cupcakes to celebrate.

She read a book when she was four about a little girl who was having a birthday the next day. In the story, as the little girl slept, her mom left a small present on her pillow, and when she opened her eyes the morning of her birthday, there it was.

Riley was so charmed by this story, and she fully expects the pillow treatment each year. Thank God she somehow manages to mention it in passing just before her birthday, because I definitely would forget. Today she brought it up at breakfast. She hopes her pillow present is a t-shirt from her favorite store, Justice, and she hopes she'll get to wear it to school tomorrow for her party.

So I'm off to Justice.

See ya when I see ya.

Anyone want a cupcake?

LOL! I like a girl who knows what she wants. I think that is a really cute idea, too. Liek the easter bunny! only a birthday bunny!

I'd love a cupcake, thanks.

You know what I think is so cool? That Justice is her favorite store.

Has enough been made that her favorite store is called JUSTICE? And, tell me you're getting her the one that says "love." Please.

After you guys went to bed tonight, I hopped into the kitchen an ate all of the cupcakes. All of them!!

Mwah-ha-ha.

And they were so...so very good. Oh my they were tasty.

But...because that wasn't very nice of me to do that (even though I do have a medically diagnosed sweet-tooth; yes, the cupcakes were medicinal)...I went ahead and baked up an all new batch that resembled the earlier one perfectly. Problem solved. Unless I eat the new batch as well. No, no. Reilly is the sweetest kiddo ever, she deserves some happy sweets and pillowy gifts.

Good luck with the birthday Fest-events. I hope she'll feel stronger, wiser, more herself than ever before. Bottom Line: get that cupcake. MMMmm.
