Pancakes, Cupcakes and Reading

It was another yucky day today...we need some sun.  Brendon and Olivia went to Gymboree this morning.  When I got home they were just starting lunch.  I asked him what she was having and he said that Olivia wanted pancakes for lunch...so pancakes it was.She ate a whole pancake, cheese, a piece of apple, and she tried her first bite of a Samoa Girl Scout cookie.

After lunch we ran to the store to finish Brendon's valentines.  There were so many balloons and flowers in the store and she kept saying, "Look at all the balloons!!" and "Pretty flowers!"

After her nap we started on the cupcakes.  I had to use the mixer which she wasn't the biggest fan of but it is loud! Olivia helped line the cupcake pan with liners.  She loved it.  Then we put them in the over and watched them carefully.  Then she said, "Hot cupcakes!" when they were done.  She ate a good dinner and then ate one whole cupcake.  When she took her first bite of cupcake she said, "Wow!"

Olivia is very excited about Valentine's Day...even though she thinks we are going to the Valentine Dance tomorrow again! So sad to disappoint her...we will have to dance at home!

Wow! Cupcake!
