Circus

We took Jason and Lexie to the circus this past Thursday! I found another good deal via one of the Groupon type sites, and some friends brought their kids too.  It was a really long show, and started at 7pm so we only stayed a little over an hour.  We saw a cool trapeeze act, tigers jumping through fire, some kind- of lame clown acts, and a girl doing tricks while standing on the back of a running horse.  Pretty neat, especially for the kids. 



Cupcakes

Still experimenting with baking.  I made these cupcakes for a Jewelry party that I hosted on Friday.

These are Chocolate banana cake with chocolate ganache and creamcheese buttercream frosting!



I really liked the Butterfinger last time so here they are again!

St Patrick's Day

We celebrated on Thursday because that's when Jason's class celebrated.  At home we had rainbow pancakes, sausage, and green milk for breakfast.  For lunch we had Lucky Charms and fruit.  In school a leprechaun made a big mess in Jason's classroom and the kids cleaned it up.  They also made little hats and had a small party!
