Pinkalicious Cupcakes

Right now, Carlysle's favorite book is called "Pinkalicious". This book goes everywhere with us and we have to read it EVERY night before bed. She knows all the words and if you stop at any point in the book, she will finish the paragraph for you. It's all about a little girl whose Mom decides they should make pink cupcakes since it was raining outside. The little girl eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink. Then she has to eat green food to go back to her normal color.

So the other day I was heading to the grocery store and called Joey to see if he needed anything. He said, "I want to make pink cupcakes with Carlysle this weekend." It was so sweet! So I got the stuff and let Carlysle pick out which toppings she wanted. Joey was so excited about it....of course it was hard not to be with Carlysle's infectious energy and excitement. She couldn't wait and kept asking "Where the cupcakes, Daddy?". We kept explaining to her that we had to make them. When we got started, she really got into it. We had so much fun and the best part was that today was a rainy day....so it was just like her book!





I love these pictures where she's got her hand on her Daddy's hand.....so sweet.
