baby cappy

Last week I sewed a cappy for Noah Jamie. We have often wind here, so I like to put his toque on, but then he is dazzled by the sun... so I put both together in a cappy :) I used the plastic of an older cappy, just cut it smaler.

 This pic isn't really clear, but here you can see it from one side...

yummy worms in dirt

I wanted to bake something for Lukas's class, but I didn't till yesterday. I also didn't have a spezial idea, so I would make just cupcakes... but a few days ago I saw these fancy cupcakes in a blog and my boys loved them, so I had to try :)
Yummy worms in dirt

 a couple more of them together looks even more real :D

 They were easy to make... I just baked some cupcakes, spread chocolate whipping cream on them, rolled in brownie crumbles and put the worms in :)

And not only my kids were thrilled of them, Lukas's class and JJ's minigo/preschool (they got some too, JJ was so consistent in asking and we had some left) liked to eat the worms in dirt too :D

Lukas's 6th Birthday

My big boy turned 6 on friday. Wow, how time flies!!! I'm a mommy for 6 years now!!!
Here Lukas in the morning opening gifts from germany!!! Thank you sooo much!!!

 We had rice-casserol with apples, raisins and cinnemon... his favorite menu :)

 I asked him which cake he would like for his birthday, and he wanted strawberrycake... here it is.

 Aren't they cute?! :D

 Noah Jamie tried sponge cake the first time and he love it :)... my boy :D

 For Saturday we planed a Lego-Birthdayparty. Lukas helped me with the preparations and did the invitations and the name tags. I'm so proud of him!

 His crown

 Mini-cupcakes

 ... and the Lego cake :)

 At the party... all kids who were invited came and so we had 12 kids here (with ours). They had fun to play... of course Legos!!! and ate too less... we also had raspberry cupcakes and a legocake with m&m's... so the parents had to help eating :)

 the goodiebags...

And the party was over...
Lukas was very happy with his presents, he liked the Legos the most... of course ;) Thank you very much for making my boy smile!!!

Of course I had to make some more baking for Easter :) ... not really much, because we have to eat all...

The kids loved the decorated easter-cookies!!!

 JJ asked for Smilyface cookies ;)

 Lukas helped me and sprinkled the coloured sugar on the cookies.

 Braided Milkbread, typical for Easter in Germany, so I had to make some ;) The big one we brought for the breakfast at church...

 and the small one for us.

 Bunny-cupcakes for the kids...

 ... and a bunny-cake for the parents ;) We brought it to Baumungs, we were there on Eastersunday!

Lollipops

A few week ago I won Whirlpop lollopops at Kim's kandy kreations You can see the post here. I could choose from a few lollipops, but the boys definitly wanted the sesame street ones ;)

We wanted to share the lollipops with their friends, and so it was perfect, that we watched them sunday afternoon... so we made some pics, better I say, Nick made some pics :D
For Noah Jamie we have one left too ;) but I forgot to make a pic...

Ready...

 ... go!!! :D

Thanks Kim for the lollipops again, they really enjoyed them ;)

Snow and melted snowman cookies

Today we have to much new snow :( We got stuck in the snow on the parkinglot on our way to church...
This was today morning!!! But now it is melting again!!! :)

Yesterday I made some melted snowman cookies... I know for some areas it's to late, but not for us ;)

I have to say, they tured out to sweet... but I love this idea, but I don't know on which blog I saw them, they were on a few...
