The Cupcake Caper

The other night, before I sat down to update the family blog and Sarah's blog, I sat Sarah in her high chair for a little snack of fruit stars a few feet away. So, I updated, and turned around, and there she was with a container of pink cupcakes that she somehow managed to pick up off the hutch (don't ask me how, I have no idea), took the cover off, and was shoveling pink frosting from the remaining half dozen cupcakes into her little face as fast as possible. Well, I had a choice, laugh or be mad, so I laughed. Hard. Then I did the reasonable thing and got my camera to take pictures. All the while, Sarah was looking up at me and laughing, then digging into more cupcake. What a little nut!

The Art of the Tantrum

Miss Sarah is only fifteen months old, and already she has been picking up on the lovely skills required for throwing a tantrum, namely throwing herself backward onto the floor and screeching. Actually, she has spent the last two days testing out her shreaking voice. Needless to say, we are very glad that we have ibuprofen in the house. She is also developing a very stubborn personality. This morning she stood up on our couch and I told her to sit down (she does know what that means). She turned and gave me a mean look and turned back. I told her to sit down again, and she (attempted to) crossed her little arms and gave a little shreak. I am in such big trouble!

Not so Super Bowl

Hey all, even though the Pats lost (gave away) the game to the Giants, we did have a good little party at our house and Ms. Sarah had herself a grand time playing with her cousins Jazzie and Kenny. Those of us who had Pats gear were dressed to the nines and did enjoy each other and some of the very funny commercials. And we got some very cute photos, which I am posting for fun. Better luck next year I guess.
