I see cupcakes.....still

Yes, believe it, it's me! Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know..it's been forever, and then some. I suppose I could have posted soon, but hey, why not save it for a little while, eh!

It's been a very, very busy time lately;
#1) Baseball/Softball
#2) Track (more to come on this)
#3) Little League
#4) GRADUATION!!!!

As usual, sports play a big role in our household, I'm sure anyone that keeps up with my blog knows this simple fact. Spring events are no exception! I don't think Alex enjoyed his final year of baseball, I don't think I'll go into that at all! I'm not sure if Em really enjoyed softball either. I KNOW Alex didn't enjoy track, however, Emily did :). Em had a great season this year as far as the field events went...she usually placed in the top 3, but usually took the gold! She broke the school record this year in shot put and qualified for State competition!! Since she won gold, she also qualified for the Sunrise Meet of Champions, she came home with a 3rd place win from there! I am so VERY proud of her this year! (well yeah, I'm always proud of her, but, you know what I mean!)

The second of my 5 child_units graduated this past Friday, he was 6th in his class :) Before he left for the commencement, he asked me if I was going to cry...I simply replied, "Probably", what more could I say? When the music started and the first of the Seniors started to walk down the aisle, I smiled at each of them, took a few pics and waited....seeing that he was finally getting his turn to take that long...slow...walk, I got my camera poised and zoomed in....oh wait...the viewer is a little blurry, is it dirty? Ummm, no...that would be my eyes leaking! Yeah...so what...it's my prerogative to cry...OK...so sue me! The ceremony went very well and fairly quickly too! He ended up getting a scholarship too! Yay!

Of course, when there's a graduation, there's a graduation party! Yup, cooking, baking, stressing....it's all familiar territory. The ensuing days, all 2 of them, consisted of baking, baking and more baking. I did some cooking too. Not sure, but I think I ended up making; 12 doz. monster cookies, 6 doz. snickerdoodles, 3 doz. choc. chip, 4 doz. white chip choc. cookies, 6 doz. Oatmeal raisin, and 4 doz. Oatmeal butterscotch. Next on the agenda was cupcakes; Red velvet, banana, double chocolate malted milk, pumpkin, and white w/ raspberry filling. I put my ma to work cleaning strawberries for strawberry shortcake. I think she cleaned 15 lbs. There were other things, but I think you can get a pretty good idea how tired I was by the end of the party! Actually, there's still some boxes in my kitchen that need to be sorted through and put away. *sigh*

2 more days of school and then my job as "Summer activity director" begins. I'm really not sure I'm looking forward to the whining of having "nothing to doooooooooooo", it's not for the lack of suggestions either...hmmm, I guess I'll have to be creative.

If I don't go to the living room, there may be a mutiny, I guess watching "Days of Our Lives" is more important than blogging right now. I suppose I can finish my thoughts another day soon.

Y'all have a creative moment,
Love Ya :)
