Mark's First Game & our Treats

Mark was so excited to go to his first game. And after a little confusion in trying to find the right playing field we made it. Abbie and Spencer set up their little chairs and soon Ken showed up after work. Grandma also came which Mark was especially glad for. At the end of the games I love watching the boys give each other fives and give a cheer for the other team. It makes me feel good when we can be happy for everyone's successes and not just our own.
Jessie's got to be goalie for part of her second game. Although it was a little boring because they other team only came kind of close once.
Abbie and Spencer entertained themselves throwing Abbie's elephant back and forth behind us while we cheered for Jessie's team. It's so fun to watch the kids playing together (until Mark tried to snatch the elephant away). We were surprised to see Ken when we got home from the game. He was supposed to be teaching his accounting class at UVSC but do to a little mix-up he his class was changed from Tuesdays and Thursdays to Mondays and Wednesdays (which is what we were hoping for in the first place).
Today there was a birthday at Ken's work and I've been dying for an excuse to make these cupcakes ever since I saw them. They were super fun and Abbie and Spencer were my super helpers.
They shook the up the sugar with a few drops of food coloring in it and then after I cut a marshmallows into five slices they dipped the sticky sides in the sugar. They turned out cute enough and so I wouldn't eat all the leftovers myself while Spencer took a nap Abbie helped me deliver three little plates of cupcakes to some friends.
