May!!

At the beginning of May there was a Teacher Appreciation Week. Since Kaitlyn is at school now, I made something for the teachers at her school.

What you need

~empty baby food jars (need to be glass and take the label off)
~cake mix
~frosting
~decorative paper
~glue
~icing decorating tube/gun (not necessary but VERY helpful!)

make the cake mix and pour batter into each jar filing 1/4 the way full. I used my icing decorating tube to fill the jars and it was SO much easier than trying to pour just a little in each jar!

Bake. Time depends on how full the jars are. I ended up with 30 jars, so I cooked it shorter than the cupcake recipe and then checked it tell it was done.

Set the cupcake jars aside and let cool. Make Frosting. You'll need two containers or to double your recipe. Once the jars are cool swirl the frosting on top. Again it's really helpful to have a icing gun for this step.

Next cut strips in your paper and glue them on. When I washed the baby food jars it was really hard to get the glue all the way off the outside of the jar. It ended up being fine cause it held on th new labels that much better.

Here's the final. If I had had more time I would have embellished the labels more.



The teachers seemed to enjoy them, and I had fun makeing them!

Here's my cute baby boys sleeping in random places.

Evan



Logan



Logan loves to push the girls around in the doll strollers we have. Well one of them the kids can sit in just fine, the other one...



Poor kid, we were laughing so hard.

Evan isn't crawling yet, but he butt scoots, which is the cutest thing ever! He has started scooting on his belly too. He doesn't like it as much cause he gets stuck to frequently!
