Apple Cake Pops

They sounded adorable from the site www.bakerella.com , but not so easy and I really wasn't a fan of how they tasted. I may have to tweak the recipe a bit next time. Yes, next time. Rarely do I make something that I don't like and leave it. I need to try things a couple times to either perfect it or give it up.

I was making these for the last day of Gavin's Preschool on Tuesday for the Mommy's parent class. Needless to say, after I made some and tried one, I ran to Target and picked up some mini cupcakes instead. They were a big hit. I don't think these would have been.

End of the school year already?

I can't believe we are 3 1/2 weeks away from summer break. This year has flown by. My sweet little Brooklyn is going to be a 2nd grader. That seems so old to me. She has learned so much this year and has blown away our expectations of what she can do. She is a fabulous speller. Aces her spelling tests every week, reads a couple chapter books a week, and really enjoys math. She is a little Mia and Brian combined! We are so proud of her and her accomplishments this year.

Not only are we 3 1/2 weeks from the last day of school, but also until baby #3 arrives. It can't come soon enough (mommy says). I had to start end of school thank yous and projects a while ago, so I'm so thankful for my helpful blogs that give me great ideas for gifts. I've posted the Teacher Appreciation Gifts for 2010 and End of the School Year 2010 in my "Crafts" tab above. Check them out!
