"catty" :)

My child adores living things.
I am convinced he is going to grow up to be a successful scientist or zoologist. :)
He makes friends with the smallest of bugs and animals.
Enter in "Catty" the caterpillar.
Andrew found him on the petunias that we brought home,
and spent a good deal of time taking care of Catty and chatting with him.

I love that he takes such good care of little beings. :)
And I love summertime, when we can be outside,
exploring and playing all day long.
xo!

sweet bugs!

These are what I aspire to make for Andrew's "bug cupcakes" for his birthday party this weekend. But alas, the Williams Sonoma cupcake pan is from 2007 and I can no longer buy it. Boo!
... and to tell you the truth, I don't know if I would even want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a cupcake pan I will most likely use once. :)
So problem solved....
I am baking yummy chocolate cupcakes...

...topped with green-tinted coconut "grass" and a brightly colored plastic bug! I think they will turn out adorable!

Now back to my "to-do's" for the day...
1. More party planning & errands!
2. Kindergarten registration papers that are due in tomorrow (why must I fill out a huge stack of papers for a five year old?! ugh!)
3. Lunch! I'm starving!! I'm thinking Panera or Subway???? Oh yummmm. :)

Hope you are all enjoying a fantastic Tuesday! xo!
