Cupcake Nana Cousin Camp--Summer 2016

-
Nana Cousin Camp this week
had a cupcake theme.
For dinner we ate
 delicious Marco's Pizza
(David told his mama that Nana always
cooks the best food for Nana Camp--Do
I have him fooled or what?)
Then the cupcake decorating
started in earnest.

Caleb's creation
The eyeball decorations were
a huge hit.

Cora was VERY focused on
her decorating and went
heavy on the sprinkles

Aaron was the first to eat
his decorated cupcake.

Let's show off our handiwork.

Speaking of handiwork, I tried to make
egg free cupcakes since Cora
has egg allergies.
This is how they turned out.
High altitude baking is NOT my friend.
So, I next resorted
to a good old-fashioned
cake mix and Cora's mama said
a little egg wouldn't hurt her.
Whew!

As you can tell,
Nana didn't just fall off the turnip
truck.  When using sprinkles
and lots of frosting,
you do the decorating outside on
the deck.

You might remember Anna Kate
from previous year's Cousin Camps.
Her family lived right next door until
last summer when they moved
to Denver.
They are back in Colorado Springs,
although unfortunately
not right next door,
so Anna Kate joined us.
We love that girl--
and the whole family.

Caleb

David

Cora



As you can tell from David's
smile, cupcake decorating
was a big hit!

New Walking Shoes

-

I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

-
Image
OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...
