Daba Daba

Lucas and I took a walk to the mall (maybe to buy some cupcake related items...more on that later...) and to Tim Hortons (obviously....I don't even go out anymore without going there....How do moms who don't drink coffee survive?) this morning.

This has become a regular event, and since Lucas is such a good shopper most of the time, I treat him to a Timbit on our way home. Terry found out about this little habit and asked me if I buy Lucas a Timbit every time I stop at Tim Hortons. Pffftttt not every time Terry that would be ridiculous.....it's more like every second time. Whatever, it's more like 1/2 a Timbit anyway because he never eats the whole thing. Terry was concerned I am pushing my Tims habit onto Lucas. Nothing to worry about Terry, we met a baby today who must spend waaay more time there than we do. This mom and her kid (who was 2 at the most) came up behind me at the till and all the kid said the whole time they were there is 'daba daba'. DOUBLE DOUBLE!!! I asked his mom if that's what he was saying and sure enough that is what she orders all the time so he picked it up. Hilarious.....Now I just have to teach Lucas '1/2 hot chocolate'.

Stopped at the park on the way home....figured the swings were a much better treat for Lucas than a Timbit. One of the last days for the swings I think. Video taken with my phone....unbelievable that you can take videos like that with a phone. Please ignore my baby voice/noises.




Dudes I am obsessed with cupcakes. I have cupcake insomnia. I think about cupcake ideas before I go to bed. A friend of mine asked me if I would like to make cupcakes for her daughter's first birthday, my first paying cupcake job! So now I constantly think of things to do for her cupcakes, and what I am going to do for Lucas' birthday cupcakes, and I still want to make maple fall cupcakes but I am running out of fall-time, and then Christmas is coming up so I want to make some winter/Christmas ones......you can see how this might get out of control and keep me up at night.

I made my own fondant the other night. I have never worked with fondant before so I thought I would give it a try, but it is so expensive to buy. It turned out great, wasn't that hard really, and I am so excited to make fondant tops for my cupcakes and little things to put on them.

I ordered cupcake liners and other awesome things from etsy yesterday. I had to use an extreme amount of self control to not order everything I saw from this cupcake shop..... or this could turn into a semi-expensive hobby. I think Terry would rather me develop hobbies that make money rather than cost money....just a guess.
