Cupcake attempt #1

Last Wednesday Alli and I made cupcakes... tons of cupcakes... for her preschool class to celebrate her birthday.  We mixed chocolate cake batter and yellow cake batter for marbled cupcakes.  We frosted them with homemade frosting, and I made little frosting flowers on them with my new cake-decorating kit.  Three dozen beautiful cupcakes.  She was so excited to take them to school on Thursday.

Well, in the middle of the night Alli got sick.  She threw up five times during the night, so she did not go to school on Thursday.  And we were left with a lot of cupcakes.

Alli sick 1 Alli spent Thursday resting on the couch with a bucket nearby.  She was sad that she missed her cupcake day.

Ruby kept taking snacks to Alli: cornflakes, pretzels, crackers... and Alli piled them up next to her pillow.

Ruby was very attentive to her sick sister.  Fortunately, Ruby remained healthy. 

She walked right in front of the camera as I was taking a picture of Alli.  What a doll.
