A Beautiful Mess.....

Well Mr. Mason is turning NINE on Sunday.... don't EVEN let me get started on how sad that is.... I am glad he still likes to cuddle and talk every night.... he still needs me.... yeah.... for another year I hope!!
This is how the whole thing started.... 5 or 6 different colors of batter (2 boxes of white cake mix with food coloring added). I decided not to attempt the purple.... was already a long day as it stood.

Teaspoon the blue on the bottom....

Next goes the green

Yellow...

Orange.... then red....

This round was a bit TOO full.... making for some big ol' cupcakes... but the kids didn't mind. :)

This is a little better.... probably more like it, really....

Awwwww.... the birthday boy licking the spoons... the best part.

Pretty, huh?

Another sugar fiend....

This is what the cupcakes looked like on the inside!

I let the kids decorate and here is what they did:

And so 5 mixing bowls, 5 spoons, a dirty mixer, 4 spatulas and 36 cupcakes later, they made it to school today and were a hit. I hope Chance will get hers tomorrow.... as promised. ;)
