How wonderful. It just seems to bring a smile to you face. HUH.
I guess I will be making cupcakes for all the last day snacks from now one My heart soars when I can make kids/people happy with my creations!
I had a lot of smiles this week but the biggest one today was at the Kid's Day Camp.
We served the blue cupcakes and one of the leaders told me of a conversation between two of her kids.
Kid 1 "Wow, these are really good. Do you remember the Panda ones last year?"
Kid 2 "Yeah, and these are even better. I wonder what the cupcake will be next year....bet it is even more awesome!"
Out of the mouths of babes
For years I was bitter that I didn't have children of my own. Instead I get to to spend my time with everyone else's children. It isn't the same in many ways, but in others it is even better!Bringing smiles and happiness to kids is one of life's rewards.

Yes, I know what you mean - I just gained two more "daughters" this week at the kid's camp. They both have two parents but they also both have a lot of challenges. They worked in the kitchen with me and we bonded. Now I am teaching one to cook and the other just wants to "hang out".I am nobody's Mother, but everyone's mother. I got to be a Mom again today, asking the nice young man who bought Shrek's motorcycle if he had a helmet. He rolled his eyes and said, "Ma'am, you sound just like my Mom." I said, "Thank you." and he did have a helmet.

Oh, and on this past Mother's day I was doing my usual brooding about not being one or having one. I got 3 carnations from three different kids, several hugs and a few cards at church and realized my Ma lives in California!
