Sweets: BabyCakes Saved the Day!

BabyCakes Mini Cupcake Maker

Everyone that has kids that arent scheduled to do an extensive amount of summer activities will feel my pain on this one. Kids need CONSTANT stimulation. If not you will go crazy and they will too.

That being said, I have been trying to keep the little people active by playing outside, reading, playing with the dog, watching The Price is Right (dont judge me) ect. Everything has gone pretty smoothly until we had a rainy day.

This little people had me on the verge of locking them in the hallway and ignoring them til daddy came home from work. Ok well not really locking them in the hall but I was considering taking a 5 hour shower and letting the house fall down around us! While having such thoughts I remembered that Id recently (3weeks ago) purchased this mini cupcake maker ($6) from my favorite local discount store (Dirt Cheap) and we hadnt used it yet.

I tossed the kids into the car and stopped at the corner grocery and bought a box of cake mix and icing. When we got back to the house this is what we did...

 Micah mixed the batter.

 I preheated and filled the cupcake maker.

 Corrin Iced ...

 And sprinkled the Cupcakes

We all ate the cupcakes!

This entire process took 2 hours but time flew by. Once we finished baking and decorating, the kiddos were tired and ready for a nap :)

I learned my lesson: Always be prepared for a rainy day and Keep the little people busy!!!

Question for you all:

What do you do to keep the kids in your life busy/entertained?

In the Driveway!!!!
