October Cupcakes!

So here we are in October already!  I can't believe it.  I figure I might as well show off my October cupcakes.  Aren't they cute?  I have a very good friend that is battling breast cancer, so I had to make one "for the cure."  Her diagnosis really kicked my bootie and made me a little more aware of my own mortality.  We should all remember to be grateful for every day we have -- and for our good health.

Next, of course, is my Haunted Halloween cupcake.  I love how the sprinkles make it look so festive.  I am so ready for trick-or-treating this year.  Camden is going to be Bumblebee Transformer and Karina is going to be Cookie Monster.  They are going to have so much fun!  I sure wish I was talented/skilled enough to make my kids costumes -- like my mom did for us all those years ago.  Whatever we wanted to be, she made it.  One year I wanted to be Mac Tonight (you know, the old McDonalds Moon Guy) and she made it.  I'll have to find a picture of that for another post this month.  It was made out of white satin.  Mom - you are amazing!  Camden's first track break starts this Friday and I'm looking forward to a month of no alarm clocks.  Talk about a shock to the system.  The kids have been my alarm clock for 5 years now.  Karina has started singing a lot lately, which makes me optimistic that I could have myself a little singer.  Yeah!  She's been singing "No more monkeys jumping on the bed" and the ABC song.  Sometimes she makes her own stuff up -- another songwriter in the family.  Well, enjoy the cyber snacks (pics of delicious cupcakes) and I'm off to watch Lipstick Jungle!  Love that show!
