Creativity and Cupcakes

As you read this, there is a trip to the grocery store in my very very near future.

For baking supplies.

Because for whatever reason, the Princess and I are in a creative mood today. 

Perhaps it's the sun shining, the breeze blowing the warm wind through the open windows, the sound of the birds chirping, and the sense of spring in the air that has our creative spirits soaring.  Maybe it's that we have watched one too many episodes of Cupcake Wars or Cake Boss recently.  Maybe it's hormones.  Maybe it's a driving need to use up some of the almost 5 dozen eggs sitting in the fridge; complements of The Girls.  Whatever the reason, we have been talking cupcakes all morning and are now ready to get down to baking.

The timing is perfect.  The Man of the House and the Little Man have "man plans" this evening.  (A navy seal-shoot 'em up- testosteroney movie they have been wanting to see)  .  And we have company coming into town this weekend to sample the goods and assure they all get eaten. 

So, we give in to the urge.  We make our plans.   We make our list.  And - we wait for the Little Guy to finish eating so we can go to the store.
