A Child After My Own Heart!

The other night, Michael had plans for a night out with his guy friends. I had nothing going on and Kevin and Jen needed to do some Christmas shopping, so it was the perfect night for a sleep-over at Auntie Sarah and Uncle Michael's house!

Sweet Nicholas is 4 and SUCH a good natured kid! We had tossed around the idea of going to a movie (b/c Auntie is itching to see Madagascar 2!). However, when Nicholas arrived, he told me, "Auntie Sarah, I don't want to go to the movie. I want us to make cupcakes!" So it was decided right then and there! An evening together baking! How fun.

Nicholas is getting really good at pouring ingredients into measuring cups, operating the mixer, filling the cups, but, most importantly, he is an excellenent sampler.He noted the buttercream frosting tasted better once we made it green! After the blue and green cupcakes were frosted...
...Oggy and Nicholas ran around the living room approximately 486 times.

Apparently the exercise burned off the sugar and soon they both passed out!Michael was still gone when Nicholas fell asleep. The next morning, Nicholas came tearing into our room to tell me, "Auntie Sarah!!! Michael is home now!! I saw his coat!!!" They were soon up and at 'em, playing Wii and having a ball!

We love you, Nicholas! And we're so glad you like to come play at our house!!
