What's Been Going On...

This weekend was the baby shower of a good friend. One of the hostesses made the awesome diaper cake seen here, and three of us got together and made cupcakes. I think they turned out really cute with all the different textures (coconut, different swirl types, sprinkles, chocolate covered cherries and chocolate drizzle). I'm excited that we made the white chocolate covered cherries! I've been wanting to make them for a long time, and they turned out so cute, and tasty! We served yellow and chocolate cupcakes with banana slush punch. I think the mom-to-be was pleased!


Last Sunday we had LG at our house, and special friend, Jasmine the dog, came to visit. She'd never been around a swimming pool before, and after less than ten seconds in the backyard, she fell in the pool. She swam to the edge and we pulled her out. Later that night she squeezed through a hole smaller than her head in our front gate. It was quite the eventful night for Jasmine.


We also had two ducks stop by in our pool for a break this week! They flew in and nearly made a crash landing in our pool. They stayed for a couple minutes and left just as quickly as they came. It was a boy and girl duck. I took the picture from inside the house, so it's a little blurry. The only picture I have of the male duck is as he was flying away! So adorable!


One of our meals this week was shrimp boil. I love shrimp boils! Shrimp, lemon, new potatoes, sausage and corn on the cob! It was really good, but I've decided I like the crab boil spices better than Old Bay.
