A simple day in our lives.....

We had a beautiful day here today. I am feeling a tad better, but sick of doing the minimum and Lil E seemed better. I do believe it was allergies for my sweetie pie. Thank God! It was really warm out, for here, this time of the year, but a beautiful day. It was super windy too. Even with the weather, we had some fun outside. We all love living in the country. Daddy was busy farming away today, and so the girls and I were out to have a lil fun. We love all the animals that are around us. The Pasture across from us, has some really beautiful horses. And today we were able to see the sweet foal! It's precious! And the girls loved seeing the baby horse, as Lil E says.

It was back to our regular friends! Buddy and Lucky (This is only Lil E's names for them, not their given names.) She loves loves to feed them carrots, and when they see her, they love to run up to get some loves! Buddy is always super gentle with her! He really is awesome! And she loves him too! He is in the process of being trained, and hopefully she can go on a lil ride soon.

She made her very own, hop scotch deal today, and was busy hopping along.

Back inside, lil K was busy getting us! She loves to roar and get ya! So she was getting Mommy and sissy too!

And she has her sweet lil stuffed puppy, that she loves so much! The girls were each given these cuddly lil stuffed animals, and they both love them. But Lil K is always hugging and loving it!

So I haven't been baking much, and Lil E has been wanting to bake, so I promised her I would! And she tells me, it will make you feel all better Mommy. So how can I resist? I can't! So it was time to go to the kitchen! Lil K was busy playing in the pantry, and Lil E and I were baking up a batch of cup cakes.

Guess what, Lil K learned about cake batter today! It's her daddy's favorite! So we left a little in the bowl so the girls and daddy could each have a sampling! And Boy howdy! Lil K was so mad, when it was all gone! I have never seen her get that upset! She threw herself on the floor for more and was having a big fit! So I know it must be a favorite of hers too!

And here's the recipes, we did get this out of the Taste of Home "Bake Sale" Special Edition. Well we did alter it a tiny bit, it calls for mini chocolate chips and vanilla frosting. Below is the way we did it.

Chocolate Chip Cup Cakes

1 box of yellow cake mix

1 pkg of instant vanilla pudding

4 eggs

1 cup water

1/2 cup oil

1 cup chocolate chips

Mix everything except the chocolate chips. Fold those in. Bake in 375 degrees, pre heated oven, for 18 - 22 minutes. Cool and ice with frosting of choice, and garnish with chocolate chips.

We used milk chocolate frosting, and as always milk chocolate chips. They are the most moist cupcakes! So now the wheels are turning for future combinations and flavors!

We all hope and wish each and everyone of you a wonderful day! God Bless you all!

Hugs and Blessings,
