Yesterday's Cup Cakes for the kids

Yesterday Dove was home sick all day and she watched "Little House on the Prairie" and we both had a little afternoon nap. She rested all day. We went to go bring Dash home and they had computer time. During Computer time the house was so quiet. I took over the TV for a while and then saw a show about turning the TV off and living:) So I did. I decided to bake some cup cakes for the children. Setting up the island with individual bowls of decorations and frosting (store bought this time). After they had cooled I had the children wash up. The pleasure of watching their joy was a delight.
How happy they were to be given the honor of decorating the cakes.
You can see it on Doves face!

It was fun to see them work.
Dash has fine motor challenges and was pretty frustrated at times but this was a great way to stick (get it) to it. Yes sticky fingers what a joy! They even held off tasting them until after the cakes were finished. I teach them about germs and how we have to work clean and use proper cooking technique.

Just look at those adorable little fingers!
Better than any other entertainment!:)

The delicacy is so beautiful to me.

The finished product!
They had so much fun!
It was so quiet last evening. Even the Daddy Man noticed. The children were (as they are now) playing Lego's in Dash's room. They are having fun.

I have a doctors appointment for both of them at 11 a.m. today to check them for strep throat.
I want to make sure that they are alright.
Dove is so tender she set her hand on mine and thanked me for believing me that she was not faking and trying to get out of school. Her eyes were so transparent. Really beautiful.
Dove has been so very healthy all her days (except infancy) that I am watching her carefully. She has had a very low grade fever. Dash awoke with breathing difficulty. He feels warm too.
