Right?
Over the past few days I have been putting together ideas for the girl's upcoming double birthday extravaganza. I vetoed High School Musical and Hannah Montana right off the bat. Themed parties are nice the first time out but we have been to three HSM parties in the past few months and well, quite frankly, I am so over Troy and Gabriella.
So we are going with bugs. Bugs. You heard me. BUGS. INSECTS.
Worms. Butterflies. Caterpillars. Bumblebees.
The girls are pretty darn excited and have gotten into all of the cupcake designs except the... worms!
I have described it over and over and they just can't get it into their heads so this afternoon I demonstrated. I took a sheet of foil and rolled it into a ball. I had an open container of frosting in the fridge so I smeared some on top and told them to imagine it green, it was white. Then I poked a hole in the cupcake and stuck in a green straw that I had cut into thirds, I told them to imagine that it was a wiggly gummy worm laid out on the imaginary green frosting. Then I took one of Baileys precious Cheez-It's and crushed it and spread it around the worm hole to look like dirt or a crushed Oreo.
Do you get the idea? Does it make sense to anyone but me?
