Cupcakes

Today I was on a mission to go grocery shopping and get cupcakes. Cupcakes would have to be before groceries because I didnt want a car full of groceries to sit in the hot sun. ALSO I knew I should eat lunch before getting cupcakes and grocery shopping. You can't shop on an empty stomach!! Especially cupcake shopping! Anyway I went to a little taqueria next to Kara's Cupcakes and I was thinking "geez I really don't want a HUGE burrito right now but heck lets see what else they have" Low and behold MINI super burritos. The same thing as a super burrito but smaller! PERFECT... right? I couldn't decide what I wanted so I ended up with both a carnitas and pollo asado mini burritos. I wasnt PLANNING on eating both of them but they tasted so good I couldnt help myself.

On to Kara's I LOVE this place so much more than Sprinkles. Sprinkles is a little bit closer to me but they're overrated in my opinion. For me; cupcake frosting NEEDS to be lickable. Sprinkles cupcakes are not lickable at all and their signature sprinkle is disgusting. I do like that they have a lot of different flavors and its kinda cool that there are certain flavors on certain days. I have never gone in to sprinkles wanting a certain flavor and been dissapointed with "sorry we're out" at Kara's they have the best frosting, and they have filled cupcakes. Their decorations dont taste like plastic discs, they're yummy fondant. Another plus is they have MINI cupcakes. So if I really wanted I could get a bunch of different flavors and eat them all. I could definitely do this with the regular sized cupcakes, but I feel like less of a lard ass with the minis. Their one flaw is if I go in craving a peanut butter chocolate cupcake, they may or may not have them. I've even gone in at 4pm and they closed because they were all out of cupcakes.

At Karas I ordered a Smores, Fleur de Sel, passion fruit, and hazlenut cupcakes. I ordered a mini sweet vanilla on a napkin... pretending that I wouldnt be eating the big ones myself. (yeah right) I ate the mini in one bite and had enough self control to wait until after Bubbs went to bed to eat them. I split the Smores in half and shared with the Hubbs, he's VERY lucky I shared. It was delicious, it was a chocolate cake with a graham cracker bottom topped with marshmallow topping that they seem to have set a torch to. I let him have the hazelnut but he gave me a bite. The frosting tasted like butter and the cake was sweet but not too sweet. It tasted like a very moist muffin. The one I saved for myself was the fleur de sel. Its a chocolate cupcake filled with caramel and topped with chocolate ganache and sprinkled with fleur de sel. SO yummy. I'm tempted to eat the last one, but I promised bubbs he could have a cupcake. You're probably thinking "go ahead eat it, he won't remember" but ohhhh yes he does. He's going to wake up thinking about that cupcake and I dont want to be there if he cant have it.

Anyway after Kara's I went to the grocery store and thank goodness I wasn't hungry because I spent $200 and only God knows how much I would've spent if impulse buys came into play

Observations of a two year old

While driving through mountains Bubba looked up and saw the powerlines had big balls attached to them (to make them visible to planes) and shouts out "LOOK! COCONUTS!"

My mom's stairs have a landing that overlooks the dining room and as Bubbs was playing on the landing, he stops suddenly and says "Look! It's monsters!"
"Where?" I ask
"Right there! Eating at Grandma's table!" as he points to the dining room table.
"Oh yeah? What are they eating?"
"Mac and Cheese" he says matter of factly

More things they say

Bubbs came running to me today with a cork in his hand and says, "LOOK! It's a cork! It's for your Mommy's juice!"

While getting ready for bed he asked me to see what I thought was "dragon roll" it sounded like "dago woll" and since we just ate at a japanese restaurant I figured he was talking about sushi. I asked if he wanted a dragon roll he said no, and repeated "dago woll" I asked what a "dago woll" was and he said "kitty" and I asked if he meant Little Mow, or Tiger Lilly (my moms kitties) and he said no. I asked who the kitty belonged to and he said "Minnie!!!" "Ohhhh you mean FIGARO?" he nods "yeah dago woll!"

My poor neglected child

I feel so bad for Bubba, more and more he's been soaking through his diapers and wetting his clothes. I like to think that it's because he doesn't let us change his diaper when we ask. But is it really just because I'm so distracted with Cubba and I don't pay enough attention to Bubbs? with my lack of sleep these days I also find myself short tempered. Bubbs told me he had to 'poopoo in the potty' and I ran to take him to the bathroom and once we got there he said he couldnt go. I took him off and left him without a diaper because i knew he'd want to try again. Two minutes later he again asked to poop in the potty, and I took him but this time he cried and said he couldnt do it and asked for his diaper. I put his diaper on and told him to tell me if he had to go poop because he'd get a jellybean if he went in the potty. Less than 5 minutes later he pooped in his diaper and i was SO annoyed! I told him only babies poop in diapers, and since one of his favorite insults these days is "crybaby" (along with poopoo head and knucklehead) I called him crybaby and he burst into tears. I'm such a mean mommy, but I'm SO SICK OF POOP!!!! With C i'm changing diapers every 15 minutes as it is, and its just so HARD dealing with stinky two year old poop :(
