colton and chase are at school and aiden is watching baby wordsworth so i thought i would blog instead of clean or do laundry…this is way more fun. after we dropped chase off at school, aiden and i went to michael’s to look for cake pans for chase’s birthday cake that i am going to make and take with us to san antonio. how am i going to do this, you may ask. well, easy…my trip to michael’s was such a success…i not only found a wilton superman cake pan, but also a super cool tupperware cake carrier thingy that has a handle and everything. it also has a tray that you can carry cupcakes in. this lead me to decide to take superman cupcakes to chase’s class on thursday instead of a cookie cake. the cookie cake would be $20 and we are leaving on friday for san antonio so the extras would go to waste. they had superman cupcake liners, the super S triangle symbol made of candy to go on the cupcakes and all the icing i needed. yea!! and bonus…now i get to carry them up there in my cool new carrier. colton’s teacher is very sweet and is going to let colton come to chase’s class to have a cupcake with him. and i got superman plates, napkins and masks for each kid to have. this is total overcompensation on my part, i am aware, because of not having a birthday party.
i have purchased my first bag of candy corn. i wait for these all year. i try hard to wait until october 1st, but some years i just can’t. this year was one of them. my very favorite are the pumpkin candy corns, but they did not have these at walmart. i was very torn because even though regular candy corn taste the same as the pumpkins, the pumpkins are still way better. i never get the indian corn with the brown bottom instead of yellow…beware and don’t be fooled. they are imposters. i stood in the isle for a while holding the bag of regular candy corn and torn because i really wanted the pumpkins…do i settle or do i wait for the best? due to the fact that aiden was 48 seconds from throwing a fit (she had started that whole back arching in the cart thing)and i still had to check out, i settled. i talked myself into the regular, thinking they would be a better size for the kids (smaller…less suger) and i knew they would constantly be beggin. well, i have always been too impatient and now i pay the price. when i do get the bag of pumpkins…it just won’t be the same. why is it called candy corn anyways? it’s not shaped like corn…and trust me…after my 2 year stint in iowa, i know what corn looks like. this leads me to the question i asked myself today…is it candy corn or just corny candy?
