The "Cupcakes for Haiti" Bake Sale is rescheduled for Tuesday! (a.k.a TOMORROW!) For those of you who email-ordered a dozen cupcakes, I will contact you to make sure this day works. (And hey, thank you for doing that - the sale already feels like a success based on preorders and Kort is OH SO EXCITED! You have seriously made his week - so thank you, thank you.) It is so wonderful to watch my boy put his mind to something, work hard, and then make a success of it - wow, could anything be better for his growth or self-esteem? I think not.
Kort and I did a "practice run" and made cupcakes for "Family Missionary Night" last night, and it was SO GREAT! My family gave over $60 dollars in Haiti donations (and yes, Kort's head nearly exploded). My favorite part of the day was when I offered Kort a cupcake as a reward for all of his hard work, and he said "No way! That's like eating money that should be going to Haiti!"
Ahhhh ha ha ha ha! My very own little cupcake monster of a kid was NOT going to "waste" even ONE money-making cupcake! Nuh-uh, that would just be nuts.
What a kid.

Feel better, Laura!
Hope you are feeling better. Do you need any help?
Just wanted to say I have recently stumbled upon your blog and I am so enjoying reading it. Your enthusiasm is inspirational - thank you! I do hope you're feeling better soon.
Um... is it to late to order half a dozen??
I will even come 'help'. (as much as I can with a 2 month old... but perhaps you can snuggle him while I do the work? He is super snugly!)
Love you!
