We had planned to do this last week when it rained but too many people were missing. So today, we whipped up some cupcakes and headed over to see Daddy at work!
I had picked up a cake mix, frosting, licorice and M&Ms to make the cupcakes. I wanted something Tater could easily decorate. This time, while making the cupcake batter, I let Tater operate the hand mixer. He got such a thrill out of mixing everything up! After the cupcakes were baked, I frosted them and let Tater decorate. We used the M&Ms for eyes and we broke off some licorice pieces for a mouth--making little smiling cupcakes! Tater did pretty good until he realized that the M&Ms were candy! Then he wanted to eat them all! I was afraid we were going to run out before the cupcakes were finished!
We packed up the cupcakes and some extra goodies from yesterday's playdate and headed on over. Tater had a good time waving hi and bye to everyone and exploring the building. Everyone was so happy to see him and I think it brightened their normal work day a little.
Before we left, Tater and Daddy shared a cupcake. Then we headed on our way back home. I think it was good for Tater to see the place where Daddy goes all week.
Since I worked the cupcakes ingredients into amazing Jewel/Wags/CVS deals, the day didn't cost us anything out of our funds. We can roll the $2 over into another week.
Hope your Thursday was a good one, too!
