Ariel turns 7

On Saturday we had a pool party to celebrate Ariel turning a whole 7 years old. She is so big and such a little lady! We had lots of fun with our family. She got some new clothes and a scooter, a music stand and a metronome (because she's starting violin lessons next week!). We had lots of issues with the cake that day. It had bubbled a little bit while it cooked, making it a bit high for the lid to be on, and this is what it did to it. So, we just stuck the candles in the chocolate "lake" and made do. It was still good!

And then the cupcakes... we had made cupcakes because there was so many people- but Nathaniel stepped on half of them while he was in the car! Complete mush! And then to boot, the extras that weren't eaten were brought home and put in the oven (that's where we store extra food), and in the morning, Dustan turned the oven on to make cinnamon rolls and voila! Crispy cupcakes! And into the trash I threw them. Ah well, it's not like we needed to eat them!
