I Can Has Star Muffin?

Something I have noticed since I brought Noah home from the hospital is that it would be impossible to ignore older children when you have more than one. They definitely have ways of getting your attention. We went to a mall in Dallas which happens to be right by Sprinkles Cupcakes, and Brett surprised me by taking me there. I was so excited when I realized that they had flourless chocolate cupcakes for Passover. When we got inside, Kennedy also wanted one of these "muffins" which she called a star muffin due to the Star of David that was atop it. We got in the car and all we heard was, "Star Muffin! Star Muffin!" But we told her to be patient and that she could have it after dinner. A little while later, she stopped talking about it.

We went out to dinner, and she didn't say a word about the muffin. As soon as Brett had paid the bill and said, "Are you ready to go?" she yelled out, "Star Muffin!" That's all she talked about on the way home. So we let her have it. That may have been a mistake.

I don't know how she managed to make such a huge mess. It was all over the floor, the chair, and plastered on the table. Miraculously, none of it got on her clothes. Thanks to Brett, we now have pretty much the cutest picture of her I've ever seen.

Brett left for New Jersey again bright and early this morning. We still don't have a return date for him, but I have already been able to talk to him, and will be able to everyday. He says that it is weird to be back and not have people following him around yelling at him. He also says that it's a relief. :) His first dentist appointment is tomorrow morning, so hopefully all goes well! Day 1 by myself with two kids has turned out ok - here's hoping that tomorrow will be ok too.
