Cupcakes

I can't tell you how much I love being with little man right now!
This is a picture of him watching Mickey while I finish my make up for work. I made him wear the monster hat yesterday because I thought that he looked too big....
I'm crazy! I know and I can't help it!


Anyway...Max had told me earlier in the week that he needed me to bake something for his informal office brunch today.  I think he signed up a little late because when I made all of the normal brunch suggestions (breakfast casseroles, cinnamon rolls, ham, mimosas, french toast) he said that someone had alrealdy signed up for all of those things. 

I was stumped on what to make until Chance and I stumbled upon this little hot chocolate cupcake mix at the grocery store. 

After all of my original thoughts like...I'm terrible at baking.  I think I'm too much of a perfectionist or control freak or something to be able to bake.  Why is baking sooo much harder than cooking?  I realized for the second time in a day that I was being crazy and grabbed the box of cupcakes. 

Apparently Chance isn't intimidated by baking at all.  In fact he LOVED helping me put all of the cupcake wrappers in place.  Who knew that cupcake wrappers could be so entertaining. 

It turns out that with Chance's help...we can handle baking cupcakes just fine. 

You even get to reward yourself with some chocolate at the end :)

Even Max was impressed with our finished product. 

Unfortunately, Chance decided to help himself to one this morning before Max was able to make it to the office with the batch.  I think someone might share his father's sweet tooth.
