Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well, I felt bad on Valentine's Day for not doing anything for my boys and their classes but I just got so tied up with work.  That and it is getting harder with three in elementary.  That's 50 treats!  My Mom made me feel better with the idea I do something another time.  Another time like St. Patrick's Day!  She told me about these cupcakes that are multilayer and even sent me the food coloring and stickers for it.
Now I did mess up a little.  The center of the cupcake is suppose to be lighter green but I guess I added too much food coloring on this batch.  The others had a more defined three layer look.
So Micah, Brady, and Skyler all decorated their class cupcakes and topped it with the cupcake toppers I made out of the sticker my Mom sent.  They all turned out beautiful and the boys enjoyed decorating them.


For those interested in the recipe it is on AllRecipes.com.  Sweetheart Cupcakes  http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweetheart-cupcakes/.  Fun stuff.  Thanks Mom for the great idea and for sending me the tools to make them!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!




Swim Stunt Men

Brady has this favorite shirt of mine that say, "I do all my own stunts."  That is a perfect description of Brady.  This day at the pool the boys were having fun doing stunts into the pool.  

Introducing..................... the Corry Stunt Men.

ROUDY RILEY
Riley's stunt was to walk around the pool.  New to taking steps, each one was wobbly and a bit scary with Skyler running all around him.  Then he tried to take on stairs.  How is that for Roudy?


Sky-High Skyler
Skyler's stunt was a high flying karate kick jump.  Look at his determination to get some air.

Bad Boy Brady
Round and round we go.  With a leap and a twist Brady tries for a 360 jump.
Mad-Dog Micah
Here Micah goes for a handstand.....oh wait.... he's going for a flip!  
He almost makes it all the way around.

Air-Time Alec
Standing on the edge, Alec launches himself around for a nice cannon ball jump.  10 points! 

Yet another fun day at the pool.  What a great way for my stunt men to do their stunts.
