B.E.A.R.S.

With the week off you may be wondering how I have been spending my time...cleaning the house, finishing applications, studying for boards. Well all of those would be productive things, but certainly not fun. I have been baking like crazy. For example, I only get to teach every 3-4 months in young women and it was my turn this last Sunday. I decided to make a really cute treat and it only took me all day (really, all day, but so worth it). The lesson was on scripture study so i turned to Sugardoodle.com to get the creative juices flowing. I found this really cute handout:



Then I decided to make bear cupcakes. I got the idea online and made some modifications of my own. What do you think?

I started freaking out when I couldn't figure out how to package them.  Everytime I used Saran Wrap, the faces got smudged.  After racking my brain for an hour, I tried putting them in on cardboard and then in a gallon size bag and cutting off the top.  It worked and I was elated!

 
The final product.

I think the girls really enjoyed them, but next time I think I'll try something a little less time consuming.

While I was preparing the lesson, I could see Boomer doing something fishy out of the corner of my eye.  I looked over and this is what I saw:

I guess he thought there was a treat dropped in the couch or something.  i don't know how he managed to fit his entire head and one arm in there.  It was hilarious!
