I just picked up my youngest son from daycare. His birthday was on Sunday – he turned 4 (can’t even believe it). So today I brought in cupcakes (the ones that I cheated on my diet with) for his class. He was so excited about it when I picked him up. He told me how they all had them for snack in the afternoon, and there on the board it said “afternoon snack – Cupcakes for Aidan’s Birthday”. Even the teachers were excited. It made me realize – sometimes some good ol’ chocolate cake can really just make your day. And if there’s brightly colored frosting? Well, there’s a reason for the expression “that’s icing on the cake”.

(And in case anyone is wondering, the 4 lbs lost are down to 3lbs after all that chocolate cake and buttercream frosting this weekend…)
