Ya Get More With Sugar Than Ya Do With Vinegar

I was given the great privilege of watching my niece and nephew on Tuesday night while my sister and her fiancé enjoyed a quiet evening downtown at 677 Prime.  Upon their arrival it was decided that cupcakes were in order, so we got busy in the kitchen cooking up our happily chaotic concoction.  When Willow and Manny decided that white cake mix was too vanilla for their taste, we got crazy with the food coloring.  It wasn't long before Willow's pretty pink dress was green, and our lips and tongues were blue.  

 

My kind of teamwork!

Gotta love them big browns!

"Eat dessert first" is the rule we follow at Aunt Carrie's house.  However, when my veggie-lovin' Willow noticed that "Uncle Babe" was boiling up some edamame, she couldn't miss out on the treat, and soon we were enjoying an edamame picnic on the dining room rug. Willow ate so many I thought she'd surely turn green in the face.  Of course that didn't happen, but I imagine my sister must have been in stitches the next morning when Willow went to the bathroom to do her business and shouted "Wow, it's green.  That's amazing!"
