Day 26 - Cupcakes and clubs

Cupcakes! The very word is enough to get even the most "Ugh, do we have to go?" whiner to grab shoes and jump in the car.

Today we decided to check out Sugar Magnolia's in St. Cloud. It is a cupcake bakery. They had muffins and cookies, as well. The shop was cute and had a fun decor. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and patient.

There were no chocolate cupcakes when we got there this afternoon and surprisingly there was no mutiny! Each of the kids immediately wanted one of the "Salted Caramel " cupcakes. Not wanting to rock the boat while everyone was being so uncharacteristically agreeable, I decided to get the same.

Oh, my yummy, sugary heavens!!! They were so good! and big! Cole was the only one to finish his.

He summed it all up perfectly with his frosting covered mouth;

"It tastes like a miracle!"

This evening we dragged the whole clan to a club meeting (we just joined the local airboat association). The kids spent the whole drive over excitedly pondering all the cool things that being in a 'real club' means. Like maybe shirts or jackets, cool handshake to get in, a cool SECRET handshake, prizes and all kinds of 'CLUB' things that other people, not cool enough to be in the club, don't get to do.

They spent the whole ride home telling us how BORING being in a club is and that they never want to go to be in a 'real club' or go to a club meeting again.

Win some, lose some.
