Country Girls

Oh my goodness!! It's been almost 2 months since I wrote on this blog. You, my beautiful viewing public have gone almost 2 months since you've been subjected to, tortured by, gifted with a blog post. I'm sure you've been terribly disappointed. So, it is my compulsion, obsession, pleasure to provide you with one.

So, you're asking yourself, what has BKCMom been so busy doing that she has forsaken her audience? In a word, a word that you're no doubt TIRED of hearing, cupcakes. Yes, I said it even though I think I promised in another post that I wouldn't. I've been busy making cupcakes, hundreds of dozens of cupcakes. And for a change of pace, that isn't an exaggeration. I've literally made hundreds of dozens of cupcakes. And sold them. For money. But don't tell the health department that I've been doing that, because they really don't like it when people make food in their homes and sell it. I was informed of that recently via certified letter. I'm pretty sure no good news comes via certified mail.

In other news, my Big BK has started school, kindergarten to be exact. He was so excited the first morning that he wanted to go early. He was wearing one of his 11 new outfits. He looked like this....

 Because this picture is the first day of school.

I was so proud of him. He didn't cry when I left, which was about 10 minutes after we got there. He just hugged me and told me he loved me. I've raised such an independent, brave little boy. Well, I guess his daddy, mommaw and poppaw had something to do with it too. But I don't mind taking credit.

When I picked him up at the end of the day he asked me if he had to go back the next day. I told him yes. I'm not sure how happy he was about it.

Day number 2 he had homework to do. By the time we finished with his homework, he was exhausted, I was exhausted, we'd both shed alot of tears and done a lot of yelling. This is what his homework looked like.

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. He had to write his name, 3 letters, followed by an uppercase L, a zero, a lowercase L and a circle. He had to do these things 3 time. And it took.....two......hours. I'm tired just thinking about it now. Things have gotten better since then. Now it takes nowhere near that long. And let me tell you, I'm happy about that.

I can't go into what the baby has been doing for the past few weeks. It's completely inappropriate for this blog, as it's completely family-friendly. Suffice it to say, he's entered a phase in his toddlerdom that I really wish he wasn't in. I REALLLLLY wish he wasn't in this phase.

In case you were curious about what I've been doing, what I mentioned earlier, here is some photographic evidence of my endeavours...

The cupcakes pictured here are: Red Velvet, Coconut, and Banana Pudding. If you ever have the opportunity to try the Banana Pudding, I strongly recommend that you try it. It will change your life. It is that good. The others aren't bad either, if I do say so, and you know I do.....:)
