Random Thought: Anticipation Edition

So is anyone else really ready for Halloween?

I AM!

I can't wait ! I'm so excited for it ! I love the colors, the feeling in the air, and how it can pull the child out of anyone.  I would also love to think that I could look forward to the cool, crisp air... but being a realistic Texan- I know that those Halloweens are few and far between.  So maybe I'll just hope that a cool, crisp surpise could arrive this October.

I also realize that I am a little ahead of myself, and I have only Pinterest to blame.  Its a love hate relationship, but look at all the fun stuff it had to share with me today!

anyway... enjoy July, but remember October is just around the corner!

Cake Balls: Superhero Edition

So sometimes when I'm bored ( or have a semester of a whole lot of nothing to do) I make cake balls.  They started out many months ago as merely desserty treats.  Over the course of our relationship ( being the relationship between cake balls and myself) it has grown into so much more.  Its become an art form, an excellent way to procrastinate productivity and a calorie packing challenge.  I love it. When people ask me what I do all day and I respond " I make cake balls" they always laugh.  I like that people expect more out of me on a daily basis than cake balls but I'm very serious when I say its my main past time.

So back in January my 7 year old best friend, Zach, became my 8 year old best friend. crazy, right?   So in honor of his accomplishment I made him cake balls for his superhero birthday party (along with our 4 year old best friend, Greg).

So after googling for ideas and some trial runs.. .here is the final product!

I can't find a better picture that I didn't take on my phone without the icky kitchen junk in the background...but you get the idea!
