TGIF and Cupcakes

I need to start by giving a quick update......thank God the word on Harper keeps getting better and better. Last I read on Kelly's blog Harper was at 43% oxygen!!! God is good!

I love Fridays! I don't know that they are my favorite day of the week. I don't know if I really have a favorite day, but I enjoy Fridays A LOT!!! The whole weekend is ahead of you. I think this is going to be a low key weekend. Hubby is S.I.C.K. it's just a cold but it is still enough to make the pep in his step a little lacking. We have plans to meet some friends and their Kiddos for dinner tomorrow night, beyond that......the days will be spent doing whatever I want. That is my favorite part of Fridays. It is the kick off to days of doing whatever I want.

And now for a little creating.
I can't claim these completely. I got the idea off of a Betty Crocker web site and changed it up a bit. There is a low cal and a bit "healthier" version of these as well, but with it being Friday I thought the "classic" recipe was called for. These are one of my most requested desserts. Enjoy!
