The Tasks Ahead..........

So....this is the annual month of my middle child's Fall production.......

Every year this month, in addition to being thrilled to see my son perform, I am inundated with some form of baking......

From cookies, brownies, or cupcakes, it's a giant task that takes months of planning.......

Because there are three productions per year, I am always researching for new and fun ideas.......

This year I am trying "push-pop cupcakes"......I know, livin' on the edge, right?

I am making 200+ with three flavors; Oreo, Chai, and Mud Berry........

I have made and cut out all the cupcake parts.....Sunday, I made (hopefully enough) all the buttercream flavors.......Yesterday, I assembled all but the tops of the push-pop containers.......

Tomorrow is the first of four performances.......I will post some pictures tomorrow as I complete them.....

I love baking.......I find great joy in the time and effort of giving these yummy confections......

My heart is full meditating and thinking as I go, of my son.......

I know that now he does not think about me doing these.......I sometimes think it annoys him.....

But someday, I just hope he sees that this was one way of showing him I support him.......of loving him.......always........

It is my life's purpose to be his mom.......

My heart was divinely created to have him in it.......

So, I look ahead to a busy week.......

And my heart will sing with joy for the gifts of being a mom......

For the hands and legs to complete the tasks ahead......

For the eyes to see my son, doing what he loves......

And for the love of my Father in heaven, who so graciously bestowed them all......
