There's a huge election in Harahan this weekend and Peter Dale, Chief of Police, enlisted the help of his celebrity friends to help him campaign. A float came down our street, complete with a jazz band and Dan Akroyd! He came right up to us, shook our hands, took pictures with us. It was so much fun. In the middle of it, I yelled to Jackson "he's a Ghostbuster!". I was a little disappointed when I came inside to find the flash hadn't gone off on my camera, so the pictures came out dark. I'm hoping my neighbor's pictures are better. Those are her kids in the picture with Jackson & Jacob.
I have to go now and finish the cupcakes I very stupidly offered to bake for Jacob's birthday tomorrow. It's his snack day and I was just going to buy store bought cute cupcakes but my sister (Angela) shamed me into baking them myself. I should have bought them. Those kids would not know the difference and I'm up late baking & icing. I had to make two batches because one batch was shy 2 cupcakes. I get the Mother of the Year Award, don't you think?
It makes me smile just to look at this picture -- and I'm not even an Akroyd fan.
Yes, I'd give you the Mother of the Year Award. Homemade cupcakes taste sooo much better than store-bought. It will come back to roost, you know, as Chapter 9 of THE BOOK and then won't you be glad you did?
(Actually, I give all my children the Mother/Father of the Year Awards! Everyone is doing such a good job of it.)
That is so cool that you met Dan Akroyd. I loved him in anything with Gilda and the gang, and Ghostbusters I is one of my favorite comedies.
Yes, you beat me by a batch of cupcakes. Mother of the Year award goes to you, Christina.
Christina,
You and your celebrity sightings...at least this go around you have photographic evidence. Granted due to the quality of the photo and your "reputation" (Jude Law?) there is still room for doubt. Hope the cupcakes were a hit! See you soon.
