Today, AJ (my middle child) enters double digits - he's 10 year old! Crazy, how quickly time flies. When they're tiny little babies everyone tells you that you're gonna blink and they'll be graduating from college. Um....yeah - it's true. He's got football practice tonite, so LAST night I made his favorite dinner - spaghetti and mozzarella-stuffed meatballs (YUM!). But I'd still like to do something fun for the little big guy. So we're having a Jack-o-Lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's. Best of all - it's just $6. ;)
Plus, this will go nicely with the cupcakes I just finished frosting for him. Aren't they cute! Just so you know I'm still fabulously frugal - I got the cupcake tins/carriers after Christmas last year for $0.50, and the cake mix & frosting is a spring set that I got for $0.25/ea. at Target after Easter. To mask the "spring-ness" I jazzed 'em up with Halloween liners, sprinkles and chocolate eyeballs. All told, a batch of 18 cost me less than $6 - and mine taste WAY better than the grocery store 'cuz I have a secret ingredient (LOVE!).
Here's hopin' his birthday is so much fun it's SCARY (see what I just did there?!). And let's hope the Rangers give him a nice little birthday present of a World Series win! Go Rangers!
