It’s Like the Xanax of Cupcakes

This weekend the kids and Bobby and I (along with Emily & her kids and lots of other cool bloggy peeps) had the privilege of attending a birthday party for Amy’s daughter, P. The party was held at Pump It Up, one of those “bouncy places” as Joshua calls them, and let me just say a GREAT time was had by all! After an hour or so of bouncing, we went into a room where the (very awesome) Pump It Up staff served the children chips, juice boxes, and cupcakes. Glorious, glorious cupcakes. Cupcakes that not only looked and tasted delicious, but also seemed to have a mysterious tranquilizing quality. After just one bite, all the crazy kiddos seemed to instantly calm down. Witness:

Shannan’s three-year-old, Brady:

Bradybits lookin' cute!

Erin’s
little guy:

And finally, my little Sophie, who was completely transformed into a Zen-like state:

someone drugged the cupcakes

Maybe it was the hour of furiously bouncing, climbing, and sliding that that made the kids so docile, but after a taste of that icing, I’m thinking someone slipped a little somethin’-somethin’ into the cupcakes.

And yo, I could really use that recipe!

  1. I can NOT believe that was actually caught on camera! You should start saving for her future therapy sessions now!!! Too funny!

  2. I agree Sophie will hate you for that picture, but if you just explain how it made all of your friends laugh so hard, surely she will want to take one for the team?

    Those cupcakes were good too! I’da been OK with valuum in mine though, totally! πŸ™‚

  3. I’m not joking when I say I was thinking about how good that icing was when I was walking to work this AM.

    My boy graciously let his mom have a few licks.

  4. I so want the recipe too! I love Sophie dearly, but I can’t help to laugh out loud to how silly she looks. Make sure to save it for when the dates come over in high school!

  5. We take our little guy to the “World Of Bounce” where we live…usually it’s me that exits the building in a Zen-like state. πŸ˜€

  6. OMG that last photo is HYSTERICAL.

    Cupcake COMA.

    I’ve never really thought Zen equals bouncy place on crack but you might be on to something. πŸ˜‰

    p.s. I’ll have what she’s having!

  7. And you complain about the pictures I post of you? You don’t think Sophie is going to HATE you for this one in about 10 years?
