ok. i'm making cupcakes too, so if i screw up the 'treasure
chest' we'll still have something
since the weather has decided to warm up some for tomorrow,
i'm going to have the kids make thier own ice cream (using the
2 baggies & milk method). Boo loves doing that, so hopefully
his friends will too... all 18 of them!
