Hey! Thanks so much(:
I am really excited, our trip can't come fast enough
I'm planning on having a few more updates soon, before our trip!
 

Hey guys!
I'm just really excited, I got my scheduel for HS in the mail today(:
I'm really happy with my classes, and I'm just so excited, probably because it's my first year of HS...
Anyways- I'm even more excited because I know one of my best friends is in two of my classes, which makes it even better!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great Father's Day tomorrow! My dad got a new grill today, and he loves it... *him getting a new grill reminds me of that commercial where a wife gets her husband a grill so she doesn't have to cook all summer hahha*
 
That's great about your classes. Emily is going into high school too in August.
Hope your dad has a great Father's day.:goodvibes

Hey guys! I've got some new exciting news, that has me SUPER DUPER excited!

I was just texting one of my close friends, and she said that we needed to hang out this summer, I told her that'd be awesome, and I mentioned going to WDW this summer... well she said she was going to WDW too! So, I asked when, and she said July 3rd-10th! Then I started getting all excited, because, hello, we would be there (technically) the 6th-13th! So, I quickly replied telling her we would be there FIVE of the days she'd be there, and told her we'd have to meet up! So, we're planning on meeting up! She also said she's not staying on property, but that doesn't make a huge deal towards us meeting up or not. So, I'm really excited now! I've never met a friend in WDW! Sorry, I'm babbling on about this, I'm just super excited!!

Hope everyone's having a great Father's day!

Yea, she's excited and a little scared too. I think I'm more nervous then she is.:laughing:
Yay, for being able to meet up with your friend. I met up with my BF in November at MK and we had a blast.

I'm just full of updates aren't I? And tomorrow I'll probably have an update on our Disney clothes (which are coming today!) and Toy Story Three (we're seeing it tomorrow!)

So, today my mom went to the food store, and grabbed some materials for the cupcakes for me! After lunch, I started making them

I made the batter, filled the cupcake pan, put them in the oven for 20 minutes, and then got started on the next thing.

Mixing the icing. I mixed the white icing with neon green food coloring, and then rolled out some green gum drops and cut them into ear shapes, for the ears.

Once the cupcakes were done baking, I took them out, and put the green icing on them (I also put more batter into the cupcake holes, they were going to be plain green cupcakes)

This is what they looked like;

After icing them, I put on the eyes (mint mentoes) And the eyeballs (black gel);

And made their :0 mouths (black gel);

Then, I cut up green sour straws and used them as attena's ;

Lastly, I put the messy ears (these were the hardest to make, they were so sticky, and cutting them into ear shaped were hard) on;

Some of the final products (I ran out of mentos for the eyes, so I used white gum drops, and one of them just has two of his eyes closed... lol)

Seconds later, the plain batch was ready, I took them out (and burnt myself a little... the platter thing was hot and I accidently touched it... ow)
I iced them up

And had the idea to write 'TS3' on some of them in black gel icing

I put them on plates, and they were ready to go!

I got to eat the first alien cupcake;

I called my bros down, and they had a cupcake each (DB12 actually had two...)

Jeter was hoping he could have one... but was just having to deal with the crumbs that fell from the table

When my bros were finished, I called my aunt and cousins and asked them if they wanted some (they live right next door, they were over here in two minutes)

Mmmmm, the cupcakes are delicious! And soo cute
