Thanksgiving Acorn Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes this year for Emma's preschool class. The class had a Thanksgiving Meal that parents could attend and i wanted to do a special cupcake. I wasn't sure if i wanted to make these or Turkey Cookies; somehow, Acorn Cupcakes seemed a bit too grown up for a class of four year olds. And they were...i'm afraid that the horrid looking Turkey Cookies that tasted icky were a hit in looks, but the cupcakes were eaten. What wasn't eaten, i made sure did not come home with me. With the week that i've had, i would have eaten every one of the left-over cupcakes before i had even made it home....

Preschool is a challenge for my Emma. Not sure why, but we are working to find ways to make things better. I spent the day in class with her last Thursday and she was so very good the entire day, so i'm not sure what exactly is going on in her mind. I don't know if spending so much time with me alone is the issue, if she has listening issues (she did fantastic on Thursday), or if it's something else. I can tell that she knows what she's suppose to do and how she is suppose to act...yet, she's having problems. I'm thankful for her two teachers...they are gems and i'm grateful that they are willing to work with her.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We'll be staying home this year, just the three of us. Robert has been doing a bit of traveling lately, so we truly need this time together. I do wish that we had some family or some company, but i am looking forward to having Emma and Robert all to myself for a few days. I'm planning on doing some photos; i really haven't had much time to shoot lately.

I'm working on a few things, but it's too early to talk about that just yet. Better to just concentrate on the holidays, i think...
