Today the kids went to a birthday party of one of their good friends from playgroup.  Unfortunately, in order to get Franny to her camp on time, we had to leave the party early and they missed having cake with their friends.  So, I decided it was a good for a special afternoon treat of baking cupcakes and decorating them.  It wasn’t the same as eating and celebrating with friends, but I think it was a good compromise.  And, not surprisingly, it was the sprinkles that saved the day!
