Our First Football Game!

On Saturday, we all went to the Windsor High School playoff football game.  Suz led the Pep Band, Bryan filled in to play trumpet, Palesa slept pretty much the whole time, Osei encouraged the team to try some passing plays rather than running the option play each time, and my dad and I just watched and cheered.

Windsor beat Frederick 13-0, which means they'll head to the State Championship next.  It was a cool day, but we stayed bundled up in jackets and blankets.  

Getting ready for football season!

Actually, I made these this year for a Superbowl party. They're super easy. Cookies were store bought, and I made white icing for the piping. It took a while to get the icing thick enough to where it didn't drip though. I think I squeezed it out of a regular zip-lock baggie. On a scale of 1-10, it was about a 7 on the messiness factor though.

Vanilla cupcakes. These also came from a box. In retrospect, it helps to not overfill the tins, because you want the top to remain flush after baked to support the "football."

Finally, I adhered the cookies football tops to the cupcakes with more frosting-glue. Once it dried, they stuck like rocks. These were a huge hit!
