Camp, Cupcakes, and Concern



This is what my dining room table looks like today:

I am trying to get ready for GIRLS CAMP next week (I'm the cook, remember), and spent yesterday going through camp supply bins, washing the dirt from camps-gone-by off of dishes, laundering dirty dishtowels and dishcloths that had been stashed, forgotten, and stored that way (seriously!), sorting through smashed boxes of random utensils,  and doing the Walmart run.  Today I am going to try and get everything else EXCEPT the produce.  But first I have to find refrigerator/freezer space.  AND make sure I stay in budget.  Wish me luck.

This is on my kitchen counter:
Did I mention that I agreed (I know, what was I thinking?) to make 300 cupcakes for the Stake Girls Camp fireside Sunday evening?  The good thing is, I am just purchasing the frosting from Sam's Club.  Did you know they do that?  You can buy JUST their frosting.  I know it's not like homemade, but it's pretty darn good, and comes in a variety of colors.  I need a sunny yellow.  And when you have to make 300 cupcakes, it's a lifesaver.  Besides, mixing up frosting is my least favorite part of making cupcakes.

(Kind of like scouring the shower is my least favorite part of cleaning the bathroom, so I've arranged with Bill to have that be his job.  I'm happy to do the rest, including the toilet.)

Lex has been sick, sick, sick this week at EFY.  Poor girl.  It stresses me out that she hasn't been eating, and that she's thrown up a time or two.  I'm a little worried about the trip home tomorrow.  I hope they bring along some barf bags, Lex is prone to car-sickness anyway.  
I can't wait to see her and Shi tomorrow night... I have missed them!
