Love of a mother or self saboteur

Sometimes I wonder why? Why do I come up with these great, time consuming ideas that are cool, but just not necessary? I could have just made a batch of cupcakes for school and then quickly iced them with a few sprinkles, right? Maybe 2 hours...at most. More sleep and less temptation to lick. But no...since Will wants a Lego themed birthday, what do I do? I spend at least 4 hours on Lego shaped cupcakes. He helped with some of them and he's SUPER excited. But really, am I doing it of love or is there just something in me that has to make myself suffer. That or I just like the challenge of doing something new. Or I want to be the coolest mom ever.

I'm done the "cupcakes" and have yet to start the cake. Which...you guessed it...will be Lego. But, I don't think I'll have enough fondant so I'll have to make some more, but I don't have enough icing sugar, so I guess I'll do it tomorrow night. Honestly, why do I do this???

Anyways, you wanna see pictures?
