Oreo Cookie Cupcakes

Thank goodness yesterday was the last day of school. The cupcakes I bake for the next two months can be enjoyed by adults instead of six year olds. I decided to add a childhood favorite to the vanilla and chocolate cupcakes I made for Gabe's final day of school. I figured Oreos are great on their own but twice as nice with a cupcake underneath and three times as good when accompanied by a first grade version of a pizza party. I was lucky enough to join the kids for the last day of school where they devised clever "Dad" poems for Father's Day, played Candyland, watched "Curious George" the movie, played chase at recess, and of course pizza and cupcakes. My last day of school was never this fabulous. It was sad saying good-bye to the teachers who played such a huge role in turning Gabe into a FANTASTIC reader but having met next year's second grade teacher, we are confident for another fabulous year at Mililani Waena. Now we have arrived at the first official day of summer vacation and it just isn't as exciting as yesterdays treat fest. I'm nerding it up on the computer, Isom has been spraying ant poison around the outside of the house, and Gabe is playing a math space invader game on his computer...this family needs to get outdoors.
