Cupcaking

cupcakes from 3.2008, Cel's 1st birthday party

Have you heard the word "cupcaking"? According to People Magazine (Dear Internet, I know about reliable sources. This is my blog. I don't have to justify my bibliography to cyberspace.) this new expression means getting back to basics and being joyful, appreciating the simpler things in life.
Although occasionally we lose sight of the simple, joyful things, in general the four of us are fairly proficient cupcakers. Sometimes, none of us gets dressed till well after noon. We spend time together on blankets on the floor, babies, parents, dog, playing with toys and with each other. We stroll to the library, or to the local ice cream shop, once we've gotten dressed, of course. We nap together in the backyard hammock. We sing along, uninhibited, to the radio, or make up songs of our own. We sip sweet sun tea, steeped on the back deck, and fill the mantle and the windowsills with flowers dunked in mason jars and old soda bottles.
In fact, now that I think about it, perusing People Magazine might even qualify as cupcaking, too.
How do you cupcake?
