Birthdays are Us

Did you miss whose birthday is was yesterday?
Me too.
"If I only had a brain."
Birthday yesterday.
And another one tomorrow.

Happy belated 12th birthday to Roo!
Happy early 8th birthday to Dave!

note to self: remember to change that on my sidebar....

I have always been mindful to celebrate their birthdays separately.
Due to circumstances beyond our control we asked the boys if they would mind doing it on the same day this year.
They agreed.
Yeah?!
Let me just say I really appreciate having a day between to make cake.
I'm just saying.
I was up until 11 last night making cakes.
"If I only had a brain....."
I got Roo's cake in the pan then swiped a little taste from the bowl.
My face scrunched.
Another taste.
"It tastes like.... box...."
I forgot the oil.
So I scraped it out of the pan.
Back into the mixer bowl.
Added the oil.
It's a box cake for crying out loud.
It only requires 3 extra ingredients.
"If I only had a brain...."

I got all the cakes finished before the little get together today.
No party.
One friend a piece.
Ordered pizza.
That's all my brain can possibly handle.
"If I only had a brain."


When Anna saw the cakes this morning she said, "Mom, the cakes look awesome. You are a frosting artist!"
That was so sweet.
Much sweeter than any cake!

Andrew designed his own cake.
I just made it happen.

It only took 3 trips to Kroger yesterday.....
"If I only had a brain....."




Dave wanted an Ironman cake.
I think it turned out very well.
My favorite part--it's red velvet cake!
Just thought it would be fitting.

May Roo and Dave grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.
