Birthday Boy

Michael has been asking for weeks how many days were left until his birthday. So, you can imagine the excitement when the day finally came. He's my big 5 year old now (sniffle). I have to admit feeling mixed emotions about that. On the one hand, he's getting to that independant age where Mommy doesn't need to help as much... and on the other hand, he's getting to that independant age where Mommy doesn't need to help as much! The big hit of the day was the Hot Wheels Stunt track from Grandma and Grandpa Goostrey. He had a hard time putting it down for bed.

So I can do a few domestic things. Looking up an easy cake to make on the internet is one of them!

What you can't see in this picture is the mass of little fingers that attacked the cake as soon as the candles went out. It was like a tornado of hot wheels, candles, and frosting!
