Get Angry


Good thing he didn't want anything elaborate.  Guess I was kind of stuck after Natalie's dancing princess art tea party.  Anyway it was fun to make such a fancy cake - - I see more in my future or if I'm lucky next year the kids will just want money instead of a party.  I can dream anyway.  Just in case you're wondering as you get to the end there, yes, that is a spiderman pinata.  It was requested by the birthday boy.  Last year a Thomas the Train party with a baseball cake and this year an Angry Birds party with a spiderman pinata.  What's up with that?

 




 
 Doug made his own party music mix and desperately wanted to do the Chicken Dance.  I aim to please one day a year.  Special thanks to all the adults who joined in.  Oh wait that's right, they all just stared at me like I was on drugs.  Thanks again for that.

Science Rules


A few weeks before the science fair Doug saw an episode of the the Aquabats Super Show that was all about - you guessed it, science.  That really wet his appetite to do a science project and after giving him several choices he chose to test how much water diapers will hold, or in his words which diaper will be the winner.  Although I must admit he was a little bit wary about what the fruits of his labors would be...

"Well, if I do this will I get a ribbon?"
"Yes."
"What color will it be?"
"I think it will be white."
"I only want a blue one."

Competitive much?  Glad he had a good experience and got a blue ribbon, but just in case he didn't Grandma sent one to slip him.  Someday we'll let him live in the real world but for now he gets the kids fantasy treatment.
