Life is a blur from late October through late January. Holidays and events come at us one after another and sometimes in groups. With young kids in the house there is a certain degree of insanity that occurs from Halloween through Christmas and in our house we are further blessed with both kids having birthdays in January. Yes, insanity from October through the last weekend of January. Fun!
We are in the home stretch. We enjoyed the holidays and are moving towards the birthdays. How are they turning 2 and 6? That absolutely amazes me. The time has gone so quickly but yet it seems I’ve been a mom for a long time now. They are a blessing and are so much fun. They throw us curves but they bring so much joy. But I still have to pull off their birthdays. It always catches me off guard even though I know they are there.
The theme for K this year is under the sea. He wants a cake shaped like a 6 with 2 divers a shark and an octopus. Specificity is good, but daunting. For those who don’t know, the reason it is daunting is because I have to actually produce said cake due to K’s food allergies. Allergies are another post for another day but they are always a part of our daily life.
So, here I am trying to figure out how to create this masterpiece. I set the bar high last year with his rainforest cake. Safari Ltd Rainforest Toob provided the accessories quite nicely for me. I’ve not yet found a comparable under the sea set. I’m leaning towards buying Playmobil Divers in Tropical Reef.
Thankfully T is too young to really care. His cake will be Elmo, or Mehmo as he would say :-) They are growing up so quickly.
I always forget that our kids are almost exactly the same age. R turns 6 on the 28th and E turns 2 in March.
ReplyDeleteWe are taking the easy way out this year. We are taking R to Great Wolf for his birthday. Have fun.
Happy birthday to R and E, Joy! I didn't realize their b-days were so close.
