Kris got up early and made Sandy his special birthday breakfast of waffles. Pumpkin waffles.
And he ate them with a flock of toys attending of course. Mostly Octonauts. And Darth Vader.
It was pretty sweet of Kris to make this crazy kid his requseted breakfast. Since of course though it's Sandy's birthday it's just another super busy work day for the rest of us!
Sandy had school that morning, and so did Max. Or so we thought for Max anyway. I got everybody dropped off and I was back at home prepping to make Sandy's cake when I got a call from Max's teacher. A pipe had burst in the school and there was 3 inches of freezing water covering the floor of the school. Evidently all the kids were standing outside freezing. So I got right back in the car and picked up Max and a friend and brought them home. THEN I got started on cake and wrapping presents. After Sandy pickup it pretty much took me all day to get the cake and the rest done between Lucy and everything else.
But besides a slightly crooked number four on top, the cake turned out really good looking, so it was worth all the hard work.
But of course it was worth the hard work, I mean look at this face! He made a special request for another m&m cake. I made him a cake with m&ms on it for his 2nd birthday and he's wanted one every year ever since. This time he requested a chocolate cake with white frosting, but I couldn't get the frosting to be white so we went with yellow instead.
He was very pleased. And so adorable and excited with all the birthday attention. He's so cute with his little hair wings. Hypnotized by the candles.
In this scene we were doing ichat with Grandma I think, she was watching him blow out the candles.
And here are some of the rest of us. Lucy was happy to be an audience to the birthday fun.
Sandy got some fun Star Wars and Octonaut presents. An R2D2 jacket and hat was not the least of these. I'm hoping it'll encourage him to actually wear a jacket as it gets colder and colder.
And here's the cute toy that Max picked out for Sandy after much deliberation. More octonauts to add to his collection. Quazi and the Gup C I think.
It was a great day with a happy cute little boy. The next morning he woke up and asked me two important questions.
1. "Is it still my birthday?"
2. "Am I five now?"

Laughed all the way through it - with delight. That face. Holy cats. I will never get over it. And Lucy with the light sparkling in her eyes. Blessed children - I am so grateful that they are able to be children and to live in a world of peace. Soon enough, they will be us and have their faces splattered with borrowed and immediate realities. You have done a lovely job building that world for them. It makes me feel like I might not have done so badly myself. How wonderful that Grandma got to be there for the party, if only in that tiny screen. What an amazing thing.
I remember the M&M cake when he was little now. Right now, I only want peppermint cookies - but it still looks yummy.
