The girls got up early (as usual) and we prepared a big birthday breakfast for Jim. After breakfast, the girls and I made his birthday cake. At times I think I must be slightly insane to let a two year old and four year old loose with whipped cream and a multitude of sprinkles....the clean up was more extensive than the actual cake prep (and the prep took a while). No pictures of cake decorating this year. My hands were full. I'm not sure why it was more chaotic than usual, but it was.
After the cake decorating and clean up, it was time to get Jim's dinner started (we had bbq ribs tonight). Then it was time to pack up a picnic lunch for the girls and we headed out to the pool for the last day of summer swimming at the neighborhood pool.
Then back for a nap and the rest of Jim's birthday dinner prep. Then, finally dinner and the grand finale....a spectacular fireball of a cake! More candles every year. Next year, we're going straight for a bonfire.
I don't know if you've noticed a theme about Jim's birthdays....Jim's got a lot of really young friends ;-) The kids seem to outnumber the adults at his party every year.
