Birthday Madness

First came Mother's Day.  Next day we celebrated Michael's birthday and the next it was Grace's big day.  By the end of it all I was barely functioning.

Michael opening his gifts.  Nothing really interesting to anyone but him.  But he seemed happy.  This was the first birthday in years I didn't buy him something for his bike. 

Michael requested Mango Sticky Rice for dessert.  Heaven in a bowl.  The kids don't enjoy it but that just means more for us!

Tuesday Grace asked for a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for her birthday.  I decided to go the easy route and had the kids make a wacky cake.  We can mix it right in the pan.  It seemed it would be less messy, but I must have temporarily forgotten I have four children who would want to help mix. 

Flip flops

and a bike bell!

And her very own chair,

and inline skates!  Talk about a spoiled four year old plus one mom who was very glad to crawl into bed.
