Nonetheless, Ellie was thrilled that by the time we woke up this morning Joshua was OFFICIALLY five and all festivities were legitimate.
Although the photo doesn't quite capture it, I loved the look on Ellie and Joshua's face as Luke wheeled in Joshua's birthday present. I absolutely love when my kids get so excited for each other.
Why I didn't take the camera downstairs and outside with me while Joshua wheeled around on his new bike at 7:30am probably had something to do with me in my bathrobe not wanting to bring too much attention to myself.
Joshua was thrilled to take cupcakes and head off to pre-school and I was thankful to have one less person in the background while working on his "Lightning McQueen Racecar Number 5 cake" he requested. It's nothing fancy. But that's what I'm resigning myself to.
As for Drew.
Well yeah-I had to make a slight compromise for taking his Lightning McQueen and Mater toys for the cake and then telling him no, he could not drive them around on the "track". So I let him eat frosting from the container.
It's what any good mother would do in those same circumstances, right?
Here's hoping the cake survives until 4pm today.
Happy Birthday Joshua!

Eating the frosting out of the can to pacify a child is what I would do, so it must be what any good mother would do! ;)
We are birthday-ing today too and did the cast the same week as you. Looks like we are having some twin experiences in the mom dept. Happy Birthday-ing!
Happy Birthday Joshua, hope he has a fabulous day and loves his cake. What a great job you did and I would definitely have given the frosting tub to keep the younger one happy too. Well they would have had to share it with me as well ;)
Here's to simplifying life...and cake decorating! Happy Birthday Joshua
I'm laughing because I recognize Drew's underwear! We have the same kind at our house. They are too small, but Hudson still has to wear them. I need to find the bigger size. Cute boys in their undies. :o)
