Happy belated birthday to mommy!

All the boys, big and small, made a cake today for my birthday. All four of them bellied up to the center island and added their own love to make a wonderful cake... well, Dunkin Hines probably had some to do with it too.

During the process, Steve turned away to get some oil and Collin reached into the bowl and grabbed a handful of dry cake mix which he quickly shoved into his mouth. You could tell that he wasn't quite sure he liked it once it was there and just kind of held it in his mouth for a while, but then ate it nonetheless. Here's an after the fact photo (oh yea, I ran and got the camera!)...


Here is a photo of the boys helping daddy...

And here's my little masked man icing the cake (btw, the light blue thing around his neck - that's a bib that he put on backwards as a cape)...
Oh yes, and partaking in the licking of the spreader.

And all enjoying the cake.

Collin shoving a big piece of cake into his mouth...
Finger licking good...
Taking a cue from his big brother Ethan...
Proud indeed...

Oliver wasn't so sure. He ate some of it and left some. Collin, despite the looks of things (I think he was performing for my birthday), didn't eat it all either. Now, as for the other two kids... it was gone!

Thanks for the yummy cake... and more importantly, the fun memories.

p.s. yes, in case you are wondering... it was a pj day for the kids (all four)... sometimes you just need those, especially after late nights.
