Happy May Birthdays!

May is usually crazy month here, what with mothers day, Willow and Zane's birthday, other family birthdays and "Joe Peterson Day" (last Sunday of the month - celebrate it with a Joe Peterson you love!) We waffled and waffled about what to do for Willow's celebration. I just didn't have it in me to even do cupcakes in the park for her class, so we just had cake with her Daisy troop after a meeting. She prefers whipped cream to frosting, but I've learned that m&ms candy coating melts in whipped cream (though still not in your hand) So she ended up with a wierd tyedyed cake studded with grey nubbins. Sadly, no pictures ;(

Zane just had a little family party, and sadly his cake turned out ugly too...but it tasted great, lemon cake with lemon frosting and filled with fresh strawberries from the farmer's market. The big hit of the presents was his little wooden train set. Bedtime became very tearfull and echoing with calls of "more choo-choo, more choo-choo" for a while. He also got a trike, though it is a bit big for him, it was still very exciting!
