… I am actually a day late on this post. Yesterday, my sweet, adoring husband celebrated his birthday. He took his time, had breakfast with the family, then we rushed to give him a ride to work. Fridays we go to the library for Babies and Books, so I took the kids there after dropping of the birthday Daddy.

After lunch, I attempted to organize my afternoon so that I could focus on baking the cake and preparing for a quiet but sweet family celebration. My three and a half year old had different plans, but that is a whole other post. Finally I had one kid sleeping, the other bathing and I focused on the cake. I was thrilled that it worked out so well. I made a chocolate sponge cake from a book I received at my bridal shower, many moons ago. The icing did not turn out as well, however J saved the day and purchased some on his way home (still counts as a homemade, from scratch cake, even with cheats!) I also baked chicken wings and threw together a Greek salad (all my sweeties favourites). I was so happy with the entire meal. J was delighted and appreciated the effort which is the icing on the cake

The kids and I gave J some books and an IOU a Scarf I actually casted on the scarf last night so hopefully he will be able to use it this winter *blush* Becca was very excited to share in the birthday celebrations (the cause of her malfunction earlier?) and Ethan thought the candles were quite the magical feat.

Once the kids were in bed we watched the oddest movie, I (heart) huckabees. Very odd.

Yesterday was so busy for me, I have a ton of email and blogs to attend to this weekend. J has the kids out this morning. It is so quiet here. I hope to go exploring this afternoon. My mind is racing. Too quiet here.
