What a fun day, but it didn't start out fun - was really hectic!!!
I got to sleep in a little . . . 7:30 is sleeping in these days, ha. In preparing for the day, we had to make a quick run to Walmart - we did pretty good and was on schedule.
Today was the 1st day of our sport season, both boys had games around the same time.
So because James is coaching football, he took Caleb and I took Christopher.
James then took Caleb to his football practice for 10:30 and I ran to Trader Joe's for Christopher
special Hot Dogs. I ran home to assemble the little BBQ we just bought and finish
gathering the stuff for Christopher's birthday party.
We didn't stay home long, because Christopher had his 1st T-Ball game and he was SOOOOOO excited.
Here he is on 3rd base - not too much happens here
His turn to bat . . .
After the game, we rush home to get the rest of birthday stuff ready and wait for James and Caleb.
For those who don't know, Christopher has MANY food allergies, so every birthday, I have to be very creative on what kind of cake I will make him. This year, he was into dinosaurs, so I thought about making him a volcano cake using watermelons.
Before:
the next step
the beginning of the lava - i used fruit rollup. I cut it into strips and layered it all around
I made this the night before so that the rollup can harden
Here's the finished product! I added fruit around the bottom, then embellished it with dinosaurs, trees and rocks.
probably my favorite picture of the day ;)
Christopher and his friends.
Happy Birthday Christopher!!!! Already 5 years old ;)
Although, it was very windy today, it was perfect!!!
Had a great day with friends & family, celebrating our little man's turning 5
