Then we put the children to work! It was a good work day in that it wasn't cold or raining. So we watered our garden plants and the new grass and cleaned the screened-in porch and got the house all clean. Stephen did get time to play some games with Aaron in the basement while I worked on his birthday supper and cake.It turned out to be a hot May 26th for us - 82 degrees. I should have frosted the cake earlier in the day because it was hard to frost it when the house was so warm. But finally I managed to get it done to Stephen's satisfaction. It's a light saber cake.
Since it was going to be hot, I made a cool jello salad.
We had another family over for dinner and cake and of course, presents. It was a fun birthday party for Stephen - light saber fights in the woods and then playing games in the basement.

Yay, what fun!
Does everyone get chocolate chip pancakes for birthday breakfast, or do they get to choose and that's the most common choice?
excellent execution of the light saber cake!
Once everyone knew about the possibility of chocolate chip pancakes, it is their common choice for the birthday breakfast.
Plus, we never have them any days but on a birthday so they remain a special treat.
love the picture of Stephen opening his game. isn't that the reaction we parents love to see?!
perfect. or, to quote the commercial, priceless.
a cool cake, by the way, and even cooler jello.
he's growing into a good young man, stephen is. it's amazing how quickly they're growing up.
