A Sugary B-day + A New Friend

So yesterday, my now five-year old started his day with whip cream and a candle on his pankcakes.

Then he had frosted cookies to share at school.

And for dessert? A VERY lop-sided giant cupcake. With green sprinkles. a.k.a The Leaning Tower of cupcake. It simply defies the laws of gravity, doesn’t it?

Don’t worry, it was still tasty and the sugar over-loaded child didn’t go to bed until almost 10 p.m.Mostly because he was still hyped up about his new friend and our new family member, “Sweepie” the hamster. Don’t ask where the critter’s name came from, I have no idea…
And a side note to my lovely husband – please don’t try to get him out of his cage in the middle of the kitchen and then drop him on the floor while we all scream as he scampers to and fro because he’s so darn fast and you can’t catch him and then I have visions of him getting stepped on or running under something never to be found again. Thank you. Not that this really happened or anything…
