Birthday Boy
So here's the skinny on the birthday party (because you were all dying to know - right?) In any case, here goes:
Galoot made SERIOUS hors d'ouevres. Some sort of feta, walnut, garlic dip with toasted pitas, a TASTY pasta salad, creamy salsa with cilantro, and of course, a Galoot/Preppy favorite, sliced baguette with brie (it took him a long tiem to make that brie!). To top it off, he ALSO baked a carrot cake! Yes, he's definitely up for father/husband of the year. I pitched in on the cake a bit and the end result you'll see below:
Okay, a professional cake decorator I'm not, but my son loved it so - WORD!
The list of gifts included a most excellent bouquet of ballons (courtesy of Princess Slea & family), a De-luxe Buzz Lightyear action figure (that my kids have been fighting over for two days) and a new bike courtesy of Papa (my dad).
And, as is always the best part, we had leftovers for dinner last night. Since the kids weren't interested (what? kids not interested in feta and brie?) I let them have apple jacks for dinner. Does that make me a bad mom?
Happy Birthday Petey!

The cake turned out great. Word.
I am very impressed with Galoot's party preparation abilities.

Sounds like quite the party. My son would SO love that balloon with the trucks and planes. On his birthday, I couldn't find any truck balloons, so we went with Bob the Builder (which did have a truck on it).

Great looking cake - there's nothing like "home made", and it's even better if it's made by father and carrot cake is the bestest! With lots of icing!!!
One lucky boy! Great loving parents willing to make the effort - good on you!

Carrot cake with a middle of cream cheese filling, with a homemmade raspberry jam spread (courtesy of my Moms) whipped cream frosting topping (whisked by my favorite Kitchen Aid hand mixer).
PGirl handled all of the cake construction, facade and detailing - very well, I might add.

R- Yes, Galoot does have some redeeming qualities. Go figure.
3C - The Balloons were a big hit. All the kids played with them all day.
SPaw - we did have fun making the cake and boy was it tasty!
Galoot - thanks for the props. It was a team effort baby!

One of my favorite memories as a child was having cereal for dinner, it was AWESOME and to this day is one of my favorite comfort foods.
My WV for today is oilbug, a mechanic perhaps?

Cake and cereal for dinner sounds like my idea of a great birthday!
