Yikes! Today was Alex's 6th birthday, though he informed me he didn't feel any different from 5.
He wanted Pad Thai for dinner (beams with pride, his mother does), so we packed up the ingredients and our rather large wok & had Southeast Asian food with his grandparents.
Peanut butter cake, with milk chocolate frosting. Songs were sung, flames were extinguished (rather saliva-free, thankfully).
The cake; it was happily consumed.
And among the gifts? This very nifty Superman jacket!! Yes, he wants to be Batman, but that doesn't mean he can't like Supes, too.
Happy Birthday, little man. Stop growing up so fast, will ya?
This month, we're sleeping in a little late, but the party won't suffer...we're having Brunch!

- The Giant (birthday) Chocolate Chip Cookie
Taken to school so Alex could celebrate his birthday...again. To my surprise, more than half came back. What am I supposed to with it? This month, we're sleeping in a little late, but the party won't suffer...we're having Brunch! RSVP...
- Scenes From A Party...in Space
From Alex's party yesterday; the theme was outer space and yes, he dressed as Mars' most famous son, J'onn J'onzz. He was trying to look all serious, and super-hero-y here. With the mask...which was pretty nifty. Live-Action Comics!...
- Look! It's An Unweildy Fondant Object!
Because spring break begins at almost the exact same time as Alex's birthday, and just about every classmate jets off to some fabulous location leaving him with virtually no party guests, we've learned to move his birthday party up a week. Yes,...
- Peanutbutter Chocolate Chunk Cookies As Stress Relief
Sometimes, all you can do is bake. One of the easiest cookie recipes I've come across, and so good. Soft, fragrantly peanut butter-y. They're for a few friends of mine; I can't do what they do, but I can bake. So, DP, Sere, et al? Help yourselves....
- Fallen Heroes
My original plan for Alex's birthday cake was to create candy (wafer chocolate) heroes to place on the tiers. They came out pretty good, I like to think. However, as I discovered around one in the morning...day of party...that they were just too...
