Happy birthday to my first born. He turned 7 on January 24th 2011. The lucky guy had baba bring doughnut muffins to his class and then had Pasta pomodoro, his favorite restaurant, for dinner and that was it. One present when he got home. My plan was "less is more" but the lego store and build a bear the day before proved that wasn't actually true. Then more guilt and I am having a few of his classmates over today for a little get together and some cake. No big deal but a reason to get the house really clean. Right? Oh I tried to bake a cake last night and I added double the water from one cup to two and freaked out and started throwing stuff in and baked it anyways and it worked. Not much flavor but I think with lots of frosting it might be ok. My Betty crocker days are behind me.

It makes me sad to announce that as of January 8th 2011, that I do not have a baby anymore. I know that really happened last year when he turned 2 but I love babies. Here he is with his homemade chocolate and peppermint cake. I will be the one crying in the corner.

Last satuday was a beautiful day so after K took his nap we went to the beach. Mind you it was 3:30 already but what the hell! It was M loves bday weekend. The water was colder than anything you could imagine. The waves were huge, little did I know it was the mavericks weekend. I actually think I would have died if I went in past my ankles. But it didn't stop the kids the first or second time but after the third helping of cold ass ocean water they decided it was too cold and a game of tag ensued. It was hilarious as big B is slowing down in his old age and M love is skinny and fast. Here is a pic of poor K doing a backwards spead eagle airplane while being chased. His positions changed as he was being used as the "ball" in this game of keep away. But he loved it. We all did.
