Frog Party

It has been a LONG day and this mom is beat, but I have a few quiet moments to blog, since EVERYONE hit the hay early.

Today we had some of the family over for a birthday celebration for Ash.

We had a frog theme for our little "Prince Charming"

We all love to have our loved one over, whenever we can!

We think everyone enjoyed their Kalua and Rice

And a chance to break the FROG pinata

Ash enjoyed some playtime with his cute cousin, Kaiya

But even more...
He LOVED his cake!
At first he just stared at it, not sure what to do
But once he just dove into it, he thought that was pretty tasty stuff!
(didn't care so much for ice cream-but maybe it was just
a little too cold for those baby fingers!

Here was the FROG cake mommy made.
We also had green, frosted cupcakes WITH a plastic frog on top
which the kids all loved!
(the cake alone would never feed a crowd of about 40)
this cake was actually pretty fun to make, much easier than the princess castle cake I made last year, for Ame. It was chocolate w/mint frosting.
**We even found fruit roll-ups WITH flies, for the tongue**

I like to check out coolcakes.com for good ideas

Once again Ash...we love you and can't believe you have already been apart of our family for a whole year! Where has the time gone???

Progress

Quinn and his brother spent about 6 hours working on the playset. Notice this box...1 of 3. I would say THAT is about how much

progress was made on the set up. Here's is how far they got
And here are some random other parts that got put together.

Quinn's brother coming up was the motivation for Quinn to work

on this thing (and the fact that he finally had some free time).

Now that the work week is starting again, maybe QUinn will be

hiring a "handy man" to come finish the job!

(too bad my dad isn't around to BE that handy man.

We could sure use you about now dad!!!!!!!)
