It's 7:00 in the morning. I've been up since 5:00 putting the first colors on a "Hello Kitty" cake for my little niece, "Amelia's" birthday party. For her birthday, she got a trip to Cape Cod with her Mother; a special trip for her, since her sister had to stay home. So we are happy to have Rosemary and Amelia, but are missing Jay and Maggie. The white and pink are done and I just have the details to go... not sure how I'm going to do the black outlines yet... It's hard to make black frosting and the gunk that comes in those tubes are disgusting.Yesterday was a fun day all around. It started with Max's Soccer game and it turned out to be a special one for him. He scored 2 goals, had two assists and when he was goaltending, he stopped 4 hard shots on the net. All the kids looked great, and it was nice to see it all come together for the last game of the season.
Sophie and Amelia played and played, putting on "shows" in the garage and passing out "tickets" for us to come watch them on scooters, doing tricks and hamming around. Later we found a wood frog (Rana sylvatica) by the side of the house. It was pretty big for the frogs we find around here, the biggest of all the frogs we've seen. The girls, for whatever reason, didn't really care about it, but Max was into it. He tried to catch it, but whenever the frog jumped, Max "jumped," and he could never catch it. Or when he DID catch it, it hopped right out of his hands. I finally snatched the thing and passed it around, but still the girls didn't want to hold it. Go figure. (click photo to see a larger size)
