My family is like a herd of deer.
I say that because we have so many Spring babies. The birthdays have seemed endless, and there haven't even been parties for some of them. Let's do a run down of the ones who have had parties. Henry's niece Olivia starts it off with her February birthday, which isn't really Spring yet, but it's close enough. Then we're done until March when Kinsley picks it back up. My niece's birthday just a week later, then my nephew's a week after that, then a double slam a week later with my mother and Jonas on the same day! It literally has been a birthday party every weekend for a month, and I'm sick of cake. I'm sick of making cake, I'm definitely sick of icing cake, and I may even be a little sick of eating cake. I didn't even lick the mixer, the bowl, or the spatula this last round. I made 2 boxes of cake mix for Kinsley's birthday, 1 box for Jonas' class cupcakes (ugh, more cupcakes) and 3, yes 3 boxes of cake mix for his birthday party! I am just thankful that Betty Crocker makes it easy, as I am not putting forth the effort for from scratch cake for kid birthdays. I will post pics of his birthday cake(s) after the party tomorrow, and you will see why it took so many boxes of cake mix. I'm not even sure the cake will taste good because of my baking pan choice, but the real point is that it looks cool! Seriously, that's my main goal here. I wanna continue to be the "cool" mom, that is if I currently hold that title. Honestly, I'm just glad that I don't have to make any more birthday cake until Colin's birthday in August, followed by Henry's birthday less than 2 weeks later. I look very forward to MY birthday which is a week before Colin's because my mom will bake ME my favorite cake that I do not know how to make. I suppose I could learn, but that would kill the splendor. Just for the record, it's a 3 layer coconut cake with filling between the layers, and this fluffy sugary frosting with coconut sprinkled on it. Mmmm, I usually eat so much of it I get sick. It's a good thing that I have all summer to prepare, as it will probably take me until then to be in the mood for more cake.
