Aidan's birthday was on a Wednesday this year which is one of his "school days", so we made cupcakes with green icing (to go with the color of the week). They turned out wonderfully and were so yummy. And yes, I snuck some zucchini in there with all the chocolate goodness.
It was an odd day because I received the news of my Grandpa's passing as we were packing up to go to school. So, I was in a weird mood, feeling sadness, relief, stress from being late to school, and joy over the birthday celebration.
Nora loved that she got to sit with the "big" kids and have a cupcake too. It was super sweet and she got chocolate all over her face and dress.
After a busy morning at school, we came home, ate our lunch and took a nap up until it was time to pick up my mom (Mimi) from the airport. The kids were absolutely elated to see her.
After dinner, we gave Aidan his big birthday present from my parent's: a big boy bike! We found a steal on Craigslist yet again. He was thrilled and is now into going super fast up and down the street (hence the helmet).
i've never thought about it that way when it's layne's birthday. good thought.
