The Birthday Cake Finally, my MIA voice and 15C in March!

Due to circumstances beyond my control, we waited 2wks to have MJ's birthday party. I started baking the cake yesterday morning and it was ready for lunch but we went out driving and came home and had it for supper. MJ is now 1yr and 2wks old so he totally looks 1 now. While we were out driving we picked up MJ's birthday gift, it's a Fisher Price dinosaur thing that uses the Rollem's the ball like peekabloks,it was a hit, TJ and AJ couldn't be removed from it's entertaining "pull" (eye roll). It amazes me that a 6.5yr old would be interested in a toy rated for 6m+. I'm guessing it's the "newness" factor more than the toy itself?
So on went the day, a nice Sunday drive, a trip to the BulkBarn to pick up the candy that would finish off the cake, I used licorice for the eyes and a different Licorice for the mouth, and Miffy was the cake of choice. MJ loves to dance when Miffy comes on TV, he has no interest in the show only the song for the start and end of the program, but hey it's something for a mom to say "OK this will be a birthday cake idea!"
I'm sure there are others out there that can do a better job on evening out icing but I'm still learning that technique. Actually TJ said he didn't want the icing, so I scraped his off before I put piece in his lunch today with his leftovers from supper. That made lunch making super easy today.

As for the voice, well that's still MIA ,today is 30days since I last heard my own voice, but it's getting better. I can't "eeee, eee, eee" like a Monkey or "aahahahaha" for "no don't touch that" but soon if I keep my mouth shut it will come back. Yes you heard it from me myself and I, I talk too much.
OK I'm off to enjoy the day. OH must also mention it was 15C yesterday! Yes it was the 12th of March, and my rink is a swamp and I can almost see small "GREEN" blades of grass popping up over the Very well watered lawn. "DH" is getting a bit nervous that his lawnmower isn't completely back in one piece and ready for a full season of lawnmowing fun after I pointed out the little green bits but a 15C day is a good day to get the finishing touches on that job!
