August Birthdays

Paislee turned three at the beginning of the month.  We had birthday party in the park which the kids took full advantage of, preferring to play on the play set rather then eat supper, cake or participate in the other parts that makes a birthday party, included the birthday girl.  




These very nice photos are not mine.  My camera doesn't take great photos anymore and Lorene edits these. 

One of her presents was a set of hair do-dads and between that and her new bike, she didn't want any other presents.  Seeing that, her great grandma said, "next time we don't need to get so many."







Barry is 8 now.  I made the mistake of telling him about the rainbow cake I made for Lynette's birthday one time several years ago.  He called a couple of days before the party asking if I would made a rainbow cake for him.  
So I did.
The one I made for Lynette was in October not one of the hottest weeks of the summer in August.  I only had a few problems. I put one layer in the wrong order and it broke in half when I took it off. While frosting between the layers, the layers wanted to slip and I ended up with something that looked more like the Leaning Tower of Pisa than a birthday cake. I did get it straightened out with the help of the fridge.  Then I kept it downstairs in the cooler basement until the party. 






This is what Barry thinks about the present from me.  He knows what's in it, it's what he asked for, and one of his favorite things. 
Ensure.
