Birthday Boy

Paul had his fourth birthday. A couple weeks ago I asked him what kind of cake he wanted and he replied, "a bird cake with a fox on it." HUH? I couldn't determine if this was something he saw walking by a bakery in a grocery store or if it was from his imagination. So I took him to a bakery and let him flip through the cake binder. He wanted every cake he saw, naturally. No bird cake in the binder though. He was stuck on a Tinker Bell cake (heaven help me I'm thinking) until he saw Spiderman (my saving grace). Spiderman it is, and the cake was so easily duplicated that I decided to do it myself. TA DAH!

Spiderman party with sticky hands, silly string, and rubber spiders. The kids were happy, and Paul had a blast. After all the kids left the party Paul was complaining that he was cold. The only times that happens is when he's sick. Sure enough he ran a fever for the next few days. Poor kid sat on the couch not feeling well on his birthday. At least he had a good time at the party.
