Birthday fun and flower child...

We've had a few birthdays lately; Jack turned 3 and Maxine turned 6. Maxine wanted a turkey cake for her 'friend' party. I thought the cupcakes were fun (nothing compared to Amy's beautiful cakes but fun!)
For the family parties, Jack wanted a chocolate cake and Maxine wanted a cheesecake. Jack's my chocolate monster. It was the one thing that would make him scream and cry as a baby. Since he (and I) were deprived for his first year, I think he's made it a personal goal to spend the rest of his life making up for it.
Maxine received some flower barrettes from one of her friends and Jack thought they were funny. Sometimes I feel bad he spends his days with all girls.

We made some carmel popcorn balls too. Juliet liked them the best and carried this one around for a long time. She was a sticky, gooey mess towards the end. She'd drooled on it so much that the popcorn had dissolved and left a mass of carmel. I can't blame her though, I love them too!
