Twenty Seven

What a fabulous day to start a blog. Yesterday was my 27th Birthday. The day was wonderful. I hope you like the pictures. It started with Kiss and presents. Bug and Bear picked out some very interesting nail polish colors. Bug chose dark blue, and Bear chose bright Yellow.

Make a wish because I have two helpers making it come true every day!

The Famous Tradition of the Birthday Pancake!

For those of you who don't know our special family tradition, I will tell you. Two years ago I had just gotten divorced and moved back to Arizona. Bug was getting ready to have his 2nd Birthday and Bear was 7 months old :) (close together....I know). I wanted his birthday to be perfect. We had little means but I was determined! On the morning of his Birthday I went to the fridge to make him a cake (probably a dunken hines or betty crocker style). Well....the recipe called for 3 eggs. I looked in our refrigerator and to my dismay there was only one egg. ONE EGG!!!! Oh no!!!! How was I going to make my son's birthday perfect without 3 eggs. Our impoverished state had left me with no means to purchase eggs, much to my dismay. I was sad, but turned that sadness into resourcefulness. I knew that Pancakes only took one egg. So.....I decided to make a birthday pancake for my little Bug. I inserted two candles, slathered on some peanut butter for a little icing effect, lit the candles, sang happy birthday, and ended up with a favorite family tradition.
