The six days between May 7 and May 13 are some of the longest, craziest, hectic, bad days of the year. They are the worst 6 days every year since about 2004, when Matthew started realizing what his birthday was and what it meant. You see, Emily's birthday is May 7, Trent's birthday is May 8, Mother's day almost always falls right after their birthdays, and Matthew's birthday is May 13. Plus, it is prom season which means that most Friday and Saturday nights in May Trent is out until real late, photographing couples for local high school proms. And he also usually schedules himself to be out at one of the local high schools during this week to start photographing the rising seniors to get a jump on next year. Now, keep in mind that this is all good stuff but having it come all at once can be a little taxing!!
So, rather than trying to get the house looking presentable enough to have family over for birthday dinners during the week, Trent and I decided that we would celebrate Emily and Matthew's birthday on the Saturday in between. Matthew had a t-ball game this morning and Trent has a prom tonight so we decided to do a lunch barbecue. Matthew requested a "Mike Wazowski" (the little green monster from Monster's, Inc. I am sure that I spelled that wrong!) cake and Emily wanted a cake with the number 10 on it. Pictures follow:
The "Mike" cake...
Emily turned 10 this year. Trent is old enough to have a 10-year-old daughter; I am most definitely NOT! She wanted a cake that marked her transition into double-digits! :-)
And who could forget Molly Moose! She is the only one who doesn't have a special event during this period in May and she handles it like a little trooper! I think she was just excited to get cake!
