The Lego Boy

We have had a lot of Birthdays to celebrate this summer!
Actually the number has not changed . . .
it's just that all those birthday people were home . . . giving us an excuse
 for a lot of parties.

 

Julene and I talked about ideas for Paeton's birthday cake and it was easy to come up with a Lego theme. He is the best Lego assembler for his age that I have seen! After checking out some options I realized that I happened to have just the right candles and offered to look for the  Lego guys to hold up those candles. I did not find such a package, so we decided to use them from his stash.

 

On the day I went to help her, it was one of the hottest days of the summer. As I was trying to show her how easy it is to frost the cake, the frosting kept sliding down. At first I thought it was because I was using an unfamiliar recipe. Finally I blurted out,

 

 "It's just so HOT in here!"  . . .

 to which she replied, "It is?" You could tell what she is used to!
 So . . . for the first time since living here she went and turned on the A/C
that the house - they are renting from her brother - comes with.
He'd most likely just shake his head.

 

After the house and this mp Grammy cooled down a bit . . . and I had totally scraped off the icing, I started all over again. We snipped off the wicks on the Happy candles and placed them. Then she placed the Lego guys . . . eight of them . . . the perfect number to hold the Birthday candles. She finished it off with lego candy and the smile we got was worth it all.

 

What fun to see you blow out those candles, Paet!
