A Rundown on the Birthday Fun
These are the Penguin cupcakes I made and took to Grayson's class yesterday. We decided on the penguins because a)they were cute and b)this is letter "p" week for his class. Even though one little boy asked why we were eating owls, the cupcakes were still a hit!
Grayson got to be king for the day, and do all kinds of special things. He cracked his classmates up when his teacher gave him his birthday spankings (she used a big stuffed hand on a stick, and patted him really softly). When she gave him "one to grow on" she wound up like she was going to hit him really hard, and when she patted him on the bottom, he went flying through the air and landed on his hands and knees. His classmates were howling with laughter!
After school, we went to Chick-fil-a for lunch, and I let the boys play in the indoor playground for almost two hours. Grayson got his lunch free since it was his birthday, and we ended up seeing some kids we knew to play with. In the pic, he's taking a break to talk to Poppy on my cell.
Overall, I think it was a pretty cool birthday.
Yeah, I kind of see the owl thing as well - but owl or penguin, they look tasty.

No, no, Chris. You're SUPPOSED to say, "That kid's a moron. That totally looks like a penguin. Dumb kid." Just kidding :P

That penguin cake is definitely going above and beyond the call of duty. It's amazing!
