Here is two of our cute trick or treater's. Elsie was blue's clues. She loved trick or treating. She walked the whole night and would not let me carry her treat bag for fear I might help myself (smart girl)...Ok sorry that it is side ways. I can't get the computer to rotate it and I am to tired to keep trying........ I am very behind in my blogging lately I am sorry so I will try to catch up all up... By the way sorry you have to hear me sing.
This is Thomas' Birthday. Can you believe he is 13... Anyway I choose the video of the "cake because I have to share with you how smart I am.. Instead of a cake Thomas wanted apple crisp so I made it. Now normally when I make a cake I pull it out of the oven, let it cool down, then frost and put the candles in it. This not being a cake and I didn't have to frost it I didn't think about the cooling down part. So I pulled it out of the oven and just stuck the candles in it to hurry and finish it off so I could move on to the next thing. Candles we learned melt in hot apple crisp.... So a while later I happen to notice that only the tops of the candles were left and all the wax was in the apple crisp. Well we figured we would live if we ate wax so we lit the tiny top candles and sang to Thomas. Now if you look at the crisp closely you will see that more than the 13 candles are burning. Since the candles were so short the oats in the crisp started on fire. So we had slightly burned wax apple crisp for his birthday.
For his birthday we gave him one very small gift. This is his first experience with only one gift. Normally he gets 2 or 3 but with age the expense of the gift goes up so the quanity goes down. He got an ipod and has loved it every day since!
