So this cute guy turned four. And now that we've opened up that big, wide door to birthday parties (apparently once you have one, you never stop having them), Cade ordered up a space birthday for him and some of his buddies. Let's be honest for a moment and talk about my utter and complete lack of creativity. Seriously, I'm missing out big time on that gene. So I told my money saving hubby that if he would be in charge of all things space game related, I would make the cake. Yes folks, make the cake. It has been well documented in blog posts of birthdays past, I order the cake and order it well.
Evan came through on his end of the bargain, including alien pinatas, a rocket launch off, black hole balloon games, and a planet and star scavenger hunt to name a few.
The kids seemed pretty happy with it all. Well in all reality, Cade doesn't look so happy here. But it's the best we got so take my word for it he was happy. It was only fair after all of Evan's hard work, that I come through on my end of our deal.
Bottom line, is it's harder than it looks and this was probably the easiest recipe known to man. So I know that I'm supposed to love making the cake. That it should fulfill me. That I should love tapping into my inherently born mother duty to make my child his birthday cake. But, when all is said and done I like ordering the cake. I'm really good at it and I'm not sure I want to mess with a good thing. But for this guy on his fourth birthday, it was well worth it. Happy birthday to our wonderfully feisty, funny, sweet Cade!
