What?

I'm very proud of the R2-D2 cake I made, even though it's a little stubby and gloppy. I always make the cake the night before because there's no time on their birthday, and it usually happens late at night, after they're in bed because that's the only way I can have any uninterrupted length of time. But I think they're starting to think there's a "cake Santa" or something. After he saw it Tyler ran to get me and show me. "Look! An Artoo cake!" Like I had nothing to do with it. He got two very cool star wars ships, and check out that look of delight over a pack of gum!

When Joey busted open the pinata with one wack Tyler said "Oh! A sock!" Indeed, a dirty little sock had burst out of the pinata along with all the candy. There was also a hotwheels car and some legos. He had added a few "extras," unbeknownst to us.

They are so proud of the medals they got. As much fun as it was, I'm really glad it's over because we will have 3 more free nights a week now (yay for me, they can get their chores done for once, too bad for them), and because it's getting really cold; those last two games were miserable! Fortunately I thought Joey's was at 6:30 (it was really at 6:00--oops!) so we only had to sit huddled together in the cold for half an hour.
