The party was a roaring success – ROARING being the operative word. Who knew that six little boys could be so LOUD.
In spite of the fact that all but one TV deprived little boy quickly grew bored with the video and the electricity went out for a while as we were eating cake, in the end they all seemed to have a good time and with minimal damage to my house. I think we were all pleased.
Wanted to share a picture of my son’s birthday cake. He specifically requested a “fruit cake” which to him meant white cake topped with whipped cream and kiwi (his favorite fruit of all). I added pomegranate seeds for color. In addition I made some cupcakes with whipped cream and sprinkles for kids who didn’t like the looks of the fruit. Did my son eat the cake? Nope – he wanted a cupcake like the rest of his friends.
Oh well – it left more for the parents who attended. And it was a tasty cake, if I say so myself!

















Heh-heh. As a veteran of four children and three grandchildren, I can tell you that it will always be noisy. Glad it went well.
