Papa’s Birthday

Scott’s birthday was at the end of October and the kiddos and I wanted to make him a cake…they were SO excited about making it, but even more excited about decorating it!! Owen wanted it to have a squirrel with a funny nut on it…and luckily..we had a squirrel and an acorn toy along with many other animals…and superheroes that made it on the cake…stay tuned for the splendor!
SO happy to help mama mix up the cake
Very serious about it!
Per owen’s suggestion, we hid the cake in his closet from papa…


the final product…there are trees, a wolf, a funny nut, a squirrrel, dory from Nemo…and even spiderman, all haphazardly placed with love on papa’s cake!  Papa said it was the best cake anyone had ever made for him!!!
had to include this second shot too bc syd’s face cracks me up. think she could be any more excited?!
After cake time, we headed out to Post family farm to pick out pumpkins..it was amazingly warm that night…and we had an awesome time!!!
so into it!!!
notice: the tongue sticking out, the shirt lifted up due to the sheer mass of the pumpkin that probably weighed about 1/3 of her body weight..and the dino boots…she begs to wear them quite often!
