The Way It Goes Sometimes & A Birthday

Well, today is Edison's 6th birthday. And, can you believe it? The stomach virus hit our family again this week. Charlie was sick on Tuesday. Then last night Edison and I both got sick.

He was so bummed that I was keeping him home from school today. Granted, the virus hit hard and fast and by this morning we both felt about as good as new. Still, I didn't think they really cared for us to share our germs at the school.

So, I have a sick boy who doesn't seem very sick at home bored. Bored and bummed that he couldn't take his birthday treat to school to today and that we can't have our family over for cake and ice cream as we'd planned tonight.

I was going to show you the cupcakes we made for Edison's class that are now sitting in my refrigerator. And, I was going to show you the cake we decorated for his party at home. But, I can't find the thingy that connects my camera to the computer for downloading.

I guess I'll just show you the picture from Better Homes & Gardens website that gave us the idea for his cake and his school cupcakes.

And, here's the link.

You'll just have to wait for our pics.

In the meantime, if you get a chance, would you post a Happy Birthday comment to Edison? Our day hasn't quite turned out like we planned. His party is postponed now for Saturday. But, I thought it might be a cute surprise for him if I could show him birthday wishes that people left here just for him.

Thanks! Have a great day!
