Sick Day

So, my son is home from school today - sick.

honestly he's getting over whatever he had yesterday but i kept him home to rest a little more. 

he's so tired lately.

School's a big adjustment for a little body.

well, we decided to have a party tonight
- and to have a party, one needs a cake -

so we got to work on it.

the kids donned their aprons
(hand-me-downs from my mom's kitchen)

and we got to work.

flour.. check.

sugar.. check.

milk... oh crap. 
i had maybe 2/3 a cup of milk.

i was going to go to the store this today after the girl and I went to a friend's house but my plans all changed when the boy still ran a slight fever.
(or he was just warm from his comfy bed).

into the car we piled and off we drove to Kawartha Dairy.

love the drive thru window.

after a stop at Tim Hortons,
and halloween sprinkled donuts,
 we came home to continue the cake.

we got everything else into the bowl and I mixed it.

then the kids were done.

time to enjoy their treat for helping.

i may blow up some balloons and i'll put some icing on the cake. 

it's a party for all of us,

just because we all love eachother.

name a better reason for a party.

good idea kids.
