Ethan is 3!

I can't believe that he is 3! On Sat. 3/11 he went to Pondo with T's parents and I decided to go along. They sang "Happy Birthday" to him and presented him with a little cake. He was still not feeling too great that day. He didn't eat anything! Very odd, he usually eats eggs, bacon, blueberry muffin there.
I decorated for his party that night after he went to sleep. It was all Madagascar themed. I even captured some images and printed them up at work on 11x17 paper. I love decorating for his birthday and making his party special.

My parents, Trent's parents and my sister's family came to the house at 2pm on Sunday. Trent's brother had to work so he couldn't come up.
Well, it ended up being a memorable party. Cousin Amanda threw up in the car on the way to our house. My sister came with Matthew and Dan took Amanda home to clean her up. What fun, huh? We stupidly let Matthew eat grapes, which he ended up throwing up in our kitchen sink!! Ethan had this stomach virus on Tues. his cousins caught it on Sat. I ended up catching it from them and got sick on Monday morning! What fun, huh?
I felt like I should hurry him with opening up presents. Then we sang and he blew out candles. I felt so sad for the sick cousins because they couldn't eat any cake. Matthew started to cry about it.

I made these cool star cookie suckers and they couldn't eat those either! I bagged them up for them. I had made the cousins a favor bag of goodies, too! I found little Madagascar puzzles for them.
OH! The cake that almost didn't happen! I called in the order to the grocery store right by our house on Thursday. I told the chic I would pick it up on Sunday at 10:30. I ordered 1/4 sheet cake of Madagascar theme cake. I don't know what it was but I had a feeling that something was going to go wrong with this cake. Like it wouldn't be ready when I picked it up. This is exactly what happened! It wasn't even started. They found my order and it said it was for 3/14-Tuesday! That stupid chic wrote down the wrong freakin date!

The lady said that she had messed other orders up and would have the cake ready in 15-20 min. She said I could just walk around and get it then. Well, I really didn't have any shopping to do then. I looked at the birthday cards, cause I needed one for Monica's birthday on Monday. I called in the cake order for Monica's cake for work, too.

It ended up taking her 30 min to finish the cake, though. The little characters were so cute. All that for a silly cake that was $23.49!! So not worth it. I think we threw out 1/4 of the leftover cake. When I was sick on Monday, I didn't have any appetite until Wed. night. Trent doesn't care about cake. The smell of it was making me naucious. I'm actually so proud of myself that I didn't gorge myself with the cake like I usually do!
