My 5 year old…
Novaleas bday has come and gone – almost. We head up north to my parents place for a bday/memorial day picnic/bonfire this weekend. After Saturday, then her celebrating will officially come to an end…and then we move on to the Hubby’s…and then just 2 weeks later the baby will be turning 1… ACK!
Novi had a great time on her actual bday and at her party then just a couple of days later. Nothing too elaborate – just friends, food, and a lot of ice cream sundaes. Her take-in birthday treats for preschool turned out okay – not near as nice as what I would’ve liked, but the chocolate I was using on my flowers decided to revolt and absolutely refused to stick properly to the cake balls (get your mind out of the gutter). The darn things took forever to do, so by the time I was done it was after midnight (much like it is right now), I was tired, cranky, and not caring all that much if a bunch of 4 & 5 year olds thought the flowers weren’t properly adorned in pink & purple chocolate. What can I say, a perfectionist I most certainly am not. Despite it all, Novalea said they were a hit, so I actually doubt very much that her peers even took the time to look at what they were scarfing down, let alone admire its creativity and the painstaking hours that went into them.
Behold the fruits of my labor…
Like I said, the bloody chocolate refused to adhere properly – but you get the general idea of it attempting to be flowers in a flower pot. Everything being edible with the exception of the actual pot and the flowers “stem”.
Maybe one day Ill get real crazy and attempt to work with fondant.

Oh my gosh!! Sooooo THAT'S where our missing pants went. hahaha Those lemon/lime pants are a jammies set. We have been hunting and hunting for them.
The chocolate may have not worked out the best, but those are still really cool and if they tasted as good as the regular ones you had for her birthday at the house I'm sure they were a HUGE hit!
really??? LOL!! I was wondering where those pants came from - Novi just pulled them our of her drawer the other day. :) Ill send them over as soon as they are clean. :)
