Above – A masterpiece! Pappa and I spent many hours today building a cake for the Sparts’ 3rd birthday – German chocolate cake complete with motorcycle and stop sign. There’s a story behind this that has to do with playing the motorcycle game and stop sign game while driving wherever we’re headed. The game is simple (after all we play it with a 2 & 4 year old) – we take turns finding either a motorcycle or stop sign. Usually Maya and Sparty make up the rules as we go along but I suppose that’s the way it goes.

To give you an idea of how big this cake is, we brought this young subject in to sit behind it.

If that doesn’t do it, how about this – 4 cake mixes and 7 tubs of frosting! BIG!

Meanwhile, we have another empty nest. These precious little – teeny tiny actually – eggs …

That hatched into these hungry little beings…

That grew into these beautiful, amazing creatures …

… have flown away.

Let’s take a look at what Robb and the boys have been up to – another outing in the Bay Area – Tennessee Beach, Marin.

Here at Amma & Pappa’s – pizza for breakfast.

And a challenge for Amma to crawl through the doggie door. It’s a tight squeeze!
