A Bob the Builder Birthday!
This year Boo-Boo (aka The Cookie Monster...that story next) is getting a Bob the Builder birthday party. Mr. Blue-Eyes had Bob for his 2nd birthday, so we'll do the same this time around.
Anyway, here is a picture of the cake I slaved over yesterday. Seriously, after being on my feet in the kitchen most of the day, I was beat. Sheesh, I'm getting old. :-)

Now for the Cookie Monster story...
The day before we left on our trip to see family, I baked a bunch of cookies to take along. I mixed them in the morning, they spent the required time in the fridge, and in the afternoon while Boo-Boo was napping, I baked them...precisely to AVOID what happened anyway! The cookies - yummy Raspberry Walnut Pinwheels! - were in an open container on the table with a few more on cooling racks when I got the little one up from his nap. After popping in a video for him and big brother to watch, I rushed upstairs to pack the suitcases for the trip. When I heard Mr. Blue-Eyes yelling that his brother had a cookie, I figured, "One won't hurt him." Silly me... By the time I came downstairs, Boo-Boo had proceeded to take a bite of cookie, put it down, take a bite of another one, put it down, get another from the open container, etc. He ended up with his own container of cookies for the trip, each with a bite out of it...about eight in total.
Note to self: Keep the cookies under lock and key!!
