Celebratory Green Stufff

A few whiles back (I think it was about six of them) we thought it would be fun to become cake maker people...you know, the sort of people that make cakes. Sara made me a terrific one on my birthday clear back in May (yes, that's how far behind I am on blog postage, but now that I'm done with my November exam, repentence is nigh). I thought it was awesome that she made the frets out of candles. I think next year I'll request a green Gibson Les Paul, or maybe an accordian. We've sorta become addicted to making fun cakes now, and as soon as we crack the code of making fondant we'll become unstoppable. Until then we'll just keep using the Pillsbury bucket, and we'll post each one on the ol' blog.

Speaking of things that are green, some weeks later Sara presented me with the awesomest of Fathers Day cards. She's far more talented than me. Obviously I very much enjoyed our St. Patrick's Day trip to Chicago since I wrote about a gazillion blog postings about it, so I'd say that Zoe and I standing on the banks of the green-dyed Chicago river is a very appropriate scene to mark my fatherhood. This card is in follow-up to last year's card depicting Zoe and I's camel ride at the Milwaukee County Zoo. I love these cards, and I will demand one every single year until I die. Someday I expect to be given an illustration of Zoe and I standing in front of the rest home she places me in. The lines Sara draws then probably won't be quite as straight as they are now. Yes, those are penguins on my pajamas. Fathers don't have to get dressed on their day.
