LET THEM EAT CAKE!

So for those who know me well you know I am a very santitary person. I like my house to be uncontaimated and clean...so this poses a problem, a 1 yr. old and 3 yr. old...hmmm

But it is an unwritten law that for your ONE YEAR old birthday you have to enjoy a messy birthday cake. In fact isnt there always wagers on if the kid will eat the cake elegantly or tear it up...so like Marie Antoinette I decided to LET THEM EAT CAKE (and just in case you are a history buff, or watch history shows in your spare time, like me, you will know its not actually proven that she really said that) ...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake

Anyway I decided to put them in the tub (yes, it was sterilized) and I LET THEM EAT CAKE...and the results are in...
I think this is when he realized he liked it....

...then he dug in...
We then got some foot action
After standing up and realizing he got frosting on the edge of the tub he began rubbing his hands on the edge and then started sucking the edge of the tub...YUM
Numbered List

When they started slipping and falling on frosting, I decided it was probably time to clean up and finish...
This was the end result

  2. Haha, that is hilarious! Such a good idea though. Clara was one of those dainty ones that didn't get dirty. I love seeing that Asher really enjoyed his cake.
