Guess who turns 5 tomorrow? And it’s his first day of preschool! It’s the final year at The Children’s Garden…and the kids get a sleepover at a brave teacher’s house. It’s the thing he’s most looking forward to this school year. So, big day – birthday and first day of school!

While Kenzie and Cindy are at gymnastics, Mason and I decided to make cupcakes for him to take to school. I asked him if he wanted blue or green cake. He choose dark blue. Easy, I had dark blue food coloring. Problem was that I didn’t have a white cake mix, but didn’t realize it until after I added the dark blue coloring. Learned a new color combination: yellow plus dark blue makes gray. Mason said, “Mom, that’s not blue.” So we decided to add gummy worms and have a mud cake. He got got the sprinkles and said the green was the grass and blue was the water for fishing. He asked if we could put some slugs on them too. Whew, recovery from near disastrous cake incident.
