Birthday!


Tuesday was RJ's birthday. He took Tuesday and Wednesday off so he could have some down time to himself, and celebrate with a drive in the desert and some movie watching. Unfortunately, Stirling got sick and RJ spent his long weekend taking Stirling to the doctor and hanging out at home. Stirling has had a fever on and off for a week now, with a few of those days being all day long fevers over 101 degrees. I had to take Friday off to stay home with him as well.
Anyway, despite all the changes in his plans, we were still able to have a quiet little celebration for RJ. I made a cake with RJ's favorite springtime sweet- Peeps! The cake is supposed to look like a sunflower, with the Peeps as petals, and concentric circles of chocolate chips for the seeds. It turned out pretty well. Stirling helped RJ open his presents, and we ordered pizza for dinner.
