Let them eat cake

What a sugar rush this has been! Over the last two weekends, we were invited to three birthday parties, plus hosted an end of the season soccer party in between. That adds up to an awful lot of frosting!

I mention the frosting because that's pretty much the only part my kids eat. No matter the flavor of cake, it ends up thrown away after being licked clean of any trace of icing.

The effects of all that sugar were evident. In the bouncy house at Carver and Ethan's party...

And at the air hockey table at Jessica's party...

It wasn't frosting that put the smile on AJ's face at our friend Reese's party, but rather getting his face painted with a skeleton to match his new pirate costume.

The face painting took place before the cake was served, so you could say that by the time the frosting-covered desert arrived, it was...

wait for it...

the icing on the cake. Buh-dum-dum.
