Celebrating My Birthday

This morning--the day AFTER my real birthday, we went to the Devil's Elbow to play with our friends.
SHE didn't take any photos because SHE says you've seen heaps already.
 We stayed for an hour and a half and ran around like crazy dogs.
Afterward there were NO BATHS!
(Of course, we weren't allowed inside.)
We were surprised when we were loaded back in the car later and went to Sandy Beach, which is my (Bella's) favourite place.
 I swam, Roxy annoyed me, and Daisy  investigated stuff.
Can you see me out here?  Roxy doesn't come out this far.
 Then I dug a  hole in the sand, while Roxy annoyed me.
 And got covered in sand!
 We  stopped by the Sports Grounds on the way home
 to run and dry off.
This picture was taken two days ago.  We haven't seen these things in a while.
 It was BATHS when we got home, naturally and naps.

AND

THEN

CAKE FOR DINNER!!!
That's supposed to be a 4 because I'm 4 now.
 I could hardly wait for the photo shoot to be over!
 It was made of minced (ground) beef with cottage cheese icing and decorated with pureed vegetables.  (Baby Food)
 It was absolutely fabulous.  There was nothing left over.
 There are fresh bones in the fridge, but SHE said we'd already had too many snacks today.

As if....
We've NEVER had too many snacks in our opinion.
It was MY kind of Special Day!

    PS How did this ridiculous concept of "too many snacks" originate anyway?

  6. OMD OMD Bella We think that you should just declare it your BIRFDAY WEEK... and celebrate it like THIS every day!! OMD your CAKE. YOUR CAKE is GORGEOUS. SHE did a super job with it. Cottage Cheese Icing and decorated with that pretty yellow 4 is BRILLIANT. We were Drooling ALL over the Keyboard. So Sorry that Roxy kept gettin into your stuffs. She is SO much like Ernie.

  25. Sounds like it would be a great day for most of us. Though I have to confess despite living close to the beach, it is not my favourite place. I do not like sand between my toes and I hate water - other than that it's great!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yay, Happy Birthday! What a wonderful day. You had non-stop fun and then you had the most incredible cake that I've ever heard of!

  34. Looks like you had a great day, I LOVE your cake I am so going to get Her to make me one next year.

    Also, She lied to you. There is no such thing as too many snacks...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow, what a great birthday except for the bath part. But it does look like you sort of needed a bath. Sand and dirt in the bed makes for an itchy night's sleep. The cake look wonderful. We want our mom to make one for our next party. That would be Sebastian's gotcha day in July. Maybe if she starts now....
