Well it was Daniel's birthday and he said he wanted blue barn cake, green balloons and a back hoe trailer. He got green balloons in his room, and a basketball hoop and then he turned to Jason and I and asked "Did anyone remember to get me a backhoe?" That kid. Here are some pics from his special day of turning three. So I was determined to make the cake from scratch and so I did. I made two, one chocolate and a "yellow" cake that obviously did not turn out yellow. Putting the cake together had a few snags. The chocolate was not as thick as the yellow so the cake was slightly to very lopsided. Daniel, who helped me put it together, ate a huge amount of the chocolate cake and thus the layers were all messed up. We went to the farm the day after his birthday because it was warm. He loved climbing in the tractor. Alice liked all the animals. Not so sure about the goats but she will make a "goat" noise when asked and heavily prompted.
