Mom makes a rockin' cool birthday cake

I made this myself. Well, the cake was from a box. But I made all the decorations and it was 98% percent edible (Diego is my 2% exception.)

Also, I thought the Diego action figure looked a lot like Theo.




Now here's a picture of all the kids. Unfortunately, little Eva (bottom right hand corner) got cut out of the picture. All you can see is her hair. So, Eva, you get a shout-out.



No, that is not alcohol you see in the background. It's rootbeer.

Singing for Fruit Snacks

If we ever have to live on the street, we'll be fine. We'll just put Theo and Ruby on a busy corner, and tell them they'll get fruit snacks if they sing.

Theo turns four

Theo turns four in a few days, but we had the party today. He got a digital camera (and so did Ruby, Merry Christmas) and all the kids took turns taking pictures. Of course 90% of the pictures are too blurry or contain little more than carpet. An additional 5% cut part of the target person out of the picture. So I guess I'll delete some, and leave some, and we'll see what we get. Here's some examples, the rest are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tedgifford/sets/ .
