I made an M&M mosaic cake which left me with lots of left over M&M's so I incorporated them everywhere I could think of.
I thought the cake turned out really well. (If you turn your head to the side you can see that it's in the shape of a 4. I had it turned correctly and blogger randomly rotated it.) I did however learn that M&Ms get soggy when on a cake for a couple of days. Steve thought they were good that way, I thought they were gross.
It didn't matter to Levi he loved it. We did cake on a break from the slip-n-slide. I love that slip-n-slide, I would leave it up all the time if it didn't completely kill the grass.
We really need to work on Levi's present opening skills. This is pretty much the look on his face in all the present pictures. I know it was hot and he wanted to get in the water, but really fake some enthusiasm son. This book by the way is my favorite thing Levi got. He LOVES It! It's a choose your own adventure book from discovery toys. We read it 20 times that night changing the story each time with the little cut outs. I got the girl version for my niece for her birthday and can't wait to give it to her.
Levi's big present was a bike. He's not exactly sold on the idea of riding a bike. I think he thinks it's a lot of work when you can just walk somewhere. I'm hoping he comes around.
Now it begins, he's a big boy, going to start school on me. I feel unprepared for him to be in school, he still seems like a baby to me. I bounce between excited and anxiety ridden about it. No stopping progress I suppose, unless of course they tell me he's to badly behaved to go to school. In which case we have a whole new set of problems to tackle. Wish us luck I have a feeling the next month or so is going to be high stress, at least for mommy.
Thanks for reading.

Yeah--I don't wanna talk about it.
But I like the cake--very cool. Easton's first birthday cake was a bear made of M&Ms and I remember them getting soggy too--and he didn't care either! :)
The present-opening shot made me grin. My guess is he was just a little overwhelmed, and I'd take that look over faking it, chuckle. :)
Awww! That cake, and theme, is adorable. I am so impressed. But yes, that slip-n-slide is hard for anyone to take a break from...even for presents. :) Looks like a great time.
It was a super party. I can't believe he is going to school...what the heck?! No way should he be that old!
He'll be okay mom!...I'm sure the teacher will write you raving reviews of his stellar skills! Love the cake--it's darling!
