Cameron's 6 Birthday


For Cameron's Birthday this year we had a water party at the park. We filled a couple of plastic storage bins with water, bought a couple of packages of sponges from the $1 store played a couple of water games that ultimately ended in a huge water fight. To make it easier I wanted to do a cupcake cake (no silverware and or plates needed). Cameron wanted a G.I Joe cake but I couldn't find any good ideas over the www so he settled for a Transformer insignia cake. I went to the store to buy all the ingredients and realized that all of my cake decorating tools are packed in a box somewhere and had to improvise a bit...in the end it turned out great. We had chocolate cupcakes with mint frosting. Now I know that it looks cool and stormy but really for Tucson it was a PERFECT day for and outdoor party...it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon but because of the cloud cover it didn't feel like 100+ degrees outside. The kids really enjoyed themselves. We bought Cameron a bunch of legos off of Ebay and they were a hit, thank goodness I spent a lot of time on Ebay finding stuff for both of the kids(probably too much)
