We had a busy day yesterday. We left to run errands at around 11:00am. First we went to Joann's. I needed some fabric to finish a project. Then to Borders to pick up a book, Party City to get some birthday plates and balloons. I got 12 helium filled balloons for 5.99 which I thought was pretty reasonable. Took the balloons home, then left for Costco. Everyone wanted cheese pizza for lunch which at 2.00 a slice would have cost 8.00 so we ordered a whole pizza for 10.00. We shopped while it baked. Queen Anne's Lace is growing all around Costco and I've been wanting to pick some but we still needed to go to Target. Buy a few birthday gifts and groceries at Target, pass Costco and pick some flowers, then finally go home.
I start the cake at 3:00pm. I open up the can of coconut milk and add it to the 5 egg whites. I get a funny feeling about the milk. I look at the recipe and realize it says I need cream of coconut! Leave for the grocery store at 3:20. We find what we need, rush back home and the cake is in the oven at 4:02!
We decorated the kitchen and wrapped presents. I got Phillip a T-shirt. Benajamin bought him a bag of tootsie rolls and M & M's, Grace got him a bottle of Pepsi and Emily gave him one of her glass bunny knick-knacks. Each gift had been planned for over a week! :0)
We had leftover pizza when Daddy got home and then had a piece of cake. The party started at 8:30 and we managed to squeeze 11 people onto my little back porch! It was alot of fun. We talked and laughed until 12:30am. I think this is the part I'm supposed to confess that I did not get up at 6:30am this morning. LOL. I'll do better tomorrow.
Now I need to finish cleaning the kitchen!
Kelli I want a big chunk of that cake & a glass of milk!! Yum it looks really good. Boy you did have a busy day but I think it was worth it!!
