Wallace is 3! Well...almost. His birthday is actually tomorrow, but it's a bit difficult to celebrate it on a Monday...so we chose Saturday instead. :)

I know. I know.  His cake is the Leaning Tower of Pisa...  I got a little ambitious and have no engineering skills to speak of. — I know. I know. His cake is the Leaning Tower of Pisa... I got a little ambitious and have no engineering skills to speak of.

I'm vain...so I snapped a pic from a more flattering angle earlier in the day.  :)  It's not as pretty as the example I'd seen online, but for a kid who LOVES icing...this was a good cake for him. — I'm vain...so I snapped a pic from a more flattering angle earlier in the day. :) It's not as pretty as the example I'd seen online, but for a kid who LOVES icing...this was a good cake for him.

You know...I actually had a Spider-man bike growing up. Not sure who exactly I got it from since I've got 2 older sisters, but I distinctly remember asking my Dad to paint it.....glittery maroon...but it still had the yellow seat that had a black webbing design printed on it. I wasn't really fooling anyone.

No birthday of Wallace's would be complete without chocolate milk, a new car, and a viewing of Wall-E.

Haha!  He's blowing out the candles, but it looks like he's yelling that it's about to fall. — Haha! He's blowing out the candles, but it looks like he's yelling that it's about to fall.
