The Cheeky Monkey sensibly chose to be born in the time of year suitable for outdoor festivities.
We planned a picnic, of the Hungry Caterpiller kind.
We sent invitations. (Quite late. As we are somewhat prone to procrastination.)
We painted boxes. Because as everyone knows, toddlers like boxes. As do cats. We discovered that this particular cat even likes them when the paint is still wet. Hmmmm...
We planned a menu. Actually, we used THE BOOK as the menu.
My cousin commented that she'd never seen that done before. We replied, that from a culinary perspective there was probably very good reason for that. We only deviated by adding some thick slices of bread to go with the swiss cheese and salami. My cousin hoped no-one got a stomach ache. We had some nice green (baby spinach) leaves to ensure that any-one who did, could eat through one and feel much better.
There were lolly pops, a cherry pie, and chocolate cake. The Ger-Man suggested that a Donauwelle Cake would most to the book justice. He was right. It looked perfect, and although I expected it to be revoltingly gooey with all that pudding, it turned out to be very popular.
Surprisingly, the only leftovers we had were the apples, plums, pears, strawberries and oranges...
Probably a moral in there somewhere.
