Madeline must have learned this song at daycare. It shows off Vancouver’s ethnic diversity!

Madeline sings a special song for everyone!

I’ve been taking Madeline out to the garden on her bike.  Most of the time I need to hold her to keep her up but she’s been insisting on riding by herself.  After trying it out once I think she was ready to be video taped.  Here are the results!

We love having dinner at sushi gallery.  Ryan always gets the mango roll, and Madeline gets six small avocado rolls.  Mommy and daddy usually get a rainbow roll.   Yummy!

As I’m sure most of you have realized by now we celebrate our kids’ birthdays multiple times.  The way it works for Ryan is we have a party for him where we invite all of his friends, daycare throws a party and we have a small party at home for him.  Doesn’t that sound great – 3 birthdays!!

For Ryan’s birthday at daycare we decided to make cupcakes – kitty cat cupcakses!  They were a bit tedious to make but not too difficult – I cut up some fruit roll ups for ears and some licorice for whiskers.

As I am sure most of you know getting ready for a birthday is quite an adventure.  Each year it seems like we try to get better at making a cake.  It was very difficult for us to decide on what kind of a cake to make but in the end Grace came up with a great idea.  She thought I was crazy but it didn’t seem that difficult.

I put some tracks down to help get the angle correct for the road	After placing the tracks it was much easier to get the frosting in the right place.
