It's the month for...

February is our month for birthdays, but looking at back posts from the past few years, it also seems to be our month for germs - especially for the Munchkin and I.

This year we both got waylaid by a nasty stomach virus - each in turn - that takes a bit to bounce back from, and so our "birth month" celebration has been a bit more erratic than last year. I guess that saves all of you from the day by day play by play. Quick synopsis: chocolate, trains and tracks. Not very creative, I know - but the best this mommy could muster from the quarantine of the sofa. (and this virus was so icky -the chocolate did not even get eaten - it messes with your taste buds -not fun)

Now that we are feeling better - things may get more interesting. I have a few handmade projects in the stash (not photographed yet, sorry...), and the birthday cake of the year has been designed - providing the Munchkin does not change his mind yet again.

We have gone from a steam engine - to a diesel engine - back to a steam engine - to an alligator - to a dinosaur (T-Rex - standing NOT sleeping) - back to a steam engine - back to an alligator.

Since I "design" the party theme and invitations around the cake, I finally opted to send out electronic invitations with no theme on them at all - just to hedge my bets. Somehow I am anticipating boo boo lip and tears no matter what Hubby finally comes up with.

At least the germs hit us early -and perhaps will not visit again on my birthday like they did last year.

I'd love to see what hubby can come up with for a standing (not sleeping) T-Rex! I've been impressed with the trucks and the treasure chest groom's cake...
Glad that the bug is gone, so sorry you and the munchkin were feeling yucky. I know how it feels to be sick on your birthday, it's no fun. Even if you're not a little munchkin!
Sending hugs and kisses from SC!
Love you sis!

I'm glad you are all starting to feel some better! I hope that it doesn't ruin the birthday month!
