The evening scented stock are blooming in the back garden and the scent mixes with the heavy scent of warm honey and wax emanating from the beehive. My sweet peas suddenly decide to bloom and I am surprised and delighted to see a pale mauve blossom that has emerged from a stalk that climbed up the lavender plant. Seems like it's always hot on Ules' birthday. Thank goodness he asks for an ice cream cake.
The asteroid has crash landed and it sizzles with the magical pop rocks that I've poured over top the cake. The boy chose frozen soya milk so that his aunt could have a piece too.
I can't believe he's into the double digits. Sigh.
We all giggle as the pop rocks explode in our mouths and tickle our tongues.
After dinner we play a (Neopets) board game that we bought at a thrift shop several years ago for a couple of bucks. Then we played three rounds of Mad Libs.
Here's a close up of the cake so you can see how I used measuring spoons to dig some craters out of the surface of the cake. The top layer is a kind of cookies n' cream flavor and the bottom was chocolate decadence as requested by the birthday boy. He loved his ice cream maker ball and the fancy popsicle molds I bought him and he was very grateful for all his gifts.
