Jillian's Birthday

A bit cold today, sunny, but cold. I swear the ground never dries. I have a nice supply of mud caked on teh jogger wheels. I had a driving lesson today (NOT with my husband). I stayed on the road and the instructor only complained about the mud
being splashed onto his car because I tended to go a bit too far to the left. If the ground was dry, there wouldn't have been mud.
Today was Jillian's 2nd birthday-we have no cake pan. I bought a mini cupcake mix from the store because it came with the little papers and didn't require a pan. We forgot about candles until it was time to light them. Two matches substitute just fine for candles! The neighbors across the street knew it was her birthday so the dad sang to her after school and their 2 daughters made her cards and brought over a little gift.
Advise from Kristie: "P.S. Regarding Jillian's birthday ... when you find the cake pans, just back date the camera and take a picture. She'll never suspect a thing. She'll be so thrilled when she's older that you just took a picture at all! Poor third child, I don't know how they survive!"
