The Beginning of Birthday's

With all 10 of us, we have 9 months of the year covered with birthdays. Joey starts the brigade by turning 6 today! He is so excited! No, he is extremely excited! He has been counting down the days for 2 weeks, and we are all ready for the celebration! He gets to pick his meals and he's ordered cinnamon rolls, green eggs and ham for lunch, and meatballs for dinner. We always have fresh fruit for breakfast, so we only cook 2 meals a day. That helps a LOT when you're cooking for a crowd! Oh, and then there is the rainbow chip birthday cake that needs to somewhat resemble a racecar by the time we're done with it. We have had a full week with NO sugar! No dessert, treats, soda or snacks! Not even a granola bar! So everyone is looking forward to indulging a bit to celebrate Joey's day!
Then Benjamin will be 4 in April, Matthew is 8 in May, Megan will be 18 in June, Mom is 42 in July, Robbie has August and he will be 16. Breathe. Emily and Lydia happily share September, Emily will be 11 on the 10th, and Lydia will be 2 on the 21st. Daniel takes October and will be 13. Dad finishes out the year with a New Year's Eve birthday! We haven't kept track of the dates for the rabbit or the frogs, we get enough cake as it is!
