Happy Birthday...well....kinda

Recently Matt has started to say prayers all by himself.  It's pretty cute for the most part and he'll randomly be thankful for  various things for several minutes sometimes (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse Club house, Superman, Ninja Turtles...) He's been mentioning cake a lot recently, but we weren't sure why.  Tonight we decided to go get some groceries and my pregnant belly was craving sugar cookies.  On our way to the store we started talking to the kids about what we were going to get.  We mentioned we were going to get cake and Megan asked what kind.  Norman said "Oh, chocolate, or vanilla or maybe cheesecake".  Megan said "I love cheese!!! Maybe we could get ham cake....oooo...I love ham"  That kid!!  Then Norman mentioned tres leches cake and he said it was three milk cake.  Megan promptly jumped in "Oh, like white milk, chocolate milk and strawberry milk....so yummy!!"  Yet again, we laughed.

We settled on carrot cake cupcakes and got our other groceries and came home (we got sugar cookies too...I didn't forget).  On the way home we were talking about cake and Matt started to sing Happy Birthday and talk about blowing out the candles.  Come to find out, he didn't care about the "cake" he wanted candles and to blow them out.  Heaven forbid he not get his way.  We started by singing Happy Valentines Day, but he was more happy with Happy Birthday....over and over and over....

We would light the candles over and over and finally the candles were about gone so we were done.  We even video chatted with Grandma Petersen so we could sing to her too.  After all of that, Matt licked a little of the frosting off and ran off and played.  He didn't want the "cake" he only wanted the candle..  That kid is quite a nut bucket.

On a different note, over the summer we took Sophie in to have a cyst removed from her neck,  They did some tests and found out it wasn't cancerous, but she does have a thyroid issue.  I'm a bad doggie mommy and have slacked on giving her the meds.  It's twice a day and frankly, I have issues giving my kids medications twice a day.  Poor Sophie has been looking a little ragged so I decided to give up my issues and take care of her.  I've been doing really good at giving her the meds for just over a week now and there's definitely a difference.  The issue is, she's now getting into things that she shouldn't.  Oh well, it's good to have her looking better.  I guess it's been a while since she's been into mischief so she's got some making up to do.
