Happy Birthday Drew

My baby just turned 14 years old and he's becoming a wonderful young man.

Shortly after this picture was taken Drew took half of the leftover cake and hid it in the corner Lazy Susan cupboard so Bob wouldn't eat it when Drew is at school tomorrow.

But when he turned the cupboard to close it, the cake upended against the inside wall behind the Lazy Susan, dumping gooey cake and frosting inside of the cupboard. This is quite possibly the only spot in the house that's nearly impossible to reach.

OK, maybe if he dumped the cake between the walls it would be harder to clean up.

Cleaning it out involved ingenious uses of spoons, knives and broom handles, numerous wet towels and lots of laughs. In fact, I am still laughing. Note, in the pic below...you can't see the vast quantities of frosting and cake glommed on the bottom and sides of the BACK of this cupboard...now that's funny, right?

But Drew was a trooper and he cleaned it all up.

When he was finally done he said, "Right, so, Mom, ummm....just wondering...um....are you going to make me another cake?"
