It was Lee's 31st birthday yesterday! He took the day off work & after we had taken Jordan to school, Lee,Timmy, Luke & I went into town on the train to spend Lee's birthday vouchers. It was the first time we had done a trip into town without the pram & it went very well! The boys were very good walking around the shops. The lady working in one of the shops said to Lee as he paid for his CD that she wanted to commend us both for the way we looked after our children in the shop. It made our day! (I don't think she saw the cookies I gave the boys though!). Lee took the twins to nursery after lunch & picked Jordan up for his speech therapy. Jordan then helped me to bake a birthday cake for Lee. We made a football pitch cake! Here's how we decorated it....
Each of the boys helped to mix up the icing & colour it green, then Jordan covered the cake. I used white icing to mark out the pitch.
Timmy, Luke & Jordan put on the jelly baby players. The teams were Liverpool
FC (in red) & Jordan United (in black & yellow). I had plans of putting the players in 4-4-2 formation but the boys had different ideas! Jordan lay some of his players down on the pitch, Luke got the goal line well covered with a line of players & Timmy stood his players on their heads (hence Jordan's expression in the photo!)
This was the final result! We all thought it looked great! It tasted pretty good too! For Lee's birthday tea I cooked his favourite meal-
chilli & rice. Jordan thought it was really funny to eat kidney beans! It was a lovely day. ;O)
