Today is Sean's birthday. In our family, Sean's is the first birthday for the season, Declan's follows (almost) 4 weeks later, then Illi's is 11 days later and mine is 2 weeks after that. So in all, there are 7.5 weeks to fit in all 4 birthdays.
Sean had class all day today and didn't finish until after 7 this evening. Normally I would make him roast chicken for dinner on his birthday (his fave) then follow with a butter cake (also his fave) with candles. The compromise due to a busy weekend, being unsure about his exact finish time and another school meeting at Stromlo, was chicken kebabs and apple pie (another of his fave foods).
The above pic is of Sean's individual pie with cream and ice cream. I used 4 long candles for ten sticks and 2 short ones for unit blocks as 42 candles would not have fitted on the pie! As it was, the heat of the pie started melting the candles from the bottom while I was lighting them/carrying the pie out...Safety note: candles in hot pie are NOT a good idea! We worked on the idea that birthday candle wax wouldn't be toxic anyway and he ate his birthday pie.
Happy Birthday Sean (sorry about the wax!).
