Happy 100th Day of School

I’m having a little bit of trouble believing that the 100th day of school is here already!  Before you know it, I’ll be writing about the last day…

Wildman’s homework for this special day was to place 100 edible things into a bag for snack or “brain break” as his teacher calls it.  He chose Froot Loops.  I poured him a big bowl and asked him to count out 100 before eating the rest for snack.  He quickly made two piles of fifty and scooped them into the bag to take into school.  He was quite eager to down the rest with a little milk as his afternoon snack yesterday 🙂

His second homework task involved cutting out a large number “100” (not forgetting the middle of the zeros) and gluing 100 things to it.  After brainstorming several options, Wildman finally settled on beads for his 100 things.  He also insisted that I fire up the hot glue gun while he counted out 10 piles of 10 beads to glue on his number.  So, that’s what we did.  Even though there are hot glue strings all over the place, I’m happy he chose that adhesive.  It dried super quick and it holds the beads firmly on the cardstock.

Happy 100th Day from our neck of the woods!

Angry Birds Cake

Cutie Pie wanted an Angry Birds cake for his birthday just like Wildman.  J did not want to order the exact same cake from Publix, however.  He wanted something a little more special…  Something a little more 3D for Cutie Pie since he is the Angry Birds champion of our household.  Seriously, I’ve never seen the game played with more accuracy or more nonchalance than when I’ve watched Cutie Pie play.  It’s pretty amazing.

So, J set forth on an Angry Birds cake topper quest.  I had no clue about this until a little white box showed up on our doorstep.  The box was full of individually wrapped things.  When I asked J what was in the box, he excitedly reported that they were Cutie Pie’s Angry Birds!

These things are handmade from fondant and are probably the most spectacular cake toppers I’ve ever seen!  The detail is unreal!  J’s mom kindly made the green iced chocolate cake.  It tasted so good!

We convinced the kids not to eat them so that we may reuse them on future cakes.  They’re too pretty to eat!

You can pick up your own set here, if you’re interested.  They have all sorts of different topper themes to choose from.  The sea life ones and Yoda are pretty amazing too!
