Well the day had finally arrived when Mum turned 40 and it was with trepidation from my perspective. However the kids were thoroughly excited. The day before Heather had apparently told her whole class that it was her mum's birthday and proceeded to tell the teacher that she wouldn't be at school as she was spending it with Mum. So James also had the day off work and we decided to have a day trip to the zoo to see the penguins.
The penguins are a relatively new attraction at Calgary zoo and wait times at the weekend have been upto 2 hours...I was not prepared to wait that long so were glad that we had the opportunity to go mid week. we stood in line for about 30 mins and by that time everybody knew it was my birthday.
Looking out for animals,as you can see Finlay continues to like an afternoon siesta. He has been known to be sitting in his car seat at 10 am ready for a day trip and sigh and say" I'm tired" and promptly fall asleep.
Oh but wait ...he spotted a tiger...his favorite animal.
The Cake
Now the cake...A few days before my birthday I suggested that I make my own cake, Heather naturally, with her birthday spirit wanted to help, so Sunday was going to be the day.....6AM on Sunday morning Heather comes to wake me up asking if we can go and make the cake now..An hour later the cake making was underway with flour and sugar all over the kitchen....but the result was great....
We returned from the zoo later than expected so went to the George Town for dinner and heather promptly told the waiter that we were only having dinner..no desert ...it's my mums birthday you know and we are going home for cake .......and the cake had 40 candles put in by Heather and Finlay.
and they took some puff to blow them out.
