SSSpencer Turns Sssixxxx.....

Spencer's birthday was on September 5th. He had a ssssnake themed birthday party this year. He is in LOVE with snakes! And I bet you can't guess what he wanted for his gift.... yes... a snake! But he didn't get one:). Instead he got some goldfish!!! I honestly wouldn't have a problem having a small snake in the house (in a cage); it's the feeding the snake that I have a problem with. I can't add "stopping by the pet store to pick up a fresh batch of crickets" to my to do list. So... he got some fish in an aquarium and he loves them. He also got a book about snakes, some binoculars, and walkie-talkies among other things.

The traditional birthday breakfast... he requested green banana pancakes with green milk and a green straw.


His ssssssnake cake (it's a green Garter snake... Spencer's favorite kind of snake).

Spencer's snake head piece of cake... (it was the most delicious snake cake I've ever had).


The favorite part of the day... tearing into those presents!!!

We love having Spencer in our family. He is SUCH a big helper with Lauryn. He adores her to pieces and will hold her for 20 minutes at a time. He is a great big-brother to Preston. He is fascinated with how this Earth was put together and wants to investigate how everything works. We love Spencer for his thirst for knowledge, his quiet demeanor, and how loving he is. And we love how much he LOVES animals, nature, and the Earth. He is our future Zoologist and he loves all living things. Happy Birthday Spence!!!

I can't even talk about how spectacular that cake is. You never mention who makes the fancy cakes at your house so I can only assume it was you! Great job. I can't begin to imagine how one creates a snake cake. I love what a cute kid Spencer is. And I agree with your reasons for not buying a snake. Seriously, live crickets. How often, I wonder? That is tough to add to your list of to-do's for sure. You sure got in a lot of posts since the last time I checked your blog. Thanks for all the entertainment - not that your goal is to entertain but you sure did.
