Man...this June birthday thing is brutal on the waist line. Micah has been living on one big sugar high that has seen him through napless days. After two weeks of chocolate gooey cake, vanilla cupcakes, a quad sampler from Royal bakery, chocolate brownie cookies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip banana bread and ice cream cake we are officially putting a moratorium on sweets. I (Amy) will be the hardest to wean from the sugar high. I have developed quite the sweet tooth and coupled with the nursing mother's attitude of, "I can eat it all!" have indulged frequently and heavily.
The end date came yesterday with the closure of Micah's little 3rd birthday gathering in our backyard.
There was ketchup (check-up) with hotdogs:
Busy getting dizzy in the hammock swing:
Story time with children's author, and friend,
Jody Fickes Shapiro:
Bubbles!!!
And of course ice cream cake (But Micah liked the cheap plastic dinosaurs on top best):
P.S. The one exception to the no sweets rule will be the fresh fruit variety: strawberry season is in full swing and our peach tree is bulging with ripening fruit--add a bit of (full fat heavy whipping) cream and, "Mmmmmmmmm."

What a fun party :) Did you make the ice cream cake, too??? We have to wean ourselves off sugar too - we've been terrible since before our vacation and only got worse while on it, and never got out of the habit...
