The year of the monkey
We celebrated Quinn's birthday at the Cape May County Park, which seems to be a tradition now for our family affairs, that and the Olive Garden, yum! Last year was the year of the spider. Spider man was all the buzz, as much as a one year old can buzz about it, Ok maybe it was us. This year Quinn has found his new love and it's Curious George. So we got him a cute George plush doll, which he loves to love, he sleeps with it and hugs him often. Ever since watching the movie he's been enamored. I wondered if he would understand a real monkey VS the cute and cuddly animated monkey. To my surprise he got it, we saw a monkey at the park and he got excited and said oooo ooo eeee eee, (I hope my spelling translates to monkey sounds) In honor of the special day I wore my monkey shirt which seemed to make Quinn very happy and Chrissy very Jealous, which is good all around. 
Chrissy baked yummy cupcakes that she put into ice cream cones... She is very inventive. I may leave all bake goods in her hands especially after the cool ass frog she made last year. I'm sure Quinn would have loved it if it didn't have eyes :)It's hysterical to me that his birthday falls on Labor day, how ironic... I've been thinking of that day a lot this weekend and the days that followed. Things were hairy there for a while and we had some scares, but here he is, happy and healthy and it seems so far away now. Labor day will always have a double meaning for me now, but either way it still boils down to some sort of work :)
The photos are on my profile page on Myspace, until I update the photo gallery on Flickr.

ahhhh....the year of the monkey :)
Remember "mon chi chi"?
I HAD ONE OF THOSE!!!!...I still remeber the jingle!
Do you remeber Freezy freakers those cool ass gloves that would change in the snow?
monchichi!!! did you forget my monkmonk? i gave monkmonk to goodwill when i was 15 - i don't know what i was thinking! curious george resembles monkmonk - i may go get one for memory purposes - and that i miss monkmonk.
and i steal those cake ideas from the internet and that book mom got! next year will probably be a caterpillar
no monkey cake?
Not after the Great Kermit disaster of last year.... We thought cupcakes would be best.....No eyeballs....
maybe i will do a monkey next year. it's going to be really hard to make the frosting brown though. and i'll make the inside red velvet so that it will really freak him out when he slices into it.
I seem to remember an armadila cake with red cake in the middle... was that a movie or did we have that? (swiss cheese memories)
You could use chocoloate frosting.
ahhh I heard about the Kermit Cake
that red velvet cake has horror movie written all over it
