Happy 09-09-09 Everybody! When the numbers align that perfectly there's really only one thing you can do: Bake a cake!
It was Taber's idea actually. I guess way back on 08-08-88 He recalls baking a cake to celebrate the date. I guess if it made a big enough impression to last in his memories for over 20 years it was worth doing with our kids too. The girls and I had fun baking the cake, filling our tummies with frosting (and putting some on the cake too) making decorations and learning about the number 9. Teya has found learning numbers a little more challenging than letters, so this was a fun way to really make number 9 stick!
Brinley helped too, but this was the only picture I got of her, complete with marker and ketchup stains on her shirt from decorating and eating.
For the grand finale we sang "Happy 9 day to you" and we all helped blow out the candle.It was a memorable ending to a memorable date.
(This post has been brought to you by the number 9.
And the letter C, for Cake! Yum....)

You should be on Sesame Street...that is a great way to teach numbers! And a way fun excuse to have a party. :)
I love how proud Teya looks of her cake, and of course Brinley all messy...it doesn't get much cuter than that!
I love the new table and chairs by the way...I saw those in your garage when we went to the zoo...did you refinish them??
Oh...and the cake was YUMMY! Just what I needed to add to the rolls on my stomach. Ha ha.
Long enough comment for you?? :)
I love the sesame street shout out :) Looks like fun! It's the teacher in your coming out!!
Cute idea- you are such a fun mom! And we watched Sesame Street today and it was brought to us by the letter c! Heehee
Ha Ha! Becca you and Taber are SO creative, and what FUN parents! Teya and Brin are very lucky!
What a fun idea - I love it when there is a good reason to make a cake.
My girls just saw these pictures and both declared that they want that exact cake on their birthdays next year (they are always looking for birthday planning inspiration).
That's awesome! I love it. :-D
That is such a cute idea! Look what a cute mom and dad you are. :)
All I did was try to explain it to Kenz on the way to preschool and I think she was utterly confused.
I love that though, you guys are awesome!
What a cute idea...I think I will steal it for 10-10-10!
ha ha ha how cute and fun. but if teya was holding that cake facing her it would look like the devil's cake ha ha ha ha
What a fun thing to do for your kids! BTW, Teya's hair is so long and cute!
Very clever!! I sure wish I had thought to do something fun like that with my kiddos. You're such a fun Mom! Maybe I can make up for it next year on 10-10-10??? Send me an email reminder, would ya? hee hee
