Makenzie has been talking about her birthday since Christmas. It is March 24th. Whenever we went to the store, I could easily weasle her out of the common toy fiasco that happens in stores with kids by saying, "Ask Santa for Christmas." Well, this still works except I say, "Ask it for your birthday." The 20 requests I get each time are usually forgotten as we walk out the store.
I'm not much of a cake-maker, but I usually try and make something special for their big day. In December, Makenzie attended her friend's birthday party which had a horse theme. For several weeks after Makenzie insisted that she will have a horsey birthday as well, including a horsey cake.
Well, a few weeks after Christmas, she found my cake decorating kit. She wanted me to make a cake right then. I mentioned I will make her one for her birthday, which then she informed me she wanted to have a Wall-E cake. She said her horsey cake can be for another birtday. Okay, I thought. My sister-in-law did a Wall-E birthday for her girl, so I could just copy off her and it would be fine.
Well, the birthday conversation was brought up again this week. Makenzie was sitting on the toilet doing her business while I was doing my hair. She was telling me what she wanted for her birthday... and then I tried finishing her sentence by saying, "And you want a Wall-E cake." She then said, "No, Mom. I want a Jack cake!" Who is Jack, you may ask? My child is fascinated in scary things. I don't know why, but it for sure doesn't scare her right now. Tyler got the movie, "A Nightmare Before Christmas" for Christmas. Makenzie has claimed this movie as her own and insists to watch it everyday (not that I let her!). Jack is one of the main characters.
What 3-year old girl would want a skeleton cake? I just have to laugh. I guess I could just do his head. It would be really easy. She still has a month and a half to change her mind again. I'll keep you posted as to what will be the final deal! Aren't children fun?!

What a funny kid! It will crack me up if it stays the "Jack" cake! What an interesting birthday theme.
What fun kids are, did you make those cakes, cause if you did you are amazing!!! Look at you go! Good luck with the cake thing, be sure to keep us updated!! Hope the pregnancy is going well, when are you due by the way?
Kids are great. Yours expecially. After looking at those pictures I feel rather sheepish thinking about all my attempts. I'm sure you will do a great job, you have always amazed me with your skills.
That is awesome. I remember when you guys visited us in SLC and Makenzie picked out all of the villains and bugs in the toybox.
Hahaha! That is funny. She must be more mature than other kids her age since she likes older scary characters. He's not really that scary though. Jack is a nice skeleton.
