This evening while I made Eli's birthday supper, he eagerly decorated the kitchen in bat attire. With black balloons swirling around on the floor, black streamers hanging from the ceiling fan (which looked and sounded like bats if put on high speed!), foam bats clipped in various places, and cardboard bats hung from the archway, it looked like a bat cave! We found bat-shaped peppermint patties and bat Pez dispensers for favors for E. and his brothers as well as small plastic bats to decorate the table.
For his birthday supper, Eli requested:
* Potato Cheese Soup
* Homemade Applesauce
* Crescent Rolls with Strawberry Jam
* Fudge Marble Bat Cake (original directions for the bat cake here)
* Coffee Ice Cream & Rainbow Sherbert
Now the birthday boy's in the living room, watching his new DVDs - 30 hours worth of the old PBS show Marty Stouffer's Wild America. Very appropriate for our bat boy, I think.
