TCK (Third Culture Kid) Ramblings:
“You know you’re a TCK from multi cultural background
when your brain instantly blurts out appropriately answers
in languages you now seldom use.
Tonight for me it was German.
Last week it was Thai.”
– Bonnie Rose

Birthday Cake
Birthdays are always a great celebration and last week we got to celebrate one here at the house. The boys’ grandfather had his 60 something birthday. The boys love to be in the kitchen so we talked about making something special. So on the big day the boys and I spent our science period making a very chocolate cake with coconut oil. It was very yummy and super rich. But a nice special treat for someone celebrating a big birthday. The boys were excited to pick out cards and get balloons and presents. It was a fun evening.

9pm I did a 3 hour online photography course, followed by making cake pops. Now at 1245am I’m starting an acrylic painting. Sleep? Nah.
Circle
Maddox’s birthday is coming up and so it is time to start getting his party planning into order. If you remember I made Ronan’s Indiana Jones invitations back in January. For Maddox’s party this year he wanted a Super Hero party…more specifically a DC Justice League party. I decided to tie his theme together with a Comic Book Pop Art look. Here are the double sided invitations that I made tonight. The dots I think took the most time. Maddox says he really likes them and I look forward to making the decorations.

More Rain
Just spent the evening having a ‘Mummy and boys’ night while Ryan is doing his thing at Chatham house in London. I wish it was not a school night and I did not have a long work day tomorrow. Would have loved to stretch our fun night out longer. I love my two little men.
