Like mother, like daughter...

Yesterday was a BUSY day. It started with a kids triathlon at the YMCA and some 60 kids aged between 6 and 11 entered. Bathed in strong sunshine and with temperatures approaching 80F, Raina crossed the line in 2nd place in her age group (6-7) and was the first girl home. We celebrated with an ice cream and by accidentally setting the car alarm off (which we then couldn't stop!!!)




It was also Raina's birthday on Thursday and we celebrated that yesterday too. It was a sushi party at Raina's request and we made our own rather than buying in. It was a lot of fun and we have plenty of leftover for today too. Tuna, cream cheese, and asparagus makes an excellent sushi roll.

Homemade sushi, as good as store bought too!
Raina's Cog/Dat cake
Raina wanted a cat birthday cake so I made the following. It looks like the hybrid lovechild of a cat dog relationship, hence a cog or dat, but Raina loved it anyway.
