oscar again.

as it turns out...

oscar is 3.
i'm sure you were wondering and wondering all day...
and as i suspected we didn't make up our minds until 3 candles were poked into the cake. it is true what they say...everything just looks better in threes.
the lemon poppyseed cake was enjoyed by all...especially by hugh's tongue.
happy birthday you funny old sock puppet!

oscar

meet oscar...the sock puppet.
oscar is the newest addition to our family. actually, i made him quite some time ago and was rather disappointed when hugh wasn't IMMEDIATELY taken with him. but since the passing of our dear pup, oscar has stepped in as...well, i guess one could say...our family pet. he speaks in an english accent {because i will take any opportunity to practice my accents}...sometimes he talks too loudly and sometimes he {accidentally} spits when he talks...but mostly he is hilarious {thank you very much} and brings joy and friendship to hugh. oscar is a great companion for picnics, sing-a-longs and bike rides. but he's not so great when it comes to playing in the sandbox, eating ice cream and sipping tea. {although being english it does seem he might be good at the latter}
anyway, as it happens oscar is having a birthday tomorrow. he is turning 3...no wait 4...no definitely 3. i'm sure his age will be finalized when the candles go on the cake!
