The six-legged spider
Okay, Pictorial blog today. Have a son who turned 15 this week, and Saturday was the birthday party. Here in the family I make cakes with themes that the kids choose. Been a lot of interesting themes, which I blogged about previously, but this time the boy didn’t have an idea, so left it up…
