The birthday party should have been last Wednesday, but due to a clogged drain had to be put off until today.

First they got their cake, a corn bread muffin. Unfortunately, they didn't trust the muffin ( ) so we crumbled it up and put it in a bowl. It wasn't until we added peas that they started showing interest in it. Next we tossed a few peas on the ground and finally in their pool. If you watch closely you'll see the peas being thrown in. That's when the party really got started.
