“Mama, wake up already. MAMA!” Alfred shouted in your ear.
What a way to wake up.
“Thanks, Alfie. Thanks a lot.” You yawned.
“Oh come on mama! It’s Mattie’s birthday today. We need to make a surprise for him!” Alfred said, practically dragging you out of bed.
“Where is Mattie?” You asked, lifting your eldest son onto your shoulders and walking downstairs.
“In bed, asleep.”
“Okay then. We will need to be quiet so we don’t wake him then. We want this to be a surprise, don’t we?” You smiled, setting Alfred down at the table.
“What are we going to do for him then?”
“Well,” You said, walking up to the fridge and placing some ingredients on the counter. “We’ll make him a special birthday breakfast, and a cake for lunch. Then we’ll have to wrap his presents!”
“Alright! We should make pancakes for breakfast! Mattie LOVES pancakes!” Alfred exclaimed.
“Good idea, hun.”

So you and Alfred started making breakfast for Mattie. You pulled a chair up against the counter so Alfred could stand on it to help make the pancakes. Soon the mixture was ready and it was time for the exciting part! Flipping the pancakes! After the third pancake had been flipped, Alfred was desperate to have a go.

“Fine. But be careful. Frying pans are hot.”  You warned, cautiously handing him the pan and pouring some mixture into it.

Well let’s just say that didn’t go to plan. Alfred, being his hyper self, flung the pancake up into the air, above him and his mama’s heads and came down splat on his face. You couldn’t help but laugh at the scene.

“Not. Funny.” Alfred said as he picked the pancake of his face and threw it into the bin.
“Aww, can the hero not handle a bit of humour?” You said in a mocking tone, a grin plastered on your face.
“Of course he can! I can prove it!” Alfred exclaimed.
“So what’s the little minx gonna do? Throw pancake mix in my face?” You joked.  Little did you know that he was, until it was too late.

Splat.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Was all you could hear echoing through the house as you wiped the mixture of your face.
“Aw Al! You got it in my hair!” You exclaimed, rinsing your (h/c) hair in the sink. “Let’s just get on with the cake – shall we?” You said, getting more ingredients out of the fridge.

“Yeah!”

So next on the list was the cake. After a few suggestions from your son, (e.g.  Bright, Neon colours) you both decided on a vanilla cake with a maple leaf design in icing on the top. While the cake was in the oven, Alfred happily sat at the table eating the leftover mix from the bowl whilst you washed and dried the dishes. After 45 minutes, the cake was out of the oven and placed on the counter to cool down.

“Let’s go get dressed while it’s cooling.” You said, picking Alfred up and finding something for him to wear. After the pair of you had gotten dressed, you did your teeth, brushed your hair and went back into the kitchen to check on the cake.
“Al, why don’t you go watch some cartoons while I ice the cake?” You suggested.

“Okay!”

You were pretty impressed with your icing skills. You had a plain white background with a red maple leaf in the middle and written Happy birthday Matthew in black icing pen. You covered the cake and went to find the presents and wrapping paper for Mattie’s presents.

“Mattie’s gonna love his surprise, mama!” Alfred exclaimed, writing out a card for his little brother. You smiled as he then attempted to wrap the presents from him in gold wrapping paper. He had gotten Matthew a teddy bear that looked just like his favourite one – Kumajirou, but instead of white it was a honey colour. He had also got him a red scarf that was really warm and fluffy. You had got Matthew a red hoodie, sweets, a big picture book about bears and some DVD’s. Once all the presents were wrapped up, you carried them into the kitchen and arranged them on the table. You then set out the pancakes, poured out two glasses of orange juice for both of the boys and then made a coffee for yourself.

“Alfie, why don’t you wake your brother up now?” You smiled, as Alfred charged up the stairs and returned a few minutes later with his little brother at his side.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW!” You and Alfred cheered as the two boys sat down to their breakfast. After they finished the home-made pancakes, Matthew started to open his presents. His face was full of happiness and thanks as he put his new hoodie on and scarf. You went to find Kumajirou so he could ‘meet his new friend’. After a while of trying out all of his new presents, Matthew walked into the kitchen to find you holding a maple leaf cake full of candles with Alfred belting out ‘Happy Birthday’ at the top of his lungs.
“Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Mattie,
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuu~!”

As you all sat down to eat the cake, Matthew turned to you and Al and smiled.
“Thank you for such a wonderful birthday.” He said in his whisper-like voice, smiling from ear to ear.
