Autumn colors are finally starting to appear in the Midwest over the weekend!

A random red leaf here.
A stunning orange leaf there.

I edited my photo to create the Fall colors

In a recent post (https://esteem.app/neonexianphotochallenge/@ninahaskin/neoxian-city-photo-challenge-week-4-children)

I was disappointed my son had turned 20-years-old and for the first time since he was born, we didn't get to celebrate his birthday together because of a two-day service project he was committed to do with his fraternity.

So at least one of us was glad his fraternity had another two-day service project over this past weekend. I finally got the opportunity to have him blow out candles, celebrate, and take his traditional birthday photo to add to my "mom" scrapbook! ๐Ÿ“ท

This was the tshirt the volunteers wore. (JDRF stands for Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund - Type 1 Diabetes) The fundraiser was a 5K Sponsored Walk that starting at 6:30am Saturday morning and the guys had to do the event setup the night before

My son isn't a huge fan of traditional birthday cakes. He prefers those flat round chocolate chip cookie cakes. Instead, I made him the homemade chocolate chip cookie brownies you see in my photos.

You make two bowls of batter, one with brownie mix that you spread on the bottom of the cake pan and the second one is for the chocolate chip cookie mix that you form into balls and place on top of the brownie mix.

Anyone else here like to eat the dough before it gets baked or lick the bowl? ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ
Mmm!

I didn't want you to feel left out @c0ff33a so I made this gif from a poster I saw while shopping especially for you. Do you see the word SUBLIME at the top?

Holy wowsers!!! That is exactly the type of chocolate cookie cake my son likes! Guess I need a cast iron pan to make it properly. My daughter tried making one once on a regular pan. Epic fail! It burned on the edges and was raw in the center! Being twenty was okay, I think I'd prefer to be 25 again.

Happy Bโ€™day to your son, Nina @ninahaskin. ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽ‚. What a great idea on making a cake he will enjoy. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ’•

ย  ยท ย 5 years agoย 

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes, Jo!๐Ÿ’• He's a sucker for homemade brownies and I don't mind having the kitchen smelling like a bakery๐Ÿช

ย  ยท ย 5 years agoย 

Wow that gif is epic, and Sublime - the brownies look delicious and perfect for a twentieth birthday. But surely you arenโ€™t old enough to have a son that old. Awesome edits in the leafs at the start, love the colours in them. !COFFEEA 15

Always love when you drop by and thank you for the coffee. One never can have too much quality coffee! The chocolate chip brownies were a hit with my son and he took the rest back to share with his roommate.๐Ÿช That SUBLIME poster was cool. I want to butmy it and add the word SUNDAY at the bottom for you! Btw, you're welcome to use the gif and Sublime images anytime @c0ff33a Appreciate the age compliment but I'm old. I also have a 28-year-old daughter. See you later today for Sublime Sunday!

Happy 20th to your son and i like to eat the dough before it gets baked or lick the bowl i use to do it every time my mum baked these cakes ๐Ÿ˜œ

ย  ยท ย 5 years agoย 

Aww,thanks -- how sweet of you! You're probably got that extra sweet from all the extra bowl licking and cookie dough consumption you did๐Ÿ˜›
Hope your mum makes you some of your favorites when you next visit her!

ย  ยท ย 5 years agoย 

Haha...your to nice and i still do it now when i visit my mum...lol ๐Ÿ˜œ
