Great Grandma Just Passed, How Do I Tell 5 and 3 Year Old?

My grandmother (kids great grandmother) just passed away yesterday and I've not told my children yet. I'm just having a hard time even getting the words out. We see her about once a month, and the children talk about her... so it's someone they know and love. This will hurt them, but how do I minimize that pain, they're still so young. I just got some books at the library, but I'd love some guidance about others who have gone through this with young ones. Thank you so much!

Good Birthday Cakes?

My son will be turning 4 soon and I'm looking into good birthday cakes. He loves the movie Cars and anything with superheroes, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg. Just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions other than safeway or baskin robbins. I'm open to the cupcake route, too. Thanks for any recommendations!
