She's Back!!!

Ava hair is finally back in its usual bob, she wanted to grow it out for a while, didn't look so hot, so after a little bribe with a webkin, she's back to her cute bobbed self.

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY

Yes, Everett's pillow will be wet tonight because all of his aunts and cousins forgot his birthday. (come to think of it I did to until someone reminded me this morning, but thats not the point) Yes, poor Everett, no dad, no cake and no presents (from me anyways, actually, he does have one very good aunt named Bethany who remembered his birthday and bought him two presents!) Ellen was nice to get him some cupcakes from Safeway so we at least could get some pictures and pretend that we had a party. so here are some "birthday party pictures" enjoy. (I know this is a wierd post, its kindof an thing we do in our family, forget each others birthdays and laugh about how the other one had to cry themselves to sleep, just another fun family tradition.)

for your viewing pleasure

Boy eating dirt. ps, why am I blogging when I should be picking out paint colors, stone, tile, carpet, and trim? pps, did i mention we're building a house?

birthday woes

I love to go to parties, I HATE THROWING THEM!!!! So tomorrow is Savannah's b-day but I thought it would be easier just to have one after school, kids could ride the bus home, yada yada yada, anyways after 4 different walmart/ target trips I finally thought I was ready to throw this party. wrong. After much positive feedback from Vivi's cake I somehow got it in my head I could totally decorate cakes. so so wrong. one of the major regrets I have of today is i didn't have a picture of the totally horrible cake i made and threw into the garbage. (which took me HOURS by the way). So this is how my day went:

spent three hours on cake, threw in garbage

cleaned kitchen

made new cake

cleaned kitchen

made cupcakes for class

cleaned kitchen

prepared games for party (included food)

cleaned kitchen

feed two whiny children marshmallows, cake

started party

was through with all my games 15 minutes later!!!!!

had six bored seven year olds to entertain for two more hours!!!!!!!

next year- BOWLING ALLEY
