Everett is FIVE! Superhero Birthday Party

Everett requested a superhero party for his 5th birthday...and that it be "boys only"...no sisters allowed!  So we did the party on his actual birthday while the older kids are still in school...one of the only good things about TK and Kinder being half day!

Sweets table...I made the banner with my Cricut cutter, I found the superheros online and then blew them up, printed them, cut them out and mounted to dowels...
I made the cupcake toppers in Photoshop using the same superheros I found online...


Every superhero needs a cape and mask, right?

Happy birthday to YOU!
And who doesn't need another big bag full of candy right after Halloween? Pinata time!

Happy Thanksgiving!


Welcome Fall!

Since I haven't updated in a while, here are the fall highlights...

We celebrated grandpa's birthday with a little apple crumble...

Passed out a little welcome to fall treat to Ella's class...

Ella had another Indian Princess campout the first weekend of November...

So Everett had another mommy son date night!

And the next day, he ran in the Dino Dash!

I worked in Everett's classroom where we made crowns for his school Thanksgiving feast...

Ella celebrated Cadence's birthday by seeing the Trolls movie...

We spent a morning during Thanksgiving break at Irvine Park with friends...

And Everett had his last soccer game, where he scored TEN goals and received his 3rd MVP award!!

Halloween 2016!

I convinced the kids to coordinate for one more year!!  Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf!

And the last 4 years...
We had a little dinner pre-party at our house before trick-or-treating...

The kids couldn't wait long to TOT!


Some of the mamas!

Fall Festivities

The annual Halloween costume parade and school party for Ella!  Apparently Everett's school doesn't do this stuff??

It was also red ribbon week, and this was "dress like a rainbow" day to encourage eating a rainbow of foods every day!

Our friends had a "Fall Fest" party, including pumpkin decorating!
And there was even a little E.T. watching...
