wall-e birthday party

today we attended lane's 7th birthday party. the theme was wall-e, and danielle did some really neat-o things. the cake was fantastic and cute. i loved it! i love the oreo crumbs that look like dirt.

she also made those butterscotch haystacks, but formed them in ice cube trays so that they would look like little blocks like wall-e makes from trash.

i also like that she put the silverware in aaron's dump truck.. what a fun idea!

here's the birthday boy, he got a bean bag chair for playing video games in..

blowing out his candles..

aaron was very cheerful for the whole party..

oscar wore his wall-e shirt and his hand-me-down sweater. i thought he looked smashing!

whatnots for ninja

i had so much fun making these things for ninja...

i made a reversible leaf bib,

a reversible diaper tote,

and two pairs of booties that match the bib and tote. i had seen this pattern for kimono booties on etsy, and i thought they were super cute... i never ended up buying it, because i found this free tutorial. i made the first pair using the free pattern and then changed the next two until i liked them better. the same seller also had a leaf bib and i thought that was a good idea.

then i found this newborn hoodie in the clearance stuff at walmart... it looked so snugly and ohio statey that i had to get it. i had so much fun making the other booties (it's such a quick project!) that i thought i'd make him some to match his hoodie (and dad's diaper tote).

i hope the booties stay on alright.. i'm going to need some feedback so i know whether or not to keep making them (or if the pattern should be changed some more). i had thought about making some for my favorite breastfeeding clients when they have their babies.

i have this post saved in my bloglines, and every time this painting comes up, i love it... i dont see it on her website, so i'm guessing it's sold since tuesday...

breastfeeding class

i'm getting ready to go to hattiesburg with kristen. we're going to observe a breastfeeding class in preparation for our class on the 16th. the LS for that county requested a batch of booby cupcakes for the class, so i whipped some up last night. i'm going to be a booby cupcake expert soon! i'm excited for tonight.. it feels almost like a girls night out (only i'm getting paid for it!)

yay!

i just finished up the things i was making for ninja! yay!

oscar kept asking "whatcha makin'?"

and i'd say "a _____"

and he'd say "for ninja?"

and i'd say "yeah! for ninja!"

saying that over and over kept him occupied for about 15 minutes.

now i'm off to wrap and pack so that monday morning i can ship! i'll post pictures once the package makes it to ohio.

ps. this is my 100th post! woo!

game night

tonight we had a family fun game night. jeremy had the day off and spent it fishing with his buddy in mobile. when he got home we surprised him with a beautiful picture (from oscar), some chocolate covered pecans (shelled and dipped by me), and johnny marsetti for dinner. after that, jeremy won our 3 hour game of trivial pursuit and i thoroughly kicked his butt at boggle. we both decided that we should have game night more often. oscar didnt participate in the games, but did get lots of fritos and chocolate milk.

invitations/fliers

yay! we finally get to have a breastfeeding class for wayne county! kristen put me in charge of making the invitation/flier. the one in front is for mailing out and handing out to people. the one in back has all the dates for the year and is for posting on bulletin boards at the health dept, hospital and drs office.
