my goofy little annie girl is growing up too darn fast.
for her birthday she got a new coat, sparkly boots, mexican train, sunglasses, a baby doll and a new KU tee.
for her classroom treat she wanted chocolate cupcakes with pink icing and sprinkles.
as i walked through the grocery store with only 1.5 hours left to make those cupcakes i saw in the bakery….
chocolate cupcakes with pink icing and sprinkles.
i was very torn.
i stood there a good five minutes trying to decide if i should just buy them or go home and bake my own.
agony.
i went home and baked my own.
only because i hadn't asked annie what she wanted and
i didn't want to make any mistakes on the treats at the new school.
she said "mom…you can't send them with me…THE MOM comes in and brings the treats at this school!!"
oh my.
i think i did ok….as the new mom with the treats IN the room!!
for annie's party…
her art teacher from her old school came and led CRAFT time.
it was SO good.
Ms. Beth had their complete attention.
she brought Sculpey in lots of colors for each one of the kids.
and showed them how to make a couple of different projects.
they were so quiet.
it was awesome.
it was the best party we have ever had.
no joke.
it was so calm and quiet and fun.
they were mesmerized!
while we had dessert and opened presents Ms. Beth baked the projects so they were finished.
she put them in goodie bags with the kids names on it.
i HIGHLY recommend Beth for your party!
🙂
annie does too.
you can email Ms. Beth at:
byhwdy1 @ sbcglobal . net (without the spaces of course…..)
you can get in touch with her about all the fun parties at your house!!
you will LOVE it.
annie decided on parfaits instead of cake and ice cream.
we layered chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, mini marshmallows, whipped cream and mini chocolate chips.
and topped it of with an oreo.
Y U M M M M M M M M M M M M M.
and it was easy for them to bring home what they couldn't finish too.
her friends gave her craft kits and a set of legos.
she was PUMPED.
Happy Birthday to my 7 year old sweet pea.

Penny Smith - MAN! I missed the post, and my spam doesn’t go out that far! Darn it! And February is my birthday month.
If we got an email and it spammed, are we now off the list?? Cuz it has been so crazy since my Dad got sick, I haven’t been on much. Is there a way to check??
Air Jordan Shoes - Happy Birthday, Talby! My god daughter had a slumber party recently, but the girls all just came in their pyjamas for the day and left again after a few hours! :o)
Jennifer - In regards to Craft Weekend, were there people who didn’t make the cut for either weekend? Just curious because I didn’t receive an email. Thank you in advance 🙂
Happy Birthday to Talby!

Live_Long_Day - Happy Birthday, Talby! My god daughter had a slumber party recently, but the girls all just came in their pyjamas for the day and left again after a few hours! :o)
andrea - My Abbe turns 10 in January and Eian turns 7 this week! LOL so funny. Abbe had a slumber party two years ago with only a couple of friends. But Abbe doesn’t like to stay up. By 8 or 8:30 she is ready to go to sleep and gets grumpy! Now she is saying she wants to have another one in January. I told her we could do everything but have them stay. Come in their jammies/watch a movie/craft/etc./but GO HOME at around 8! She wasn’t very pleased with that option.
Kat - Good to know you are in the b’day season like us.
We have just had two b’days in Oct and two in Nov and I am all baked out.
You have done well to avoid a sleep over for that long.
My oldest is 9 and only had and also went to her first sleep over this year, but it was one girl sleeping over so that was easy.
Talby is a stunner like her Mamma.
Linda - I’m so excited about your craft weekends. And I don’t even get to come. I live in the Northwest and the air travel is just way too expensive to swing. I wish you would do an online version. I participated in a couple of those. I’d love to learn how you did the aprons and the bunting. SO fun. But for now I will live by proxy through pictures!
happygirl - I’m glad she had a good time. Slumber parties for middle school are the BEST!
TinaM. - man I sew {get it,lol} wish I could come to one of the crafting parties. why does kansas have to be soooo far away ?!
Kim - oh slumber parties. i think you were lucky – but it sounds like it turned out awesome. as a kid i always wanted them, but they never were my favorite in the end. 😉
but looks like everybody had a blast. cute scary stories sound like my kind of story. 🙂
PS can’t WAIT for craft weekend, and to see you and Kimberlee again! 🙂
Leslie @topofthepage - darn it, meg. sophie turns 10 in may, and that is what she wants to do. slumber party. i don’t want to do it. i’m pouting.
Alice H - wow 16 years and 4 kids without a slumber party! LUCKY!! Haha! My daughter who is almost 13 has had 5 slumber parties and my son who is 11 has had 4 of them. Ugh!
When I saw the first card, I was like “hey they aren’t the Johnsons’ lol.
Seriously Sassy Mama - Slumber parties are a blast!
Ryan - Love those pictures of Ashley’s family! 🙂
