Happy Halloween 2015

This year we were successful at doing a family themed costume. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too! Oliver was the one who choose that Debbie should be Rabbit and Eric should be Eeyore. We pulled it off pretty well.

 Teddy has Pooh bear was pretty cute. When you see him from the top he just looked like a little bear. And to top it off, Pooh Bear is one of Teddy's many nicknames. That is actually what inspired the costume. And we already had the Tigger outfit.

 Here is the candy stash. The kids got tired so we had to cut the night short. But they still got a ton of candy. And mostly only good stuff.

Cute babies

Well I thought it would be fun to put my kids in the Gerber baby contest and then I missed the deadline.

This first picture was what I would have put up for Teddy.

 Little raggamuffin here.

 He looks like he has a toupee here.

 Sage gave us a cute superbaby outfit.

 Oliver asked me to take this picture. Sometimes his posed pictures look a little bit... crazy.

Oliver's Birthday Party

Oliver's birthday party turned out to be so much fun. Almost all of his friends were able to make it and they all played so nicely. The only problem that we ran into was that it got dark faster than I expected and we don't have any lights on the side of the house. But it was also nice to keep it short.

Remember this kid and his love for Toy Story? Well, we decided to do a Toy Story themed party because of moments like these.  And the fact that after Disney World every other sentence was "Mom, for my birthday I want a big slinky dog, a big Buzz Lightyear with wings, a big zurg, and a big rex."

I'm extremely proud of the cake that I made.

We had a Mr. Potato Head station.

Snacks which included Hamm's ham and Mr. Potato Head's popcorn. We also had a pin the part on Mr. Potato Head.

Oh, and we had play dough ice cream. Yum.

Maisy.

And apparently I didn't get a picture of it, but we also had a play dough table and a coloring table with Toy Story pictures. Perfect party for 3 year olds.

Also, don't forget to look at the post that I did right before this about some remodeling projects.
