Four Months Late... Who's Counting?

I love throwing Caden's birthday party! I love to let him pick a theme and then we run with it. He is very creative and helps me with a lot of the planning. Yes, He's was 4, but it's his party. No, I didn't take all his ideas. Maybe just one. But we had fun.

This year we did a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party! YES TMNT! Just where did he learn about them? He found a stash of his Daddy's old VHS movies. We have a DVD/VHS combo so we get to watch a lot of the classics. He had only watched a few, but he fell in love with them. So about the time we were planning his party he was watching the movies about two times a day. Interesting enough they were coming back! Yes, Like in the stores. Way better, too!


Invites

I found a cute photo online and printed them in a 4x4 square. I used 'Paint' to make the pizza. Took them to Office Depot and they printed them. I made a 'pizza box' out of card stock. Don't ask me how I did it, I just folded and cut and made one. I made it flat so it could be mailed easily without getting crushed. I glued the turtle photo on the top, the TMNT logo on the pizza and glued the pizza in the box. On the inside top of the box was the details about the party.

I used streamers and googly eyes to make the mask.
What's a TMNT party with out the turtles?

I got these at Party City for $4.99 3/pk
Every 5 year old has to have a pinata!

Party Favors
We made nunchucks and pizzas! And everyone got a small goodie bag. I just found green paper bags and made them look like turtles with construction paper.
The nunchucks were made out of pipe insulators. I got two pieces at Lowe's for less than $5. I cut them into even pieces. We used skewers to make holes in them and used plastic string and orange duct tape to attach them. It was easy and then the kids had something to take home. Caden still has his. (yes 4 months)
Pizza!! I got 'break and bake' sugar cookies. Baked them. A can of cream cheese icing and used food coloring to make it red (sauce). I shredded white chocolate as the cheese and red M&M's as the pepperoni.
Cookie pizza supplies. Super easy!




Ta-Da!
We did a few games. These were our prizes.
Thank you Target $1 section!
Can turned into a cutlery holder.


Green Hawaiian Punch. TMNT cups from Walmart.





Cake pans $1 for 2 at the Dollar Tree, spray painted and taped construction paper to.
One for each turtle.


They just had to toss the shells in the bucket.
Worked great for all ages!




Mystery...They had to stick their hands in the soup. (Green Jello)
I had small prizes inside. Snakes and bouncy balls.


Say Cheese Pizza!!

Cake was from Sam's. Double decker cookie cake made to look like a pizza.
What do you think?


We had a great time. I love that we have friend that pour into our baby! 
Happy 5th Birthday to our small, funny, compassionate, crazy, funny face maker, blue eyed, mud diggin', bike riding, selfless, cookie monster!

Let's Recap 2010

This will kind of give you an idea of how I think. When I reflect on 2010, of course all the really big, or most recent things come to mind- L got married, Christmas was wonderful, we had a blast at the beach, we moved, and so on. But to really sit down and look over 2010 I just run down month by month and look at all my pictures. I wish I had a way to count all the pictures I took-it would take days!! So here is a fun recap of THEPRICEPRESS 2010 January 7th was the first snow! February 12th it snowed again! March it snowed some more!! In March we went with some friends (with $1 seats) to Atlanta Motor Speedway and got to see one of the biggest accidents of the season right in front of us...Redneck I know! March 20th M's brother got married!! April we got to celebrate Jesus's Resurrection. And my 27th birthday. May we had lots of ups and downs-M started working nights, and it really was not a fun adjustment!! And he turned 27th, too! =) June we went to the beach for sev...

Meltdown!

Well it's been forever since I've posted something. We've been busy, and when we are not busy, we are resting. That's my excuse! =) Caden just turned 18 months on the 1st. At his 12 month check up they told us that the "terrible two" are beginning and to watch out! Terrible two? No, not my sweet Caden. He's too sweet and laid back for that. And besides, I thought they started when they were two, not on their way to two. OK, so within the last month or two, Caden has begun to have these "meltdowns". They can happen anytime, day or night. Sleepy, or well rested. At home or in public. With family, or with people at church! It's just when he doesn't get his way. (But mainly when he wants to be outside.) Today we went outside for just a few minutes to get some fresh air, and let him play. By the way he LOVES outside. So I keep him on the front porch so he can stay out of the sun, and so I don't have to chase him all over Dahlonega-because,...

We're Back!

So I wanted to try to start blogging again. I went to my blog and I can't figure out how to work it. It's different, and I couldn't make it cute. So have moved back to Blogger. Here we are. This is my favorite time of year to do fun Pinterest crafts, so watch out! I will try to feed the family and wash clothes, but for the most part, you can find me some where doing a DIY project. 'Til then-Bye!
