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!

Picking It Back Up

It's been a minute. Actually it's been five years.  I'll just say life got crazy busy adding our girl.  So let's start with today. Today I am sitting and thinking about everything. Life. We are currently living in an apartment in Macon. A loft apartment, meaning it's real expensive. Not much more about it is fancy. We do have an elevator but that's about it. We are in the meh, middle stages of building our house. June 2018, we bought 21.55 acres in a spot in the road called Forsyth. It's just outside of McDonough (where we grew up) and Macon. We looked in lots of places, tired to decide where we wanted to raise our kids. We wanted excellent schools and wanted to in a good church. June 2019, we sold our house on April Drive in Conyers and moved to The Lofts at Bass while we built our home. We wanted to go ahead and get the big kids in school where they would be once the house was complete. They are there!  We are hoping to be in it by Halloween. Our bu...

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!
