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!

THE Wedding

Yes, It was a week ago, but blogging isn't my only chore. Last Saturday, November 6th my baby L got married. She was so beautiful! I was so honored to be apart of that day. I remember when she met J. We were all a little sceptical about it. He was a friend of a high school classmate, and it was a blind date. But they met and had a good time and it was history from there. The first time I met J, L, asked M and I to go to the Cumming Country Fair with them. M and I being country music fans were very excited to go. Because M and I started dating so long ago, he is like a big brother to L. They both bicker and protect each other like siblings. Michael kind of had a gut feeling J was going to be a good guy because he like Charlie Daniels and he knew the old country songs. After the concert we stopped my DQ, and had ice cream. For those of you that don't know, M doesn't like chocolate. Well at least that is what he says, but he will eat peanut M&M's, snickers, an...

Twas the Month Before Christmas

This was sent to me is an email and I thought it was cute and very true!! Twas the Month Before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. See the PC Police had taken away The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say December 25th is just a ' Holiday '. Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda. As Targets were hanging their trees upside down At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found. At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ea...

Coupon Queen

Ok so my newest craze is couponing. My mother in law invited me to a couponing class a few weeks ago and I went. I had heard of couponing, but never looked into it to see how it worked. So, once I went to the class, I looked into it a little more. Wow, how easy it is to save money. All you have to do is go to a website and she tells you everything you need to know. She does all the work. You just have to decide what you want and where you want to go. So last night I went to Kroger...my store of choice. And I spent $89.00. But, I have $72 in coupons and sales!! Wow! I can get used to this. I called M and told him and then had to call someone else..so I called Dad. Call me the Coupon Queen. I can't wait for the next sale paper and coupons to come out!!! If you want to know more about it and live near me. Im going to another class this Sunday night. Or you can go on the website yourself. southersavers.com  She is very detailed and helpful. I've just done this one time, but she s...
