Gavin turns 10!!

 
Pokeball Cupcakes



Lucario Cake

Last Saturday we celebrated Gavin's big 1-0 birthday. Gavin changed his mind....Oh about 50 times as to what kind of party he wanted and who all he wanted to invite. So we decided to go with a cookout at the house and then planned to take Gavin and the girls to do whatever he decided he felt like doing that afternoon. Gavin's theme was Pokemon, which he is very into right now and Danny's daughter Katdy made Gavin the coolest cake with a Lucario design (don't worry, I had no idea what that was either) and then cup cakes that looked like Pokeballs. Both were a huge success & very delicious.  The day started out as a rainy day dashing the plans for water balloons and swimming however the weather did finally clear up & everyone had a great time.  He had a few boys come over & the majority of the time was spent battling out various games on the wii. This suited Gavin just fine. Gavin's menu choice for the day was burgers & chips...no complaints there! Gavin did really well and his friends ended up staying thru the afternoon. When the rain relented the mini people went over to Aunt Jessica's for some swimming time with freinds followed by a little more video game fun. Though there were a few stressful moments, Gavin had a really good time when it was all said and done. He even really bonded with one of the boys who was able to come and is hoping they will end up in the same 3rd grade class next year. It's been a rough past few weeks for Gavin, so I was very happy see smiles! Gavin got some very cool gifts including a slew of Pokemon items, a foam water sword kit, a new Wii game & some $ and gift cards.

Art in the Park

It has been a wonderfully rainy Saturday. We spent the majority of the day today holed up indoors in cozy clothes watching movies and trash TV. As a whole, it was blissful. Sure the kids were BORED ( I know, because they told me about 65 Bazillion times) but nothing beats a rainy afternoon movie marathon & an excuse to wear gym clothes all day long. Well...not much does anyway. Before the downpour started we ventured out to Art in the Park. Heaven was *so excited*. She loves art and was thrilled to have a chance to see "real" artwork and talk with some "real" artists ( I was a little offended she does not consider me a part of this "real" artist list...I mean, she's seen what I can do with some glitter glue). Mr. Eric Cobb was at the top of her list. He's been a Bestie of mine for years and is amazingly talented. If you're in the market for some palette knife artwork, you should check out his fabulousness  for yourself. Totally not the ...

Treaters

Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time  & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet  (John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats) Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton.  As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided. Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really A...
