Three

This past weekend, we celebrated Cullen's birthday with our family and friends.  The party was a great success, and by that I mean that there were lots of screaming kids, tired parents and one very happy Birthday Boy.

At times, it seems like my son was born with a spatula in one hand and a pot in the other, so I decided to have a cooking themed birthday party.  I made personalized aprons for everyone, the kids made their best rendition of personal pizzas and the cooking portion of the party hit a crescendo when the kids decorated their own cupcakes.  The ratio of icing to cake was definitely an issue with most of the kids, most of whom wisely decided not to eat their creations, but a $5 bet was on the table for any party guest that would; there were no takers.

Happy Birthday, Cullen.  We love you.

Olympics Party

This Friday, friends and family gathered to watch the opening ceremonies of the XXX Olympic games and it was awesome.  There were lots of Pinterest inspired delights and an Olympic ring installation that came out almost better than I expected.  Please enjoy some pictures of the day.  I will be posting some how to's in the days to come.

It'll Be Glamorous

This past weekend was the Kentucky Derby-- and Cinco De Mayo!  My ladies and I decided to go all out and as Jill astutely predicted, "It'll be glamorous."  And it kinda was.  The big hats, the mint juleps, the 30 second burst of excitement during the race all transpired to make the day seriously glamorous-- and the red lipstick most certainly helped.

Here are some pictures of us celebrating, notice I didn't say winning, because we were all losers.  Wah, wunh.
