The Reality of It...

This afternoon I was reading "Jack-Jack Attack" to Connley. When we came across this page...




...Connley said "That mom. Mom, it's you." So apparently this is what I look like. Jason said this is what I look like when he gets home from work. Sadly, and funny enough, they are both probably right.

PARTY!!!

We had a birthday party for Connley last Saturday. He is three! Wow! We had it at a park so the kids could just run around and play. We had pizza, chips, fruit, soda, and...cake. I decided to go with a WALL-E theme this year. Connley loves WALL-E, and well, so do I. I made WALL-E invitations, WALL-E decorations, WALL-E goodie bags, and of course, what would a WALL-E party be without a WALL-E cake?!? So I took on the challenge to make a WALL-E cake. Four boxed cake mixes, 8.5 pounds of frosting, and two days later we had ourselves a WALL-E cake. I stayed up till midnight the night before the party to finish the cake. The next morning when I showed Connley he was sooo excited and said "I like it!" Perfect reaction. Well, I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The best part is it all held together and it even tasted good! It was very sad when it came time to cut the cake, but totally worth all the effort of making it. Happy Birthday Connley!!

The Invitations...

This is the envelope the invitation came in.

The Goodie Bag...

Each goodie bag had a small pot with soil,

a small bag of seeds, and a small WALL-E.

The End of the Party...

Poor WALL-E. (or maybe poor me?!)
