Dalton's 2nd Birthday Party

.....
So, this post is a little late but back in June we celebrated Dalton's 2nd birthday. This year Dalton wanted a Mickey Mouse birthday party. I was able to make some really fun things for his party like pinwheels and Mickey Mouse party hats. For his friend goodies I made a "Dalton's Mix CD" full of Disney and Pixar movie music. I wanted to make it a classic Mickey Mouse party so I decided to stick with a black, red, and yellow color theme. Since I couldn't find any classic Mickey Mouse party supplies I decided to make my own. I ended up using black paper plates and bought a Mickey Mouse stamp that I used to stamp the white napkins and pinata candy bags.
.....
Unfortunately the week of Dalton's party the whole family got sick with the flu and we had to postpone the party to the following week. I had so many other things going on that week also that I wasn't able to make a grand Mickey Mouse cake and had to stick with cupcakes. I was very sad and it took a lot of convincing myself that it is not the end of the world if I don't have a grand birthday cake for my son. So, like I said, I ended up making what I like to call "Suprise Cupcakes". I made a chocolate cupcake that had an oreo at the bottom with a cream cheese whipped cream frosting. (Which, in the future I would avoid the whip cream frosting for an outside party and probably just stick with some buttercream that would hold up a lot better.) Sooo yummy! I made the Mickey faces a few days ahead of time and cut them out of fondant using a miniature cookie cutter I purchased online. I also custom made the cupcake stand to match the theme of the party! My friend, Mindy, made some Mickey Mouse suguar cookies that she decorated with buttercream icing and fondant. Sooooo yummy, too! And of course we had to get a Mickey Mouse pinata. We had a blast! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us!!!

The second important thing would be to compare the various
metals and alloys utilized in the flatware pieces.
It is also employed in ovens so that the roasts
could be browned for a few time. The banging of pans and pots, the
clinking of flatware, the gentle ring of china touching china can all be heard as preparations progress for the holiday meal.






Connley's High Tech Space Shuttle

Connley and I built a space shuttle for him the other day. He kept sitting inside this box that I was meaning to throw away and decided that he was having so much fun with it that we should color it and make it something cool. So it is his NASA space shuttle, called Space Shuttle Connley. Once completed I had him sit in it and I pushed him around the apartment until I just about fell over dead (like after one minute!). So, that was our fun little project!
