The 2 hour window that the sun decided make a showing gave us just enough time for the kids to find 300 eggs in my parents backyard garden! This is the backyard before the chaos.
We even had a little hunt for the adults... a beer bottle hunt that is.
I still can believe she's nine! She had to option of a sleepover with 3 friends or a party with 9 friends. She choose the one that let her invite more! She had a hard time making her final invite list so she got away inviting 10 since she just had such a hard time choosing.
we didn't have face painting at the party,
she went to another event earlier but Wyatt loved her butterfly face!
Sliders (I always think of Lola when I have these) and hot dogs were on the menu for the party. Dinner special consisted of watermelon, drink and a hotdog & burger for $5.00
Just finished with a bridal open house over at Fusion and I didn't have enough time to post these ahead of time.
Well it's official, I launched another blog to show off all the stuff I make... so you can also find me at

I love making birthday party invites and I was lucky to hold on to this little guy a few weeks ago (during a very crappy day) so I was happy to re-pay the snuggle time with a birthday invite design. The real one isn't blurry, promise.
I haven't seen the top of my kitchen table since Friday night... but it's all worth it because I made the first batch of my wares. Celebration banners of all colours! I use these for all kinds of celebrations - birthday parties, baby showers, easter, christmas, basically any reason to make the house all festive. I'm hoping that there will be other crazy mom's out there that will want to buy them for $10/each... if they don't I'll have a nice selection of banners for all the upcoming celebrations.
For Maya's birthday we trekked to Future Shop to pick up her dream camera - the one Avril Lavigne uses. She has been dreaming of this camera since Christmas and has been saving all of her travel, Easter, Valentines and Birthday money for it. Even with that she came up a lot short, but I couldn't bare her face and eyes welling up when I told her that it was way over her budget. So we kicked in money and watched her face light up with pride! But after playing with it and taking all the pictures for the party, it's me now in camera envy. I love it!
Here are some pictures of all the fun.
These are all pictures from the prep stuff... check out the SWAG bags - I even impressed myself with these awesome little purses full of loot including - a personal notebook, personalize charm necklace, sparkly lotion and a yummy candy treat. And you can check out my little Gwen Stefani too!
