Happy 5th Birthday, Batgirl!


I completely lost track of the time and realized that I never posted about e's birthday. So, here goes...

We started out the morning in our pajama's opening family presents. Our creative, artsy girl got the perfect gift of an easel complete with paper, paints, whiteboard and chalkboard. Endless hours of creativity will be enjoyed. She also got a dog that grows, which, if you ask me, is pretty dang creepy... and money not well spent. Notice the crown and earrings? A necessity when you turn 5.

The nice thing about having a birthday so close to Halloween is that you can have a costume/birthday party. And when e decided that she wanted to have a 'super spookey costume birthday party', I was in heaven. I LOVE Halloween and there are sooo many things that you can do with that kind of a theme.

Like have a haunted house cake, blood shot eyeball cupcakes and dip, mummy toes for a main course and creepy, crawly snack mix. The use that I have gotten out of the Woman's World magazine that I bought off the check stand a year ago was well worth the $2.50 I paid for it.


Of course, no Halloween party is complete without naked bobbing for apples. No, seriously that wasn't required, but we did bob for apples. e wasn't buying in on the day of the party, but figured it out the day after.


We encouraged parents and adults to dress up and they did! Barry Bonds, Ricky Bobby and Harley Trailer came.


Blogger is killing me right now. To be continued...
