Bumble Bee Baby Shower

The Thank you gifts.My sister Kim drew the pictures for the gifts. Here is a bee hive I made from a wicker pear I found at St.Vinney's. I painted it yellow and hot glued the little clay bees my sister and I made onto it.

The decorations.

I put bee stickers on the pom poms and lanterns.

The clay bees were also put onto wire and put in the flower bouquets.

The food all had a honey theme.

Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin, mashed potatoes. rolls with butter and honey. I also made lemonade and added honey to it, everyone loved it.

The cupcakes. I made fondant bees to place ontop.

So much to get done.

Summer is almost here ( 7 days by Wyatt's school calender, LOL) and it is time to figure how I am gonna fit the fun side and the work side in.
The fun side brings; parks, zoo trips, beaches, camping trips, play dates, etc.
The work side brings cleaning, organizing, party planning (that could go on both sides) and I also have a chance to help out in an office several times a week.
But how do I fit all this in a week.
Plus what makes it hard is alot of our fun trips depend on the weather. So if it super nice out some trips get planned at a spur of the moment.
Derek and I have decided for me to be a stay at home mom so I can be there with Wyatt (and the boys). Since he is now in school all day, summer is our time to be together and do fun things. But I have been doing a little extra side work to help out with bills. Which worked out great while Wyatt was in school, but now he will be out for the summer. So what to do.
Anyway thanks for listening to my rambling.

Moved in

Linen Closet fully labeled.

So we are fully moved in. We have bought everything we need to make this house a home. Derek wouldn't rest until it was ALL done.

Will post a few more pics of the laundry room and boys room later.

Star Wars party is DONE!!

Some of the decorations I did. I hung paper chains, the silver star garlan and I made the black star garland. They were just black star cardboard cutouts that I got on clearance at Party city and then I sewed them into a garland. I made a star wall with black plastic tablecothes and I got the stars at OTC.

Everyone had a great time at the party.

After we ate and the kids played for ever we sang happy birthday and blew out the Darth Vader candle.Wyatt couldn't wait to open his presents. Seriously he asked every 15 minutes, LOL. I never did get a picture of Wyatt of the kids in thier costume, but I did get one of them all playing. And I am so glad it was nice out, they all got to play outside most of the time.I got this box from a friend. It was her couch box and then it was a pirate ship at her sons peter pan party. And today it turned into a star ship.The food table. I saw all these cool food tags on the internet. I am not usually one for labeling my food, but come on Yoda ears (pickle spears) how cute is that.
I also made these light sabers with melting chocolate and pretzels rods. They were a huge hit and all three dozen were eaten.

The table and centerpieces turned out great. We had the dark and light side tables. The centerpieces were Wyatt's drawings that I scanned and copied. The poor kid got tired of drawing though so I ended up mixing in a few silver and gold star wars labels.

The Cupcakes my good friend, Nette, made. She is also the one who made the popcorn cupcakes last year for his carnival party.
