A Little of This, A Little of That

Well, after reading some blogs this morning, I am feeling like I need to be a little more creative with some of my blog post.  There are some REALLY creative mommy's out there.  I have to say that I am so impressed with mommies.  They are such good multi-taskers!  Here are a few things that have been going on around here.

We added this to our back patio last week.  Matt was able to watch the Master's while watching the boys in the backyard last Sunday! We have eaten dinner outside every night and been able to watch the news or cartoons! 

Brady is having a "superhero" party next weekend.  I thought we were having a batman/jumping party, but my little guy has planned an awesome "superhero" party.  Much cuter for a 3 yo.  He picked out the cutest invitations (I'll take a picture and post next weekend) that have a little brown haired little boy flying in his superhero costume.  Seriously, I was looking for a "jumpy/bouncey" invitation since we were are having it at Pump It Up, but he saw these invitations and said they were what he wanted.  O.K.!  Then we went by Party City and I was most unhappy with the selection, so I came home and started reading and dedided to do primary colors for the plates and napkins and a party favor idea was to make cape's! When we went to pick out his cake (the Batman cake he has been asking about since Oct., the one I was thinking was not going to really match our "theme").  Well, Brady saw a superman cake that looked very similar to his invites and said that was what he wanted.  It was cute and goes along with our "theme".  I am loving Brady and his choices right now!  Back to the capes...I have decided to make cape's for the children. 

First, I found out that I needed "Pinking Sheers" to cut with.  I ask my mother and she had several pair as well as my grandmother, but they were old and dull.  Matt's mom had his grandmother's, but they were dull too. So I headed to Micheal's and bought my first pair of Pinking Sheers (with a coupon)!  

 

So far I have cut out 5 hot pink, 5 red and 5 blue cape's.  I think I am going to do 5 more red.  Matt feels strongly that they need a something on the back.  I am planning on putting star's on them this weekend.  We are just going to tie the two corners together around their neck. 

FIGURES!!!!!  I don't think I have ever blogged about the amount of superhero figures we have at our house, so I am taking this opportunity to show just a few!  We have figures EVERYWHERE!

Spray Tans!!!!!!  I got one last weekend for La Fete and got so many compliments that I had to post a picture.  I had a little sun from tennis, but needed a little more help.  It is just now (a week later starting to splotch as it is wearing off).  Susan (2nd from right) and I did a spray machine.  Lindsey (in the middle) had a real person spray her.
