William - First day of Pre-Primer (4 year old preschool)
at Jackson Academy.
He is in Mrs. Ingram's class - the "Mickey Mouse" class.
Conner Beth - First day of 6th grade!!
She is so excited.. The kids change classes all day this year. She is in Mrs. Lucas' homeroom with her best friend, Catherine.
Conner Beth and Wiggy were both in Jamie and Jonathan's wedding this past weekend. This is one of my favorite pictures...and as much as I love it - it makes me sad to think of how quickly they are growing up. Conner B looks like a high school girl - and my little Wig looks like a little man in his tux and with his hair all brushed (those of you who see him regularly know that his hair NEVER looks like this). I guess they clean up nicely...at least once a year.
Eggs...
Our attempt at being Martha Stewart...
Our beautiful dozen.. actually 3 dozen.
BIG Easter weekend surprise...
Conner Beth was interviewed for WJTV's Future Stars Wednesday night segment by Jason Hurst on Saturday afternoon. He was really nice and she did a great job!
Easter Sunday Morning -
William's Grandmother painted this adorable Superman Sign for a cute photo op.
Before the boys...
Loved his cake - the bottom layer is chocolate (his fave), top two layers were white, butter cream icing with a fondant Super William cape down the side.
The jumper was his big birthday gift from grandparents! Thank you ... thank you.. thank you.
This was the Kryptonite Catch game... we told the boys that Superman needs to be saved from Kryptonite...and the green balloons were suppose to represent Kryptonite...they had to fill their "lead bags" with Kryptonite in order to save Superman.
This activity was learning how to spin a web like Spiderman. The object was to hit the moving red balloon...but they had more fun aiming at William's sister, Conner Beth!
As we got ready to sing Happy Birthday, two villians ran through the kitchen a "stole" our cake. (I had secretly moved the real cake into the laundry room and replaced it with this cardboard replica made by sister.) Then, we instructed the boys to save the party and the cake by stopping the villians with silly string! What fun! This was William's favorite part of the party - he had no idea it was going to happen.
Thanks to our villians - who are sweet girls in real life, Conner Beth and our neighbor, Megan.
Our birthday boy with the real cake! :)
Party favors - I painted little wood pegs from Hobby Lobby to look like those old fashioned Fisher Price guys. Each one has a Super Guy - personalized to look like the little boy attending the party...and then three other randoms imaginary super heroes.
Our party gang!
NOTE: I've stared a new creative blog with my sister - Eat Pray Party! - with inspiration for real life. It's a place where real moms can submit recipes, real parties, and prayer requests. Please check it out. We're just starting and would love to have your suggestions!
