D Turns 11

-
D turned eleven last week. And we had  a little party. 

As per tradition we bought our plain white butter cream chocolate cake from Wegmans and decorated it ourselves. The theme was water tag.



It was the perfect sunny day and the kids had a blast





We sorta dropped the ball on taking a picture of the cake cutting.. I had to take a screen shot of a video.


Each kid went home with a water gun, some water balloons and a couple of snacks. All in all a good day and most definitely D's last organized birthday party. phew.

    Happy birthday to D! And what a fun party he had. Decorating one's own cake is a wonderful idea, too. D must have been chuffed to have his grandparents at his birthday party too! xxx

    It looks wonderful - and the water pistol was the icing on the cake (literally AND figuratively).

    What a fun birthday party! Everything is wonderful, and you made it extra nice by giving the kids favors to take home. The birthday cake looks so Yummy, and it was nice that he could decorate it himself. Your yard looks green and groomed for his special day. What a wonderful birthday celebration. Thanks for sharing. I do miss those parties when the kids were little, and oh, we had the most unique themes each year. Yours was fantastic!

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in the floori

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making
