H Turns 10

Image
H celebrated his 10th birthday this week. The week unfortunately was full of hiccups. :( He turned 10 on Tuesday.. being a school day we kept it simple and went out for an early dinner.. restaurant of his choice, Cheesecake Factory. On Wednesday H got braces and was miserable all day.  Thursday was fine.  Friday he threw up in school, in the school parking lot and again at home. More misery for the birthday boy. He did muster up enough strength to sit at the kitchen counter and observe me decorate his birthday cake.  Every year we order an undecorated Wegmans birthday cake and then decorate it ourselves. He ordered a vanilla cake with a lemon custard filling.     The zhuzhed up version. The party was going to be held at a monster mini golf place hence the monsters and eyeballs.  Later we were having family over for dinner and H insisted he want to serve brownies with dinner. Insisted he wanted to make them from scratch and they must included chopped up Halloween candy. He was too sick

A Mini Golf Birthday Bash

My not so little D turned 8 last week. He wanted to have a mini golf birthday party. The closest mini golf place was about 30 minutes away from our place.. I worried people were not going to want to make the 30 minute plus drive. It was in the end of June so I worried about the heat. We booked an evening time for the party.. the mini golf place called SwingTime offered us a mini golf and arcade package. They would order the food.. provide popcorn and drinks.. I sent out the invitations using Paperless Post . I have mentioned them before on the blog and this is my third time using them to send out invites and I love how seamless the process is, how cute the cards are. As usual waiting for the RSVP's is the most watching water come to a boil type job.. but surprisingly this time people replied quickly.. but that wasn't necessarily a good thing since all the replies where regrets. Most people had immediate vacation plans :( The favors were a golf club and ball along
