My little boy is FOUR!



So I have had my eye on the Hello, Cupcake cookbook for some time and my FABULOUS mother-in-law surprised me with it! I was so excited to let C* pick out a cupcake design wondering if he would choose the alligator, the sharks, the puppies......but no.....what does he choose?! The Slumber Party and he wanted the scared little boy reading the ghost book:) You can see that I (with my husband's help as I was having a hard time rolling out the airhead blankets) made one for each one of our family members.....C* and I both have red hair....well orange but you get the idea while B* and K* both have brown hair. These were really easy to make but a little time consuming!





We had a pretty lazy day of sleeping in, opening gifts, eating doughnuts, going to Toys-R-Us (to spend birthday money), and then heading to Chilis for dinner. With every gift C* opened he kept asking if it was going to be a Planet Heroes toy and unfortunately it wasn't.....he had a dress-up themed birthday which consisted of a fireman, swat team, star wars clone trooper, transformer bumblebee, and army guy costumes as well as a ds game; but lucky for him he had birthday money that he used to buy a few Planet Heroes toys as well as the Imaginext batman plane. If only my session in Chicago had been a little sooner I would have known that he wanted Planet Heroes toys....but we didn't go to his cousin's house until Friday and with his birthday being Saturday we had already finished shopping:) Anyway- we ended the day with cupcakes just before piling on the air mattresses on the family room floor for our sleepover. C* had had a nap so he was up late watching the Bee Movie but the rest of us started to doze mid-way through:)

Time flies! What fun dress up toys and cupcakes! I will have to remember the 'airhead' trick.
