Freaky Just Got Fabulous!

After a bit of a hiatus created by a series of very unfortunate events, Bee is back and ready to blog!  What better way to conquer the frustrations of life than to have a party!

Miss Catherine turned 8 last week and we celebrated over the weekend with a Monster High themed bash at Pump It Up! Pump It Up is an inflatable play arena...we had the whole arena filled with jumping castles, obstacle courses, and giant slides reserved just for our party guests!  It was a blast!



Coming down the ginormous slide!

(I made personalized student ID party favors for each of the guests!)


After an hour of crazy bouncing fun, we headed into to the "Creepeteria" for pizza and cupcakes!
  




My new favorite cupcake topper...the candy crown cupcake pick
These little tasty beauties were made by yours truly!


Monster High student "Lagoona Blue", daughter of the Creature from the Black Lagoon,  came by to visit our birthday girl and her guests!



We set up a birthday wishes photo matte for party guests to sign! I just purchased a blank matte from Michaels, added a few of my own decorations and voila!  I'll add a photo of Catherine with her guests, frame and hang in her room as a keepsake!



It was an amazing day filled with loving family and friends! 
Happy Birthday, my sweet girl!

I don't know what Monster High is...(we don't have cable t.v, wait, is it still called cable now that everything is digital?)

But YOU my, dear are super mom. So much for letting someone else decorate or going to the store for everything for some canned theme!

Gosh that looks like so much fun. Kids have their parties so sweet and simple. Just throw in some cake, balloons and some jumping around and they're good. Gotta miss and love those good ol' days huh! I am glad the birthday turned out so well though!

I am truly, deeply grateful that ya’ll stop by and visit me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (I had this scheduled to post at midnight, but for some reason, it didn't!

You’re gonna need it! It’s my 100th post and by the time you are done reading it, you’ll probably feel as old and tired as Rip Van Winkle! You know me and my long winded rambley-ness!

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
