Birthday Blowout - Noooo Not THAT Kind...

This years Abby Fiesta was nothing short of a well.. Fiesta.. She had 3 cakes, cupcakes at her school, a party with her friends and lots and lots and lots of love. Happy 5th Birthday Abby!

Eskimo girl insist on eating Fruity Pebbles with her new hat on with her sparkly new bowl and cup!

One little, two little, 3 little friends..

Cake # 3

Cake #2 - A purse cake of course.

A camping set! Just what I've ALWAYS wanted.. Mommy, what's camping?

8 BRAND new PONIES.. umm Cause her other ones are from garage sales *snicker* ALL of them.. TEE HEE.. Sorry kid.. They are..

Look Matthew, it's a carriage. Stick your hand in there - I promise I won't snap it shut..

Cake #1 Matthew was kindly pulling (or trying morely) to pull my pant down while I did this one.. It was DEEE-LIGHTFUL..

It's like a backpack.. Only a baby.. Only a pack back that HOLDS a baby..

No.. You COLOR them - SEEEEEEEE it says so RIGHT here..

Unwrapping the precious one..

Umm the boy really DOES have some clothes on.. I think.. Maybe.. As he claps for Shrinky Dinks..

Who could deny that look of adoration?? For a unicorn?

Epic Fail

I know I know but play along.. Zoom in on it until you can read that top sign there.. You'll be glad you did.. :)

Feed Me Seymore!

Carnival!

What would it be with out a Fall Carnival? Well, Abby's school had one. It is, however, completely inappropriate for smaller (read: younger) kids. So. so. So. So.... We had our own at home.. And They LOVED it..

We decorated.. Light switches..

More Decorations! Why? I have NO Idea..

We decided that none of us actually had the "face painting" skill so.. We got out the washable markers - and went to town.. And WOW.. Did some of us GO to town..


We needed a craft, so.. What says "Carnival" like - Making Bead Necklaces -.. Yeah.. I don't know either.. I just work at the show.. I don't produce it..

Well, like any TRUE carnival, the first thing you eat - FUNNEL CAKE!

POPCORN!! Yum! Oh.. wait we have this almost everyday.. And yet - still needed it..

MORE popcorn!

You know what happens to popcorn when you hand a bucket of it to a 3 year old?? That's right.. it ends up ALL over the floor you JUST vacuumed.. And then STRAIGHT into their mouths.. Double Yum!

A little beverage for your pleasure..

What carnival would be complete without cotton candy dare I ask??

Figured a hot dog would be good to put in there too..

Ahhh it looks like a good carnival..

A Little Dress Up Fun..

Abby made the BEST pie in the world.. It was VERY Yum..

Matthew, riding Pinkie Pie - down the slide - wearing his cowboy hat.

Really, CAN I describe this one?

The Tweedle Fairies..

Tweedle Fairies with Attitude..

Batman Matthew

And More Tweedle Fairies..

New Pictures!

I just realized how heinously behind I've been at adding new pictures to this. I'm REALLY really behind. So here's a big load of them.

Abby at the turtle release party. She was very sad to see Zippy go to find his family, but knows he will be happier out there.. In a pond.. With kids not dropping him continuously..

This is our "new" kitten Spider. He is a very very tolerant kitten. He likes to sleep in Mattie's blanket.. And will let Abby carry him.. and love him and do all sorts of bad things to him..

And both kids say CHEESE!

Outside water fun..

Fun with a soccer ball..

Spider and Merlin.. Bonding..
