Ethan turned 6!

Okay, Ethan was having a Spiderman party and I COULD NOT bring myself to pay the $20 for the Pinata at WalMart, it just didn't make sense to me to pay that much, pay to fill it with candy only to last 3 minutes till it rips to shreds. So I made my own! I used 2 soda fridge pack boxes, taped them together and wrapped with brown paper. I had the fridge opening of the boxes facing down, so it was like a 2-barrel pinata. The first side busted after everyone hit it twice, they cleaned up the candy, and then we had a whole other round of hitting before the 2 nd side gave way. I think it worked out great, and I didn't spend a dime on the pinata (just the candy).
Spiderman! You're laying down on the job! Apparently Buttercream is not his preferred habitat for optimal performance. Sadly, this was Spidey's only chance to prove himself as he succombed to the sharp, pointy teeth of our puggle later that evening. R.I.P Spidey.
We could barely get Ethan to put his pizza down long enough to blow out the candle!

Ready, Set, Go!

So, I'm really on a roll getting the blogging thing going. Might as well jump right in, hu? I really enjoy looking at everyone's blogs and getting updated on what is going on in your lives, so I wanted to create one of those for my little family to provide the same little window into our lives and what is going on with us. I guess that is pretty much why everyone starts a blog though right?

Though this talking to myself thing is pretty appealing.

Anyhoo...I will post some pics soon. So check back.
