Mom of Boys

I realize that I am over a week late in posting this…  But the past couple of weeks have been busy and I have a few more blogs to post AFTER this as well….

We had Caleb’s 4th birthday Party the Saturday after his party.  Everyone who I invited came, and we had a lot of fun!  I didn’t do everything that I had planned on doing, but it was such a good party anyways!  After everyone showed up, we had the kids put on the sorting hat and they were sorted into 4 houses.  Then we decorated party hats and the kids got thier wands.  We had Caleb show the rest of the kids the spell to use when you see a dementor.  That’s when we dropped the dementor pinata from the deck.  Unfortunatly, the pinata was too tough for the kids… and the stick broke!  So, we dumped the prizes out and we had cake.  The cake turned out to be pretty good…  I really though I had gotten in way over my head until it was done.  Everyone loved it and everyone was really impressed, which mad me feel better about it.  Anyways… I was happy witht he party. 

One part I forgot. We opened gifts after most of the party had left. We still had family and a few of our close friends around. It wasn’t so crazy and he got TONS of stuff!!! I got him a radio flyer scooter, which he loves! We go out to ride it all the time and it’s easy for us to take along with us to the park or to grandma’s house.

I love to do artsy crafty things and I’m always looking up projects to do with the kids or projects to do by myself.  When I was younger, my step mom taught us how to make all sorts of things, including a our own piñata, which is why when the challenge came up to make Caleb’s Dementor piñata, I had no problem.  Well, Marcus decided to get in on the action and put on the last layers of paper mache for me.  When we were done he was axious to get started on something else.  He started drawing out plans to make a castle piñata!  LOL!  So cute!  I started working on other things and suggested that he try to make a sorting hat out of paper mache.  He didn’t waste any time getting into the kitchen and asking how I made the paste!  Ha ha!  I’m glad I can share my passion for arts and crafts with Marcus.  He told me, “It’s fun… almost like being a kid again!” 

Anyways…  I have been thinkign about making the cake this weekend and freezing.  Although, I have no clue how I’m going to freeze the cake and have it taste just as good?  I thought at first that I would use fondant, but I really don’t like the taste so maybe I will try to work just with the frosting and do all of the details and such by hand?  Maybe I’m in over my head witht he cake…  Crystal, we may be up till 2:00 in the am again on Friday night.  LOL!
