My middle kiddo, Hudson, turned 5 beginning of August. He was wanting a Camouflage Camping theme this year. He is ALL boy that is for sure. He loves anything camo, army, cowboy, camping, knights, pirates, etc. This theme was fun and not too hard to pull off. We had a lot of fun... until that is my youngest puked on the kitchen floor during cutting the cake. THAT did put a damper on things. I told her it was a major party foul. But because of that I missed getting very many pics of the kiddos. Really meant to get a group shot, but I was busy bathing a pukey 2 yr old and then holding her wrapped in her blanket for the rest of the evening. Party Details Red Lantern, Camo plate, & $1 flashlights for the goody bags- Walmart Green napkins- Ikea Large white Frame- Target Cake Stand- Pottery Barn Box Cake with homemade Chocolate Icing Rice Crispy Smores Recipe found here Burlap, Trees, Scrapbooking paper, Letter "H" and tiny wood pine tree- Hobby Lobby Camping shirt- Perry Jayne - me :) I made the Paper tags for the goody bags and things in Publisher. For all the ideas I didn't have time to do, you can visit my Pinterest Board The little tent on the right there is just cardboard covered in camo fabric and then a cardboard "5" glued on. The grass is just a bit of felt that I cut up. The flag on top is felt that I hot glued on too. I missed getting pics of the all the food, but the menu for the evening was: Sloppy Joes (I also added a couple cans of baked beans to mine) Hot Dogs Cornflake Potato Casserole Chips Pickles Veggies with ranch dip Snagged these pine cones from the school's pick up line (It's lined with tons of pine trees). Then just hot glued them to some twine. In the goody bags, I put Trail Mix and Flashlights. Here's a pic of Huds helping me fill the goody bags. He was so sweet to help. Hudson wanted his tent on the back porch for his friends to play in. I made sure to put some bug spray out there for them too. Hudson got some camo paint from one of his friends and had to try it out immediately. :) Hudson with his cake. Orginally I was going to plan some games, but the kiddos seemed to have fun just playing in the backyard. Last, I'll leave you with a few pics of our family celebration, we had on his actual birthday last week.

Can you believe my little girl is 4???? Oh my goodness, where does the time go? When I asked her what kind of birthday party she wanted, it is no surprise Megan said she wanted a candy party. Healthy eating can be such a bore sometimes. Besides, a candy party sounded totally adorable so I was more than happy to oblige. Here is the lollipop invitation I made . . . I totally copied was inspired by an invitation created by Cherry Blossom Way on etsy. I steal some of my best ideas from etsy. Totally cute and totally simple to do. My next task was to plan the cake. Megan said she wanted a topsy turvy, whimsical cake (and yes, she actually used the word "whimsical." We spend a lot of time watching cake shows together.) Everything on the cake was edible except for the lollipop sticks. It was a classic white cake with vanilla buttercream filling, coated in chocolate ganache and covered with marshmallow fondant. Megan loved it! She also really liked the dessert/candy buffet. It seemed to be a big hit with the under 10 crowd!!!! Info on how to make the tissue paper pom poms is here. My mom made the adorable table runner for the table. These little cupcake treats are made from cake balls and melted chocolate. I used chocolate cake and cream cheese icing and they were delicious. For instructions on how to make them, check out Bakerella here. Some sugar cookies with royal icing . . . yum! I decorated the outside too. Welcome to Candyland . . . Info on how to make the lollipop decorations is here. I made a little sign for the front door. I decorated the backyard with some more lollipops and these cute little candies in the trees. To make them, I just covered sturdy paper plates with tissue paper, then wrapped them in gift wrap cellophane and tied ribbons on the ends. I punched a hole in them and looped some ribbon to hang them. The night before the party, Megan and Brendan spent the night at my mom's house so John and I could put things together for the party. Here they are arriving the day of the party . . . I love how even Brendan is smiling at the idea of a party full of candy. The looks on the faces of the girls was priceless! And we can just help ourselves to whatever we want? YEP! Megan's lollipop dress came from here. We played Pin the Cherry on the Ice Cream Cone, a game idea I stole from my friend Heather's party, only she used a cupcake. Thanks for the great idea Heather! The face painting station was a big hit with the kiddos. And Aunt Laura too! We played "hot potato" only I called it "pass the gumball" to go with the theme. I played a candy mix CD that John created from songs we found on i-tunes and when the music stopped, whoever was holding the gumball was "out" and had to go eat a piece of candy. I think the kids really enjoyed themselves . . . Then we opened gifts and had cake and ice cream. We really appreciated the thought that went into choosing gifts so perfect for her. She really is blessed by wonderful family and friends. And since I determined that the 14403958233 milligrams of sugar the kids had so far wasn't quite enough, we clobbered the heck out of this pinata (found at Hobby Lobby) for even more candy. Fun!!!!! And here is Nana . . . she taught my baby how to hold his own bottle. He didn't get any candy but seemed to have a great time anyway. We sent all the kids packing with a treat bag loaded with . . . more candy, a CD of the candy music that played at the party and of course . . . A TOOTHBRUSH!!!!
