Calling all Rescue Bots...Roll Out MW is 4

 A few weekends ago we celebrated a little boy turning 4.
It was Rescue Bot themed as far as the invitations and plates went.
I am really not into parties or party planning, not my gift. The last few years I have just let the kids pick an activity and a restaurant or favorite food to have and share with the immediate family. Perhaps in a few years as they get older and steady friends, we can embark on parties again, but for now this works fantastic especially since in 2 weeks we celebrate a little girl.

MW isn't so good at the decision making process. The plight of being 4 and a boy. Lo she always knows what she wants and how she wants it done. Finally locked in on a movie, but weren't sure any kid friendly movies would be out on party day. Luckily my MIL brought to my attention Paddington Bear. It was just a fantastic movie--got a bit dicey and "scary" at the end, but all is well. They don't get to go to the movies often, {who am I kidding Chad and I don't get to the movies often either HA!} Matter of fact this is their 3rd theater movie.

Before the movie MW wanted Chick-a-lay for his special lunch, but totally spaced they aren't open on Sundays! So he settled for Freebirds and popcorn at the movie instead.

After the movie we went home for cake and presents. I had big dreams for the cake, even pinned lots of cute somewhat easy cake ideas, but alas I just gave up. I mean it's a cake. We are going to just eat a piece an chuck the rest. SO I bought some cheap transformer toys and topped a lovely bumblebee yellow.

MW was thrilled. Thank goodness he is easily impressed...Leighton on the other hand...not so much.

And then of course presents! So exciting. 

It was a nice low key family party enjoyed by all. Up next His 4 year old video. He is such a mess and may or may not bunny trail like his mother. HA!

1. I am one of those that doesn't follow her own advice. I am a dietitian, eating right and healthy should be what I do. However, with this new job I work 4 hours straight over lunch (because the goal is for me to observe their lunches.) So needless to say I have skipped my lunch 3x now.
Do you know that doing that makes you OVER eat?! Most people don't sadly. They think if they are going to "splurge" tonight then skip lunch, or worse breakfast! After "experimenting" this theory on myself I can say with 100% complete confidence that by doing so you will gorge yourself the rest of the night...I have become quite good at it.
Here's hoping I can figure out some sort of lunch break for myself...

2. We have a bird dog. His name is Toby. And yes, he is a 6# toy poodle. Go figure. He has captured 2 baby birds and the 3rd he found, well, let's just go with survival of the fittest wasn't this little bird strong point.


3. I get to see my sister, bil, and niece SOON!

This pic is a bit old, but it is all I have of the THREE of them together.

4. Eclipse here I come! Tues night at 1201 AM I will be surrounded by teeny boppers enjoying this 3rd installment. What can I say I guess I am an official "Twihard." Thanks to my little sis who hooks me on all this great stuff!


5. This past weekend was fun. I got to go to a HS friend's lingerie shower. It is a nice change up from baby showers! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera. :( But this was probably the best shower I had been to! I don't know when I have every laughed so hard in all my life. Thanks girls for all the laughs! (and stories ;) ).

6. For those of you interested I finally updated my shutterfly account with summer pics and ALL of Lo's One Year pics taken by Ginger! Click HERE to check it all out.

7. I love the 4th of July, it ranks as one of my top holidays to celebrate. I do not however enjoy the week preceding the "big" day. Why and who has the money to buy boat loads of fireworks to shoot off every. single. night. through the 5th?! Seriously. Some of us enjoy sleep!
