I finally finished the birthday blog. Why does it take so long?

WEE-HAA!

This Spring began the boys 1st season of WEE BALL!

Introducing my Little YOUNG GUNS:

(Yes, he bared his belly in the middle of team pics. REALLY?!! They are too funny!)

Over it...ok...maybe not!

A week ago I was SO OVER IT. After two years of wondering what each month will bring- a positive (yeah, right!) or a negative I was just done. Then there are health concerns that have derailed my fertility with no answers near in sight. I am left with just a fat body.

Then I see all the Facebook posts of little sonograms and "It's a girl! " It makes my heart ache.

Ok, maybe I am not over it.

It's my party and I'll PARTY if I want to!

The boys requested for their 3rd birthday a ....LEGO party!

Our town doesn't have LegoLand. It doesn't even have a LEGO store.

So with a little imagination, a lot of spray paint, and circle cookie cutters aLEGO party was born!

LET'S PARTY LIKE WE'RE 3 YEARS OLD!

THE DECORATIONS

THE FOOD

The lego cases held BRICKWICHES--peanut butter and pimento cheese. There was also fruit, crackers and circle cheese to build your own lego cracker, pink waffer cookies "Brick cookies" and cheetoes requested by the birthday boys.

THE CAKE

Our dear friend, Lindi works her magic again! I told her to make a dump truck filled withLegos. Not only does it look great, it tasted sooooo yummy!

Also on the dessert table were Lego Men and gummy bricks.

THE KIDS TABLE

Each spot had some LegoVille color sheets and these cool crayons from Lil Doodlers. Each kids got to take some home in their Tool Box.

THE ENTERTAINMENT

I had big plans for this, but life blew up at the beginning of 2011 so it became much more simple. Simple is good sometimes.

Who doesn't love a JUMP JUMP?!

They also had tubs of sand and had to find the hidden LEGOS.

THE PINATA

We made a LEGO pinata and filled it with bricks. With lots of whacks and a little

BOOM BOOM POW

Legos went EVERYWHERE!

Each kid had a tool belt and they were able to fill their tool belt with all the loot they found!

THE FAVORS

Inside each of these tool boxes on the ladder were lots of Lego treats!

The tools included:

* a LEGO set

* BRICKS and LEGOMEN crayons

* LEGO stickers

* and candy bricks

You're a STINKY BACON!

The boys just turned 3! I have always thought that Annalee does a precious job documenting things. So I thought I would try it, too. Maybe that is the difference between boys and girls because I had to 1. bribe my interviewee with m&ms and 2. they were jumping, running, and climbing all over the place while I tried to get the info. 3. it took me 3 weeks to finish getting all the answers out of the boys!
