Have you ever noticed that weekends go by too quickly? I think we should rally the troops for a 3 day weekend! What do you think? Are you with me?
This past weekend we celebrated my 36th year of birth. Hubby threw me a party at our house.
Together with his partner in crime, my MIL, Rosemary, they decked the house out with balloons, sushi cupcakes, a backyard movie projector, a cotton candy machine, a snow cone machine, and did I say a ton of food?
I had a great time visiting with all my peeps, many of whom I haven't seen in a while. I think I can say the cotton candy machine was a hit! Everyone had so much fun twirling sugar around in a bowl and spinning sugar into various forms. The alcoholic snow cones (for the non-pregnant people) were also a hit.
Hubby and MIL's homemade sushi cupcakes were really delicious as well. I have been craving sushi like mad but due to pregnancy I am not allowed to have any so dear sweet hubby took one of my favorite things (sushi) and mixed it with another (cupcakes). I think the pair did a good job decorating although I think at moments they weren't sure they were going to turn out. That is always the case with decorating cake. You never think its going to be good and then the end result is amazing because no one else ever thinks they can make the same thing, thus making your project all the more amazing!
I love having parties in my backyard. Everyone was amazed by the updates we did in our yard which amazed me because i felt like we hadn't done anything great except blow leaves around. But all their encouragement made me want to finish the other projects we had planned for the backyard! Well, maybe after I decorate a nursury, fix the bonus room and install a new front door and a new bonus room door, I can work on the backyard. There is always the kitchen remodel too. So many ideas too little time. I guess a house is never finished!
After visiting and eating and eating and eating some more hubby set up the movie projector in the backyard and a small group of us watched Goonies on the white wall of our garage. It was fun. I wish the projector was a little better as the picture was a little grainy but it was good fun and there was something magical about watching a movie underneath the stars on a warm summer evening.
Overall, I had a great birthday week. I am very lucky to have such great friends and family memebers who made my week memorable! So thank you to all!!
