Fancy Lulu

-
We attended a "Fancy Nancy" themed birthday party yesterday. Lucy and I took full advantage of an opportunity to dress up and loved it!! Unfortunately, Griffin is down with a cold so Bruce kept him at home and Lucy and I went. We had a great time but surprisingly Lucy was the only girl who dressed up!!! The invitation even said to. Sigh..that is the Gast kids, perpetually over dressed....I am crazy or maybe we are just having more fun than everyone else. Maybe both! ;)

Fancy Lulu looks A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. She could be Fancy Nancy's little sister. I totally would have dressed up Casey this way. Bummer nobody else did it.
Same thing happened to us in June. Casey was invited to a "Fairy Party" I dressed her in a tutu, wings, cute hair, ballet shoes, and even eye makeup. She and the birthday girl were the only ones dressed up. I didn't care. Casey loved it and that is all that mattered.
You are not crazy you are enjoying the moment and letting kids be kids. They should dress up everyday!!!

Dr. Seuss Party, Part 1 Decor and Food

I have to say,  Bruce and I totally knocked ourselves out to throw Lucy the best Dr. Seuss 4th birthday party that we could and I am pretty proud of the results!  It was a wonderful day for her and hopefully for all her friends that came. Our kids have LOVED the story The Lorax for a while now and were so excited to go see the movie.  Bruce had a brilliant idea to make his own truffula trees .  With some PVC pipe and spray paint he put these together.  I made the tops out of tissue paper (tutorials widely available).  Of course, once I got started on them, I just had to make some extras to hang around the dining room.  I used the extra paper to make a super colorful one for the front porch.  These were so easy and cheap to make, I highly recommend them as party decorations for all different types of themes!   I printed out some of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes and gussied them up with some fancy paper cutters (Thanks, ...

I can't believe we've arrived here...I can't believe I am old enough to have a 20 year old son!  He is a full grown adult and absolutely living life his own way, on his own terms and doing it quite well.  Griffin is living in a small town in Germany with his girlfriend and 2 cats.  He is currently in a nursing program that also allows him to work in their local hospital (his school/work life is completely in German!)  He's been able to spend some time traveling around Germany, exploring his community, and forming lovely connections with his girlfriend's family.  While we miss him so very much, we are so proud of him and the way he is making it happen.  And of course, hoping for a visit very soon!  Happy Birthday, Griffin.  We love you!

Griffin is 19.

My heart is all jumbled up on this big day.  Last July, Griffin moved to Muhlhausen; Germany to attend university and live with his love, Alicia.     He has regaled us with stories of exploring Berlin, using the train system on his one hour/each way commute every day to school,  embracing the traditions and holidays of his new community,  learning to live independently and all the responsibilities it entails and perhaps the biggest challenge of all...becoming fluent in German.   I am so proud of him.  This is what we raised him for, to be independent, to have big dreams, to work hard to make your goals a reality.  I am stunned by his bravery, joyful at his quest for adventure and impressed by his commitment.  And today, like most everyday, I carry a deep ache to hug my son, to go to bed and know he is tucked in safely just a few feet away, to make him a birthday fruit pizza and snap pictures when he blows out the candles.  I wi...
