Sorry for the silence over here. I have literally been knocked onto my backside by a terrible case of strep throat. UGH. It has been ugly around here. Luckily, Bruce's work was super flexible and he was able to be here most of Mon, Tues and Weds to take care of the kids. It got kind of scary a couple of times, I don't remember ever being that sick. It reminded me of my c-section recovery - that tells you something!! The worst point was when the Dr. said she thought I had the swine flu - that was really scary. Thankfully that test came back negative!! And, it is a new day and I feel a bit better. Bruce is going to work the full day and I hope to get a few things cleaned up around here. I'll try to get some pictures posted at least by the end of the weekend. Hope you are all healthy, happy and enjoying fall, wherever you are!
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, Lisa!) and hung them around the dining room
