Happy Smiley Face Birthday






THE ONE MAN CLEAN UP CREW


Tonight we celebrated Alex's 9th Birthday with a quick party after Ness picked the kids up from "The California Exchange". I started off the day making my list of what I needed to get at the store for the party later tonight until I got a call from Vannessa saying they would be here at 2pm so I had to scratch the shopping idea and make due with what I had. I did a quick scavenger hunt through the house for any and all party and cake supplies. It's amazing what you can find in the house when your in a pinch. So out of what I found I did a primary color scheme with a Smiley Face cake and decorated the table with candy. When in doubt give them candy, they'll be on such a sugar high they won't notice nothing matches.

Luckily they were running late so I was able to get everything done. When Ness saw the cake she said "Oh my gosh how did you know he loves Smiley Face's" and I was like of course I know he loves smiley faces. (I honestly had no clue I totally lucked out.lol) When it was all said and done Alex was happy and that's all that mattered. Happy Birthday Alex, we love you!
The video is a little fuzzy because the kids were playing with the camera and put their dirty fingers all over the lens, crazy kids.

Cool Kayla! You did an awesome job throwing it together using only what you had in your cupboards!

And I love the SPAM packet mixed in with the candy and treats.

That's funny. I thought you were hightech and had the fog thing going on with the lens. I forgot how clever it was to use those curly candles for smiley mans hair. And Elias is still the one man cleaning crew. Sometimes preferring something off the floor to what I just made for him.
