Now that the nuggets are ONE and the party is over, I have an itch... for another project. What to do, what to do?? We've had our house on the market, and we recently chose to stick around {for several reasons: convenience, timing, realtor disappointments, etc}. I'm totally at peace with this decision, but I have the need to work on something... paint a side table, redecorate a bedroom/nursery, paint a room... who knows. Either way, I have a lot of ideas spinning in my head, and I am craving a redo of some sort. I mean, hey, if we're going to stay, why can't I, right??
Yesterday I put some of the paper lanterns from the party in Lilly Scott's room. She loved the surprise when she came home :o) Then she asked for lanterns that light up. Ha.
I need to do something at the top... a bow or something. Any ideas?
I got the lanterns from Luna Bazaar for a great deal! They were very friendly in answering my questions, and the shipping was incredibly fast! I ordered them Friday afternoon, and they were here Wednesday!
The birthday pictures are coming! I will also share the names and business of those who helped me put this fantabulous party together!
If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen some pictures. If not, here's a preview:
Eek! I am so in love with the party decor. I can't let it go. I don't even park in the garage {right now} because the ping pong table is in the middle of the garage with party decor and gifts on it. It was odd Monday morning because I had weather elements on my windshields. What in the world?! I barely found the defrost buttons! {Sad, I know- Jordan spoils me.} As he said, "Welcome to parking outside." Goob.
I'm displaying the party decor in the house as much as I can get away with. Here are the 'year in pictures' banners that hung like garland between each pillar at the pavilion. I have hung them above the windows in Mac and Paisley's 'play room'-
And the flowers, well I love having them all over the house. I wish I would have thought to give more of them away to share their sweet scent and happy nature.
Random pics I wanted to share....
Here's LS at Eli's birthday party last Friday, cute girl.
The party wore out a couple of babes:
*Tonight's dinner: chicken, buffalo sauce and powdered ranch in the crock pot. Sounds good, right? I'll probably shred the chicken and serve it with salad and wraps. We may even spoil ourselves with some crunchy tater tots.
*LS gets out of school in 35 minutes. I've been waking M and P up from their nap early to get to school on time. {By 'on time' I mean 3:00} If you know me at all, you know time management isn't my strong suite. Sadly, I've even taught a class on the subject for 3 years. Obviously, knowledge and execution are two separate things here. I gave myself away this week, though, because we walked to pick up LS... yes, yes, we live that close and I'm still late. The teachers thought we lived about 30 minutes away, but now my cover is blown. Shoot. To think I was trying to be a physically fit and all. ;o)
*Jordan has a fantasy football draft this weekend... Welcome to football season, my friends. Jordan and his 395829 fantasy teams. Buckle up!
*It's 2:10, I should probably eat today.... On that note~ au revoir!
as always,
ashley
