Updates anyone?

So i know it's been forever since i have updated the blog so here is a bit of an update.

Back in feb. we had a chinese new year- it was fun and low key but an excuse for a party and decorating is always fun!

Ain't we cute?

Then of course there was the Blue and Gold banquet for Cub Scouts. It was alot of work and VERY stressful for me because Joe wasn't going to be there. Luckily he was able to help me set up and we had a couple other people come that helped with that too- thank goodness! We had fried chicken, veggie trays and rolls (and ended up with tons of extra food because 20 less people than we were told to plan for came). We did a pirate them because well- we figured it would be fun and the kids would like it and I think we were right. I made eye patches for everyone and used them as napkin rings on their plates, we had colorful cups and napkins and then put beads and colorful rocks and chocolate coins on the tables as well as blue and gold tinsil. The boys made their own piratey cakes for desert which was fun- some of them were very creative!

We were also able to borrow skeleton pirate stuff from a friend in the theatre department which the boys thought was super cool!

But I must admit it was weird to be driving home with this next to me....

The reason that Joe wasn't able to be there was because he was performing in MacBeth which he enjoyed (although it did make his schedule quite busy!). It was a really good performance and was sold out completely even the third week that they added because of popularity. The hall was always filled with people hoping to get a standby ticket. And for those of you that are wondering- he does have a scar from the wound he got sword fighting but it isn't too bad ( i think he is secretly proud of it- i mean if you're going to get a scar this is a pretty good story to have).

Don't have any pics for this yet....

For their cast party I made this super cool cake and managed to make it bleed with watered down food coloring. Anyways it was cool and it was also a snickers cake which is Joe's favorite- needless to say i spoiled him.

( i can't figure out why this picture is so big...)

That's all for now more updates to come...
