The Graduate!

Last week our little man graduated from his last year in Pre-School! This year he went to pre-school just two doors down from our house....SO CONVENIENT! My friend Michelle runs a preschool in her basement called Buttons and Bows Pre-school. She did such a great job and Faze learned so much!Faze with Miss Michelle
All of his classmates
I love the little shirts they made, each of those hands belonged to one of his classmates. So cute!
Singing their little songs. This one was his favorite song "Chooty Chaw"

Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden sun....please shine down on me!


So proud of our little guy!

CALLING ALL SUPERHERO'S

For Faisal's 5th birthday I decided to do a superhero themed party. I was SO excited for this party. I had found so many fun things and made some cute stuff to go along with the theme.
In my head I had a vision of how I wanted everything to look, I just had to find how to make it all happen. Starting with the invites! I kept going back and forth on either doing a superhero or pirate themed party. When I found these invites it made the decision for me...it was EXACTLY what I had in my mind. I found these on Etsy, it was a kit you could buy and they were all matchy matchy and personalized. So I got invites, thank you cards, address labels, water bottle labels, happy birthday banner, cupcake toppers, goodie bag labels and sucker super hero's (see below). I LOVED the characters that were used... it was exactly what I wanted, they were darling. I sent the gal the info that I wanted written on the invite and picture that I wanted used and BAM! It was that easy!
I got some small manilla envelopes and found the 'top secret' logo online which I printed onto my envelopes. Notice the cute address label :-)
The thank you cards! Gotta get those sent out....
Now for the fun part, the decorating! Always one of my favorite parts. I seriously would love going into a party planning business, so so fun!
We served the superhero's lunch. This was the lunch table. I LOVE how the banner turned out that I made.
The 'Super Sweet' table. I tried to get foods that were in the color scheme of the party red, blue, yellow and green.



'Kryptonite' rock suckers! These were a huge hit!
Super pop rocks! I was pretty excited that they were packaged in my color scheme.

I made green and blue 'mother goose popcorn'. So yummy!

These turned out so stinkin cute! Superhero suckers anyone?!

Strawberries, grapes....
cheeto's...
green and red jello jiggelers and PB&J sandwiches.

These were the take home 'goodie bags' filled with blue and green popcorn.
Cupcake toppers, these turned out so cute!


Seriously the cutest water bottle labels ever!
The cape crusaders!
Practicing their 'super' flying.
Eating lunch. This was supposed to happen out on the lawn, but it was just too chilly.
I blew this little guy up and had it laminated. It was on the front door as guest arrived and then doubled as a game for "pin the star on the superhero"
Playing the game.

Opening presents!


I found some darling blue and red capes online for CHEAP! Cheaper than I could make them, so I bought one for each child and then cut out white fabric stars that I stitched onto the back of the cape. Then I printed our superhero out on iron on sheets of paper and ironed the image onto the star. After the guests arrived I sent them on a treasure hunt and at the end of the hunt they found their capes and superhero masks that they then decorated. They looked so cute!

Faisal loves his cape. He wears it all the time!
At the end of the party he was ZAPPED! It was an awesome day for my sweet little man. Happy birthday buddy boy! Your momma sure loves you.

Kindergarten check up

Today Faze had his Kindergarten check up. Yes, that's right.... my baby is going to Kindergarten next year. When did my baby get so grown up???
Faze is terrified of going to the doctor. He always thinks that he is going to be getting a shot, well this time he was right. :-(
We did the urine sample at home and I told him that we had to take the sample to the doctors. When we got there he said "Momma, I will wait in the car and you take the peepee to the doctor". He was paranoid of everything, the eye exam, the blood pressure cuff, and don't even get me started about the finger prick. He is such a cutie pie though and was pretty funny.
This was after his finger prick, obviously unhappy!
Look at his face, so funny.
They had him write his name on a little card.
In this picture he asked me how everyone knew his name. I told him that I work with all of these people and that I told them. He told me that I wasn't supposed to do that, it was supposed to be a secret.
Coloring his paper and adding stickers to it.



Dr. Foster did a great job!
After the exam they took his picture to add to his card.
All done! Finally a smile.
His reward for being..... mostly brave. :-)
