Another 30 year old in the world

(May 8, 2010)

Another dear friend of ours turned 30 and her husband put on a celebration that will be hard to best....

There were moon bounces, stilts, shaved ice, burgers and dogs and plenty of games and activities for the kids and kids at heart.

And my contribution....

a little dose of Nature's Freaks...

They were temporary tattoos of course, but bringing props made it feel all the more real!  ; )

The birthday mom-to-be.....she was absolutely glowing....

The Nature's Freaks crew....

Good food, good friends, temporary tattoos, colored hair spray and sticker piercings....

t'was a GREAT birthday bash!

31 Flavors of Fun

(November 22, 2009)

For my husband's birthday this year, I decided to use the number 31 theme (since he was turning 31) and all I could think of was Baskin N Robbins 31 flavors!

So....I decided on creating the wackiest ice-cream bar ever.

In addition to the standard ice cream toppings, we included a few unconventional toppings for a total of 31 toppings (including cherry tomatoes, cheetohs, chile peppers, gummy worms, pitted prunes, pickles, nerds, etc. to name a few).

To encourage guests to actually use some of the unconventional toppings we had prizes for the top 2 participants that made the grossest creation and the coolest creation....

There were some excellent showings....but it ultimately came down to two...

Cheefishchexpicklecream won for coolest icecream...

I had corn for dinner won for grossest!

It was a fabulous night.
