| Yes, FINALLY a REAL POST! haha! I know, its been a while....{I feel like I am repeating myself}, but now things are moving along in my household. And I am feeling good. My first big task of the year was to plan my boys 2'nd birthday party. I still had to keep it simple, because of the fact of me being 5 months pregnant at the time. So we invited just the birthday boys Grandparents and one little cousin. {They are only 11 days apart}. My boy is completely obsessed with ANYTHING with wheels....and Trains have been his latest pastime. He can sit for ever building and running his little Ikea train set. And so a train party was quite appropriate for his special day.... He had a great day, and it ended up being a success. I didnt spend too much time on setting up a background, so please enjoy pictures of my apartment:-) Here are pix....enjoy!  |
| My custom Made Invite....i luv me some Photoshop! Best buck I ever spent! |

| The spread: chocolate cake, black cherry cream soda, Blimpie Sandwiches, chips & "curly apples". |
 |
| This little fancy machine was given to my by my mother in law. SUPER cool! It peels, cuts and cores your apples for you. It was a hit! |
 |
| I used newpapers & cream burlap for the tablecloth. |
 |
| Our party favors: conductor hats, scarfs, candy and kazoos. {I tried to find train whistles, with no luck...so kazoos it was!} |
