Small update. More later!

The house is coming slowly. It has been bad weather and I have had to go in to the office a few times which means Eric has to come in and watch Caleb. And then my classes have been coming on even slower. I am sooo wrapped up in Calebs party right now. I am so proud of myself I have planned a great birthday party, and it is sooo crafty. I got all my ideas from Family Fun magazine of course. We planned a bike birthday party, I made my own invitations with a picture of Caleb on a bike on the inside. We are going to decorate our bikes that everybody brought with noise makers and name plates and handlebar bling with bells and streamers. Then they are going to take those bikes and go on an obstacle course that we are going to make with cones to go thorugh, and a chalk line to follow, and a bubble machine to ride past and an arch to go under, and then there is going to be a dismount section on the playground. It is going to be soo much fun. Then the presents, and then cake and ice cream with gatorade or juice. The cake is going to be two cakes a little apart from each other with a real train really moving on a track between the two. And then with the cake we are going to have a cat skeleton which is a whole bunch of vegetables all put together to look like a cat skeleton, and the face is dip in a bowl with more vegetables for the facial features. and we are also going to have apple bites which is an apple cut into quarters and then each quarter is taken and a sort of mouth cut out of it. and then slivered almonds are put in to make teeth. It looked soooo cute in the magazine I had to try it! So that is what we are eating, and then when they go home they are getting little goody bags that look like trophies made out of paper lunch bags with gold and silver wrapping paper cut and glued to look like a trophy and some metallic pipe cleaners put on that look like trophy handles! And I am going to put in normal goody stuff and then one little mummy that I made out of popsicle sticks glued to looke like a stick figure and then wrapped in fabric that I got and cut into strips. and little moving eyes I glued on. I am going to make a little mouth too because they look a little lost without a mouth. I think they are so cute! I am just soo excited that I found all these great ideas. And I hope they all work out! I will post pictures later so you can see.
