Calvin turned 2 in October. He's getting so big, he's practically driving (which he requests to do every time we get in the car, and I crush his dreams anew each time I make him sit in his car seat.)! I wanted to throw a cute party, but not anything that would kill me (because THOSE kinds of parties are FUN). I settled on a Despicable Me theme. Cal loves the minions. I decided I would do three cute things and not serve lunch, but just cake. I started in August (stress free people). I tapped into Pinterest (because why be creative when other people can be for you?) and found my three projects: A minion tablecloth, minion pop bottle balloon weights, and a minion 9x13 cake (there is a super simple tutorial on youtube for this folks!). It all turned out so cute and because I made the pop bottles and the tablecloth far in advance the party was stress free and very survivable :)
I will confess that I'm not much of a Halloween fan. I kinda hate the part of the holiday that's creepy, full of graveyards and corpses, and scary. I HATE to be scared. Like, "had to sleep on my parents floor when I was 17 and saw a scary movie" HATE to be scared. Halloween to me is about carving cute pumpkins and relishing in the cute costumes the kids wear.
So a happy belated G-rated Halloween everyone!!! Elmo...that's my kind of monster.
Yes, that pumpkin is my finest artistic achievement to date. And Calvin is sooo cute.
