Amy posted the pictures she took of the party here. Neither of us got any pictures of the yummy strawberries though...yummmm! Nice pictures Amy!!

Twilight/New Moon Party

Last night we had a really fun party for the girls who help me a lot at Digital Scrapbook Memories. Amy and I planned the party together. The party was inspired by this one by Emily. Emily's party was inspired by this one by this one by the Hostess with the Mostess.

Amy made this incredible invitation. Isn't she awesome???

I didn't take pictures of our actual party table which is too bad. If Amy posts her pictures I'll link you to those pictures. I really like how the table turned out. We had a deep red table cloth with a black sheer runner, candles, a cupcake tray, chocolate dipped strawberries, water and popcorn in addition to what you see in the pictures below. There were also little signs around the house. All of the printed Twilight decorations came from the HWTM. It was so EASY to quickly print her designs. I loved it!! I really enjoyed Twilight but I'm not a giant fan like others. I haven't even read the second book yet (although I did get it today for $5). I just really wanted to do the party after seeing the cute drink labels. Haha!!! The one thing I did different with the printouts is I mounted the little signs on a black paper folded in half so I wouldn't have to buy (or find) picture frames. I really like how it turned out. Here are a couple pictures of the signs, drinks and licorice.

Thanks to all of you that help me with Digital Scrapbook Memories. Alisha, I wish you were closer so you could have come. Also, does anyone else worry after a party that not everyone got an invite that should have? We didn't hear from a couple girls who we sent invites to but we definately send the invites to everyone who has helped with DSM.

Zorbing

Hahahahaha! This looks like so much fun. Or not. Hahaha. Have you heard of Zorbing yet?

By the way I took the image from this site.

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. My kids dressed up as a jellyfish and a Nintendo DS. They both loved their costumes which made me really happy. Luke had so many people at school at our church party running up to him to "play" his costume. He couldn't go more than a few feet without people saying how much they loved his costume. Keith said they trick or treated at someone's house we don't know and the lady said she saw our kids at school and came home and told her husband about the jellyfish and Nintendo DS. She had no idea that the two kids were from the same family. Ha ha. It made me feel good. I have a few friends who said they heard about our costumes from other people who didn't know us, but just were talking about their favorite costumes. Fun.

Luke got a bit overwhelmed with people "playing his costume". He really got pushed around a lot by nice but hyper kids, but he still had fun and liked most of the attention he got.

I got a cute picture of my niece and nephew too. Aren’t they cute?
