Mothers Day (USA)

Leave a reply

It is Mother’s Day in the ol’ US of A, but since we already celebrated this holiday here in the UK I did not make it a big deal with my boys. Besides is not every day mothers’ day? 😉

To celebrate Maddox Charles Aherin‘s last day as a four year old we went to the Levity III Luminarium at Lindfield’s Art Festival after church. It was truly a spectacular activity to experience as a family. The boys got to take a hula hoop class from some pretty hippy girls with their ‘High Hoops’ troope and taste some Gluten Free cupcakes. Plus we bought the book in which Ronan’s poem was published. Family Days are certainly Fun Days in life.

Maddox’s Superhero party at the Bowling Alley

Leave a reply

Maddox’s Super Hero party at the bowling alley was quite fun. We had 13 boys in total and our party hostess took care of pretty much everything. The other parents made a lot of comments on all the details we put together for party. I think the consensus was that I should become a party planner. The photo booth went well though we did just one group shot since it was hard enough to wrangle all the boys together for a photo. The cake pops did not pass the decoration phase and our ‘plan b’ cake got left at home by mistake. So we are going to enjoy the cake on Maddox’s actual birthday. I have had very little sleep with party prep…pretty much exhausted.

Happiest Memory & Favourite Word

Leave a reply

I have been pretty busy getting things ready for Maddox’s birthday party.  There is not a good selection for what he wants online and I definitely can not find anything here in England. So below you’ll see what I have been up too so far.  I took comic book sheets and made a banner with Maddox’s name on it and even some cute cupcake toppers with the Pop art theme. What do you think?  

A portion of the banner I made for Maddox’s birthday party.
It has a total of 12 triangular flags from old Flash comics.

Not sure what a Madeira cake is, but it tastes like a pound cake and an angelfood cake had a baby. I hope it works okay for the cake pops.

I am about to select which of these make it to be Maddox’s birthday presents, and which ones will be less fortunate and get to be mutilated and cut up so that I can make cute photo frames for the gift bags. Just taking the Flash ones from the 90’s out of the plastic sleeves is making me want to turn around and look for Sheldon’s disapproval. I’m getting a little anxious about the cake pops I need to make on Friday. First time making them and I really hope they a) turn out alright b) taste amazing c) look pretty Anyone make them before have any tips, advice, or flavour ideas that they like the best? I am making ‘superhero’ ones for 10 boys ages 4 – 9.
