Caleb turned 4 on October 29, you can see his current obsession is Super Mario Brothers, as that was the party theme(and as you get to the Halloween part of this post, you see the obsession there as well). I ordered an AWESOME cake from a local baker, I avoid cake baking-actually just the decorating part-at all costs, my family sincerely appreciates me for this. I did make the cupcakes, along with homemade buttercream icing(YUM!!!) and the cake pops….oh the cake pops….I have made these before & they are SO.VERY.TIME.CONSUMING, but so very good! While looking for party ideas on Pinterest I saw a tip to buy donut holes & use those, which saves tons of time. I thought “why not?!” Now I know why not, donut holes are NOT nice & pretty & perfectly round, they are lumpy & mishapen which in turn leads to lumpy & mishapen cake pops.  So while they were not pretty in the least, they were very, very yummy!! So if you ever feel like you want to save some time & get donut holes, DON’T!!!  I need to try one of those cake pop machine thingys, has anyone used one of those?

I got a little crafty with this party, making the birthday banner & the blocks that held the aforementioned ugly cake pops. I was quite proud of those if I do say so myself I can’t take all the credit, I found tons of stuff on Pinterest, if you haven’t found Pinterest, you must do so now!!! It’s AWESOME!

The kids could care less about food, cake, cupcakes & cake pops because we had a ginourmous blow-up slide in the backyard. The thing was HUGE!! It was so much fun, all the kids had a blast & us adults got to enjoy it as well.

And now for Halloween…Remember the Super Mario Brothers obsession, well both of my kids have it.  Caleb was Mario of course & not to be outdone by her little brother, Aubrey was Princess Peach.  We trick-or-treated for about an hour & they each came home with their weight in candy, and of course wanted to eat it ALL when we walked in the door.

And that is the last time you will see my kids until Christmas, and hopefully they will cooperate then!

Thanks guys for letting me share in your special day!
