Star Wars Birthday Party

After posting about Lucy's birthday I felt mom-guilt for never having written about Luke's.


Luke's 4th birthday party was pretty sweet! It was a Nerd Mom dream come true, and I didn't even have to convince him to pick this theme. Star Wars was his choice!!! So proud!

I think I put a lot more effort into this party than I otherwise would have because I'm so obsessed with Star Wars. In the weeks leading up to the party we watched and re-watched the Star Wars trilogy. (I won't specify which trilogy. If you have to ask you are dead to me anyway.) Those movies are so good. They hold up so well after all these years and the message is amazing! I found myself getting choked up at the end of Return of the Jedi, and not just because I'm a nerd. Because I am a human being--with feelings!!! Anyway, that was some really unnecessary back story to explain why I have an emotional attachment to this party.

The Cupcakes:

I also got some sweet printables from Pinterest for the napkins and the cups:

            Having your kids grow up can be a bittersweet thing. On the one hand I am bummed that every year that goes by means my snuggle buddy gets a little less snuggly. But I have to say, it's awesome that my little spawn is becoming interested in the same stuff I am. So fun!

I LOVE my little guy so dang much!

Catching up...Lucy's First

I am horrible, but I think I am going to get better. See, normally in my free time I am feverishly cleaning  the mess that my two spazzy children leave behind. Lately I have been trying to get some more exercise so I have been jogging at night. In a nutshell that means that from the time I finish my jog to the time I go to bed I don't move. So I should have plenty of time to blog.

Lucy turned one year old a little bit ago! What the heck? That went by CRAZY fast! But she just gets more fun and more adorable every day so I am kinda okay with it.

Here are some pictures from her first birthday!





How did this little girl grow up so fast?
