Happy Birthday Tim!

Today is the anniversary of the day Mom S gave the world a great big present in the form of the hubs. Yay!

So I made this to celebrate

I love you, partner in crime.

She's Crafty: Necklace for a Princess

This past weekend we had the honor of attending a birthday party for a very cool three-year-old. I decided that it was time to break out the crafty-side of myself and make something. I whipped this up for the little princess (I love pink and purple, by the way).

Eh, a little blurry.

A wee bit bigger and you can see the different shades of the bicones.

The "pearls" have a pink coloring too them which I thought gave it a princess-touch. Now, the true test is if the crimpings that I used stand the wear of a three-year-old. The last piece I made for a youngen didn't last too long because my niece pulled on it. One of these days I'm going to get my etsy going (I've had the storename on reserve for over a year now).

Tim and I were very excited to attend the birthday party. We got to watch all the little kids running around with all their energy (avoid the jump-jump because those things are my new nightmare). Tim and I would love to have a perfect little version of the best of our qualities combined (look out world, superkid awaits), but now just isn't the time. House first, non-fur babies later. But, it was still nice to be around all the smiles, giggles and fun. Thank you for having us to party, BP :)

Sophie is 2

Yesterday, Tim and I went to visit the birthday girl Sophie. Sophie's parents are good friends from undergrad (and actually, some of high school too). Here are a selected few photos I took of the day:

Sophie playing with the Kinex we bought Jacob

She is very precise.

Jacob and his Kinex.

He's going to be an awesome engineer or something similar one day.

Tim got a call on the pink phone.

PRESENT! Notice the crazy green and purple ones...

Tim helped build the pony.

Sophie is waiting...

Jeez Tim! Get it together already!!

Finished!

IT'S A TEA CUP PIGGIE!!!

AHHH PIGS!

Gift #2...

Still working on it..

Almost...it's a Paris Hilton style teacup piggie tote bag!

Win. She is carrying the pig. Never mind the babydoll.

Cakey cake indeed.

Had to throw this one in...

Overall, a fun day. My goal was to win the birthday (minus competing with the parents). I thought combing her interests of girly+princess+pigs = win with the teacup piggie and princess tote. Seriously, the pig is named princess...time will tell if tea cup pig wins out over babydoll and buzz.


Oh, and I only have slight baby fever for those wondering. It comes and goes. But, we still have the priority of house then kids.
