So Saturday we celebrated Michael's 2nd birthday. He wont actually be two until next week but I wanted it Halloween themed and this is how it worked out. First, Melissa and I had been talking about the party for a while now and so one night last month we got together until 2am and made the invitations for the party. They turned out awesome!!!
And yes, I am aware that the name does not say Michael, but Ive never really been all that secretive anyway.
We had lots of Halloween inspired food like Mummy pizzas and swamp sludge. One of the activities that I planned for the kids was to decorate their own cupcakes with Halloween candy. Let me just say OMG FUN!!! But also: MESSY!
Michael actually started out wearing a costume but he poured his drink all over himself and refused to put on another shirt. He went as a birthday suit so he wore suit pants and a button shirt with beads around his neck and streamers stuck to him. All the costumes were great and I um don't happen to have one of mine....yes, that's *cough* what it is. I *cough* must not have taken any. Either way, I went as Super Mom so my costume included a cape and a big "S" on my shirt. I also wore a big belt with an "M" on the buckle and mommy-type stuff hanging from it. I had a duster, spatula and a baby. I threw the costume together about an hour before everyone got there, but it is definitely a good one that you can do so much with. My cousin was a sumo wrestler:
And she even let Rayden try on the suit:

Melissa came as Wilma and Violet was Pebbles! They were so cute! Ive got another picture of them with my brother and it would have been a really great one if he had been dressed as Fred.
You can see bam bam in this next picture, along with all the other kiddies:
And when it was all said and done, I sat on the couch with my feet up and treated myself to a little computer time. I didn't even clean up until the next day...

We went to a Halloween birthday party on Sunday. It was a lot of fun. THey went all out with cute food and decorations.
It looks like your party was a hit too. Fun!
Wow, you ARE Supermom, letting them decorate their own messy, messy cupcakes! It looks like they had a wonderful time. I try so hard to be the wild and free mom, but I have to clench my teeth and grin when there's something that invites a messiness tornado because I know it will somehow end up Everywhere.
That looks like so much fun! You are so creative. I don't think I could have come up with something like that!
Screw cleaning up. A clean house is overrated!!
Looks liks so much fun. I like the idea of having the kids decorate thier own cupcakes, nice!
Your costume sounds great too! You go Supermom!!!!
