Happy Friday! The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of celebrations and there’s still one last hurrah this weekend. After the American Girl bonanza, I’m determined to not go overboard with K’s party this weekend. M and I will be entertaining about 10 kids and I’m shooting for an ultra casual gathering. Of course, I’m already making elaborate DIY plans for a magnetic “Pin the button on the Dress” game, so I might already be shifting over to the dark side of overdoing things…Oh, and I got a pinata that doesn’t require whacking (as illustrated above, you just pull on those ribbons), and I hope the kids don’t find it too anti-climactic.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t have been able to get everything done without my mom aka Ba-chan<\/em>. There are some things happening behind the scenes that could become incredibly exciting so I’ve been unusually busy, and she’s been steadfast and a dream babysitter\/gourmet chef\/all-around supporter. And I don’t think I mentioned that I got into an accident earlier this week (all cars and people involved are fine, and thankfully, it wasn’t my fault. A car backed right into me in the middle of the street!) – it’s been a crazy<\/em> week.<\/p>\n

******************************************************************************<\/p>\n

Overheard an exchange between K and M the other day:<\/p>\n

K: C’mon Butter Creams, let’s have game time*.<\/p>\n

M: Alright Butter Bunions, let’s go.<\/p>\n

*”Game time” is special bonding time that K and M regularly have that involves practicing karate kicks or playing video games. I have no idea what these nicknames mean.<\/p>\n

******************************************************************************<\/p>\n

Wishing you a thoroughly enjoyable weekend! I’ll be back on Monday with something a little different…<\/p>\n

Thanks so much, <\/em>Ba-chan
\nOn Saturday you will leave<\/em>
\nHow will we function?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
