Movie Monday on Foto Friday

Foto Friday was on Tuesday. Posted a video on Wednesday. Now, another movie on Friday. Whatever.




Maybe I`ll get the whole thing back on track next week.

Have a great weekend!

momcafe Mother's Day Event

On the day before Mother's Day, I attended this event, another great one by momcafe. Mimosas, appetizers, and strawberries with chocolate for dessert. A raffle and 50/50 draw with proceeds going to benefit a sick little boy (Evan Penny) and his family. And a few laughs over the joys and challenges of motherhood. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Star Wars: The Toth Wars

Here are some photos from the Birthday Extravaganza on Saturday. (There is a possibility there will be some video in a few days.)

Light sabers and balloons, a dangerous (and fun) combo.

Jedi who shall remain faceless.

Cake pops created by the extraordinary Mrs. Blakeney.

Star Wars Party Take 2: Cake made by Moi.

And after 2 Birthday parties in one day...

I had a blast. Hopefully they did, too!

Foto Friday

Oh, don't worry. I know I'm 5 days behind. Just add it to the long list of things that do not get done on time. We just re-intalled Photoshop Elements, so I can finally look at all my photos again! Here are a few I ran across while browsing through.

My focus lately has been on this Star Wars Birthday coming up. They will be 8 years old.

How have things changed?

A Star Wars cake is a little more complicated than a Blues Clues cake...

Their faces have definitely changed. And Darth has replaced Buzz...

But some things never change. They have asked for a pool just like the one they got back then...

That's it for this trip down memory lane. Looking forward to making some fun new birthday memories to share with you.

What Am I Saying?!

I am starting a new feature here on the Small Wonder blog. Its an idea that my husband and I came up with several years ago. Once you have children, you find yourself saying things you never, ever imagined you would say.

Some of these things are the exact things your parents used to say to you, and you thought they were crazy, but now you understand.

"You are not going outside without a hat, young lady!"

Other things are sentences that absolutely need to be said at the moment, but you could not have predicted the use of that particular combination of facts.

"Please take your foot out of your brother's hat before you hurt his hand."

These strange and wonderful utterances need to be documented, and this is the place to do it. I will post a few of my favourites each week, and you can add your own in the comments.

"There is no crying while playing video games."

"Nope. We don't have any more batteries for that noisy toy. Sorry."

"I am going to throw all of this stuff away, because you don't take care of it and you never clean it up."

This is just the start. Add your own, and I will eavesdrop on families in the grocery store and try to come up with some better ones next week.

Movie Monday

I recently attended another great event put on by momcafé.

I really enjoy these events. Interesting speakers, good food, networking, and babysitting. Who could ask for more?!
