Engagement, Party, & Last day of school!


I am SO excited! I got engaged! I never thought I would see this day honestly. I have always wanted to get married, but then changed my mind and just thought I would probably die alone as the crazy cat lady or something. Lol. I am really just at a loss for words and I think I am still in shock. I can not wait to start planning all the details and look forward to the day I can marry my love! 

Joe let me pick out my own ring and couldn't be more happier :)


Now on to the party! My son turned 7 (yes seven, I can't believe it either!) years old on May 26th, which Memorial Day happened to fall on this year. So we had his party on June 1st, because everybody is usually busy Memorial Day weekend. Anyway we went with a carnival theme and to my surprise the party came together so well and everything turned out great! Minus all the decorations I forgot to bring..






We also rented a waterslide bounce house. The kids had a blast! We played "carnival games" like bobbing for apples, ring toss, throw the ball in the cup, and a sack race, not sure if they have those at the carnival but it was still fun and funny! 


For food we had again "carnival food" hotdogs, nachos, cotton candy, popcorn, candy (of course), and other goodies. 

I also made these cupcakes that looked like little popcorn containers, I just covered the paper part of the cupcake with popcorn tape, since I couldn't find the red and white stripped paper/tape, then I covered the top of the cupcakes with frosting, put marshmallows on top and sprayed it with gold, yes gold, since the store didn't have yellow ( just my luck) food coloring spray. They turned out really cute! (Not sure if you can see them in the pic)

I got a lot of compliments on the party, I am so glad it turned out good everybody had fun, even if I forgot to decorate. Lol.

Well the kids last day of school was June 4th, it's bittersweet, I feel my kids are growing soo fast these days! It seems it was just the beginning of the school year not to long ago. Well now I have a 2nd grader and with a little struggle this year I have a 5th grader! 


With their friends :)
