After a long weekend, this is what we are doing! Sometimes you just need a little rest.
Love is...a sigh of contentment. Amen! We seem to over extend our weekend time. So relaxing and sighing is a true sign of contentment.
Saturday May 18th we celebrated the first birthday of our friends Jen and Ivan's son Joaquin. He loves Monster, Ins. and Monsters University so it was his party theme. See the blue hats on your left? They cost a small fortunate at the toy stores. So the birthday boys daddy went to the Dollar Store. He paid $20 for 20 Army helmets. Then he went to the hardware store and paid $8 for two cans of spray paint. He sprayed the heck out of those helmets until they looked like the pricey upscale hats! He added a sticker to make them look perfect and all the little ones there loved their hats.
Dad Ivan (in blue) and little Joaquin in his Monsters Inc. lime green outfit, enjoy a moment.
The blue helmet hats and goodie bags. Pretty in blue.
Lots of packages decked out in blue too.
These are the Monsters Inc. candy pops that mom Jen made. They tasted really yummy too. It was a fun birthday for a sweet little boy. Sometime I will tell you the cute love story of Jen and Ivan. He loved her the moment he met her and they have been married one year ago earlier this month.
Please visit Sally and all the Blues too.
