This past weekend was absolutely perfect!! My youngest son Weston is turning 3 this week, so we had a little Ninja bash!! Now I usually don’t post about this kinda stuff on my blog, but seriously, this mama put some time into this party, so I must share lol!!
It is so easy to just delegate tasks for birthday parties to others so you don’t have to worry about it, BUT I have a reason behind what I did! I know people thought I was crazy when I was making my cupcakes, but here are my thoughts!
I have been a working mom since both my boys were born. Swing shifts, 12 hour shifts, working holidays and weekends, and if I am off for a Birthday, I am usually working the day before and the day after. So this is MY chance to be a MOM!!! I wanted to make the fun stuff..decorations, food, etc.
So in my attempt to only go to the store once to get everything I needed.. it turned into 4.. maybe even 5 trips lol.. I have lists but still forget! Go figure!
The decorations were fun!! I did the Ninja Turtle balloons and made them into turtles!!
Along with the Ninja balloons.. I made the treat bags into Ninjas too!! so simple to do!! and the kids LOVED them!! 🙂 So worth it!!
And then the cupcakes lol… Ok, yes it took me 6 hours to make.. Thank goodness the eyes were candy because if I would have done what I did with my trial run of making these with all icing, it would have taken me so much longer!!! Its not easy keeping the colors from mixing together!! But it was done and they tasted great… so they say! 🙂
