Birthday Bash!

Hi everyone!
Whew! I made it through the weekend; Gage's 3rd birthday and 2 Dove parties!
I am still SO tired and have been battling headaches, a crabby 3 year old and a crabby hubby in the past 24 hours :(

Here are a few pics from my lil man's birthday...
His cake, the Wonder Pets made by my mom ♥
Didn't she do a great job?

Close up of the cake!

.........................
Some pics of decor...
I  just printed a pic of the Wonder Pets from online and added the text; mounted that sheet to a piece of colorful scrapbook paper... wanted a punch of color on our lovely paneled walls ;)

Did the same thing with some #3's; printed them and hung them with crepe paper...

I "recycled" this wonder pets flyboat from the wrapper cover off of another piece of WP decor; and hung it with some curling ribbon!
I thought it came out cute:)

Here's my EVERYDAY DISPLAY from Creative Memories that I decorate each year for the boys birthdays with some of my fave pics of them from the previous year...

I did this little saying on Gage's easel;
the WP have an easel outside of the schoolhouse at the beginning of the show that tells what/who they are "saving" on that episode!

A cute WP flyboat honeycomb decoration plus the cake plates/napkins...

Gage picked out his own balloons... he loves Mickey too ♥

Some more colorful decor...
I also like to put out pics of the boys from previous years to show how they've grown over the years...
all these cute scrapbook papers came from the $1 section at Target; from a Birthday Scrapbook paper set!

............................

Treat bags for the kiddo's had Gummy Sour Life Savers, Ming-Ming masks (the duck from WP) and Wonder Pets stickers.

Here's Gage wearing the Ming-Ming mask...
LOL!!

Here's Gage with my brother Andrew, who is Gage's fave uncle and Godfather...
What a face he is making, lol ♥

...........................
Time for presents...
He got lots of new summer clothes (yippee!), some pj's too and...

Here he is on his leather chair from Nana!!
She also got him some new clothes, pj's and Wonder Pets play capes!

A big boy bookshelf from my 3 brothers...

Cool! A new football from our neighbor!!
They also got him a car garage and a kite; they are the BEST neighbors ♥

He REALLY wanted a flash light so we got him one... along with many other toys:)

A new puzzle... actually got 3 new puzzles!

Look at my boys!
Big brother got him a tool box with handy Manny tools...
Gage was so excited; he loves to put on a hard hat and "fix" things around the house for me!
Like in this photo here...
Lol, he crawled under the kitchen table to fix it!

.........................
Here he is with my friends daughter who is a MONTH younger than him, he's HUGE compared to her!

He had quite a few more packages than this on the table too; lucky guy:)

Time to have cake...
Make a wish...
Look at those cheeks!
Here he is being SHY while everyone sang Happy Birthday to him...

Awww!!

Happy belated Birthday to Gage:-) Looks like he had a really fun day and look at all those presents, they should keep him busy for a while now!! lol Love all the decorations and no doubt he was just thrilled with everything.

Do you even have time to breathe during the day???? lol You are one super busy gal, that's for sure.

I know I've been a bad blogger lately, haven't visited anyone in quite a few days. Now that I'm back from my trip, though, I'm hoping I can get caught up. Please know that I did read your previous posts I had missed:-) xoxo
