Amelie's Party!!!

I KNOOOOOOOOW I've been totally slacking at posting,but life is happening all around me!I am holding very true to my new years goal to hang out with my dear friends more. Tonight is Dollar Bowling rock-a-billy style!!! Last night my friends Stephanie and Conchata stopped by and I just had to spoil them with black bean burritos and choc. chip cookies. wooters!!

Ok on to the subject at hand, last Friday my dear little Amelie Sky turned two!!! The theme of the party was "Who's Two?" So there were owls galore,birdhouses,and other cute things I thought one might encounter while on a walk in a magical wood. Here's a picture of the overall layout.

I made a huge felt tree with whee little felt owls sitting on it's branches to adorn the door.

Here's the table!I got the babushka plates as a Christmas present from Kevin! Aren't they so sweet?! I thought they might be little sweeties one might encounter while for a stroll in the woods.The "table cloth" is vintage fabric my friend Quincy's mom gave me a while back.

Side table where I eventually put the drink bucket and cups.

Who's Two invitations!

The project I decided on for Zoe and Amelie was to paint little birdhouses.

They had fun!I have since added the little birdhouses to our living and kitchen decor! Everyone that comes over knows that Zoe and Amelie painted the bird houses lol!

For her birthday cupcakes I made Amelie Owl Cakes....mmmmm yummy!!

This party def. was not as planned out as my other events are,I didn't even get to finish the little owl bunting I had all laid out.I really was a bit frazzled and tired after all the Christmas goings on, among other things.But all in all I think Zoe and Amelie had a blast.

Happy Birthday Amelie Sky! Whooooo loves you?! We do!!!!

all time favorite song all time favorite band...

dont go to sleep! get up get up GET DOWN!!!

So,as you all know we have to kiddos.Zoe is 4 and Amelie will be 2 Friday! Like most whee ones,they like to stay up as late as possible and milk mom and dad for as much fun as possible right before bed.."one more story please?!" "read it again!" "i need some juice" " i have to potty" " is that a monster?!?!" "are you sure, cause I think it's a monster" "will you lay with me" ...and on and on...Last night they did the old "it takes 2 hours to clean up our tiny room....really" routine.So that lasted forever I finally got them bathed,and was about to put them to bed but...OOPS!! I left my i pod playing. Some super fast aggressive punk song was blaring (perfect for bed right?!?!) yeah....lol So Zoe and Amelie decided to dance around the living room a bit.At first I insisted they stop and go to bed,but then Kevin came in and well....an all out dance party ensued!!

We danced for the longest,had a wheel barrow race,and did some couch jumping.(well Zoe and Amelie couch jumped,Kevin watched and I took pictures for your amusement)

This party lasted MUCH longer than or pre Christmas dance shind-dig with my BFF Conchata..
click here for that very fun dance party action!
After a while dancing and games turned into couch and table jumping...by this time we (we REALLY being Kevin and I) were exhausted so we convinced the girls to go to bed!

Oh the Dance Party InSaNiTy!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you are wondering just what we were cutting a rug to...
Black Kids...you can't listen to them and NOT dance seriously!!!

check out their web site and listen for yourself here!

Today was spent cleaning out the office/studio space I mean REALLY cleaning! Boxes and bags of junk have been removed,and a little paint has been applied to a wall....it's a brand new spiffy space! I can't wait to create in!!Maybe I will take a few pictures of it!

We are patiently waiting for snow in our little town,the wind chill today was TWO AHH so cold! I don't really want to get out of the house for much!

Well I hope everyone enjoyed our dance party bed time shinanigans!!!Have a happy night!!

and yes that is a hot pink christmas tree next to me :) It's the only sign of Christmas left in our home! (it was my display tree at the neely house) I've been using it as a night light teehee.


Zoe heads back to school tomorrow Im excited and so is she!!She will get to see all her pals and have some good playschool fun! Speaking of school,I changed my major this morning,a rather bold move on my part,I switched from Education,to English.I have a very strong desire to teach college English one day,but until I get my masters degree I will teach middle or high school English.In high school I took an extra semester of Advanced Placement English just so I could read more books....ahem....yeah...so this seems like a good fit for me.I'm really trying to enjoy my last few days before the semester starts back and I go into school overdrive! But to tell you the truth it's so very cold here I haven't been doing to many wonderful Earth moving activities! Amelie's second birthday is Friday!!I'm still making her little owl invitations. We were gonna have a hige bash for her,but I think we are just going to have close family over instead.Well there ya go...lots of un related pictures and a small window of what 's going on in little a.korn land

pin up sunday....

these are just plain fun...:)(dressing up and baking)

Baking up some zombie cakes!!!

EAT THEM BEFORE THEY EAT YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!

its been all fun and games lately...

First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! whheeeee!!!
Well we have been mucho busy around here these days,trying to re-coup from Christmas,family visits,and not knowing what day it is Im so wrapped up in stuff!But its starting to wind down and I want to take time to relax a bit before Zoe goes back to school and Amelie has her second (where.did.the.time go?!?!?) woodland themed birthday party <3 Im excited about a new year but dont want to get my hopes too high,right now whlle im not in school(until the 14th) im living freely and trying to have some fun. While Kevisn dad and step mom were in town we took a small trip to the bowling alley.Ihad high hopes of roller skating but alas there was no skating on the day?!?? So we opted to play in the arcade instead...

Nothing says fun like playing games in hopes of getting silly arcade prizes once its all over!!

Amelie plays to WIN!!!!

Awe!!!!LUUUUUUUUV!!!!

Kevin and I found a photobooth and I MADE him take a picture with me!! We now have three photobooth pics in our collection (although this one wast a strip but rather a grid,but it was still nice)

So it has taken its place on our living room picture wire with our other favorite polaroids and photobooths shots! It is bitterly cold in our little town and I want more than anything to stay inside but alas I must get out to go to the grocery store,craft store,and maybe kevin and I shall take a trip to see Jeff my tattoo artist about new designs(oh just you guys wait!!) I hope you all are staying warm and having lots of fun too!!!
