Joshua's 11th Birthday Party (Wreck it Ralph)

 The cake!


 The Sugar Rush Bar-lots of candy!!!
 Felix's golden magic hammer.
 Our front door.

 "Laffy Taffy" streamers.
 Pac man cake,dots, & fruit:)
 Todd's artwork to make sure MY cup isn't mixed up with anyone else's cup.
 Making racers out of candy/sweets like Vanellope's racer.


 Before game 7 of the Western Conference Finals-hence the happiness. No post game pics:(

Diet Coke & Mentos experiment.


Joshua's Wreck it Ralph party was on Sunday. It's really helpful if you've seen the movie to get my references. You can go watch it now if you want:)

Anyway, the cake is supposed to be like the cake Deanna made at the party the Nicelanders had to  celebrate the game's anniversary. The same party Ralph wasn't invited to but Pac Man was (hence the Pac-Man cake too).

We had a Diet Coke & Mentos experiment. The kids also made race cars out of candy & cookies. There was a game to find the cy-bug in some Easter eggs. We decorated with Laffy Taffy streamers. The kids also played a game to find the best (fastest) wrecker. They had to knock down a house of blocks,pop 3 balloons, and snap 5 pop-its while being timed. Joshua's friend, Logan, won with 22 seconds. You really need to have seen the movie to understand why all these things make perfect sense:)

Everyone had fun. On  to the next party! 

June will be pretty slow. I don't really expect any new pictures until July. Hannah will be having her 8th grade graduation ceremony at the homeschool convention and she may be participating in the summer drama camp at the AFB.

Pictures of pictures!






 This one above is my favorite.


We had a photography company that came out to our church to do a picture directory. You're supposed to get a directory & a free 8x10 picture. Of course they take more pictures & try to sell you more. I bought the proofs but couldn't afford any others for the rest of you-sorry about that. But you can enjoy them here!

Godspell-Closing night


 With some friends.



Here's the last pictures from Godspell. I'm so sad it's over & can't wait to get the dvd. The songs were great & the kids humor in telling the parables was so much fun. I hope it comes across in the dvd because they were hilarious while delivering the message.

 A few pics of a parking lot encore. These kids will perform anywhere!





Here's pictures of the 2nd night of Godspell. It was amazing again! It's my new favorite. This show was on Joshua's birthday so he's wearing his new green St. Patrick's Day Blackhawks jersey. Hannah pitched in with us to buy it for him.
