Getting Ready for Cole's Special Day

So even though Cole's 5th Birthday is not until later in April, his class is celebrating his special day today! My mom was very nice and ordered the cupcakes from a special cupcake place and picked up bags for the kids. Now my mom is amazing and she loves to shop at the best places way better then I could ever afford. Yes I'm not ashamed to admit that I would have picked up the bags and goodies at the dollar store ... LOL and probably made cupcakes. But she was very nice and bought all these mind you the cost was a little over $100 for these few items. Yes and you who have been following know that this total was added to the Walking with the Dinosaur show that my parents and Cole are going to for a whopping $220 for all of them. So no swing set but we do have some pretty amazing stuff instead. Still a little sad and trying to figure out how the heck I'm going to pull off a swing set, but 'm sure I'll figure it out ... LOL
Check out the gift bags, plus the early special gift brought home for Cole (and Caden).
Boy Bags, Mom bought special stickers to decorate all bags and ribbon to tie them.
All bags have a bunch of Foam puffy stickers in animals, pack of gold fish and boys got mini cars.
I went to the dollar store and picked up color books
Power Rangers for the boys.
Girl Gift Bags!
Girl Bags had little books instead of cars.
And Strawberry Shortcake Color Books I picked up.
All the gift bags, 7 boys & 6 girls
Now pray that I counted right, since I'm a dork and didn't find my list.
Teacher gets a special cupcake.
Cole's Special Cupcake with a sugar Dinosaur
Plus special stickers to decorate the box.
Check out these cupcakes.
All I can say is I don't remember ever getting these for my birthday!
What is the black blob?
Why it is our new fish Spiderman
(you after the black Spiderman)
Caden was getting up close and personal.

  1. The bags are adorable and the cupcakes are making me hungry for a midnight snack! As for the swingset, maybe you should start a swingset fund. I'd donate ;) Or do it like that Johnny Cash song "One Part at a Time" (I believe that's what it's called), and smuggle it from local playgrounds. :D Jokes, jokes. You'll get there, I have faith. :)

  5. Holy moly icing bat woman...that looks like a major in your face and all over it iced cup cake!!! Lots of fun connected with eating that, and then a major sugar buzz. Is there coloring in them? I cannot tell it is dark...and this mother of a almost 22 year old remembers what coloring does to the lips and tongue, major fun there baby with all those goodies!

    Look in the green sheet (Dallas bargain finds) and see if you cannot take someones swing set off of them (many parents find themselves with one due to kids going to college and they want to downsize houses) Just an idea???

  14. That was really sweet of your mom to do that. And with the other stuff you got, those were just perfect! Your boys are so adorable just like their momma! ;-)

    I think E is on to something. Try Craigslist for a used swing. Also, since there is a military base in your backyard, military families are always selling stuff when they get moved to another state or overseas. I will snope around and see if I can find out what their base paper name is and if it is posted online. (They usually are.) The base papers have classified ads.)

  15. What a lucky guy!

    If you know anybody who has children that are older, they might be willing to part with their swingset. I let somebody have ours if they came over and dug it out. I was so relieved!

    Oh and yeah, funny to see all the things your mother does for your children, that you never got!!! I'm just at the beginning of seeing that!
    But, I guess that's what Grandmothers are for.......
