Minecraft Party Wrap

I still have one more week of post to share next week but I wanted to show the party all wrapped up. We had it at the Local YMCA so I wasn't able to take pictures of the kids in the pool or going down the slide.

As my comical luck would go I few things of course went not according to plan. I was so busy trying to get all these items together I didn't call people I just sent a FB invite which didn't reach some people. I didn't give a call or a text like I should have, but lesson learned.

We got to the YMCA and found out that a kid puked in the pool! OH Yes so the swim part of our party had to be moved to the middle. We did the gifts first but of course no one could eat, have you ever had to tell kids no eating? We had to wait almost an hour then let the kids in the pool. OF course they could swim but the slide was closed for yet another hour! YUP but we got an extra 1/2 hour in the pool and they opened the slide. So then our party got pushed out over an hour. Oh yes it was fun, not man kids showed but we made the most of it.

Next week I'll show the last of this party

Have a GREAT weekend!!

Insert Rocky Music

Oh yes I feel like I ran up the top of the hill oh yes champ!!! Ok maybe not ran most like a brisk walk with a limp or two. Oh yeah and my hip has been going out so maybe a hop and skip. I've made it threw almost two weeks of temptation here at my parents house. I swear the longer I'm on a diet the more food that is brought in to tempt me ... lol. Ok I know I have will power and I can do (I already have a mom don't need any of those pep talks people). It's almost getting a little comical, when you work at home you can control your environment. BUT when you are in someone else's home working it's like the flood gates are open. So I put my tunnel vision on to walk from the den to the bathroom and back. And while preparing dad's meals I just pretend ... hehe. Here is all the items that are on the black fuzz side of my tunnel vision I pretend not to see!

First we had the Peanut M&M's

(not a peanut fan so I was ok)

The snack station

(only hard one is the chocolate gummy bears)

Then came the Pumpkin with Cream Cheese

(Store bought so I was ok to say no)

Then came the croissants

(that was hard, haven't had carbs in 5 WEEKS, but I sad no)

Then came the black licorice

(Not a fan only like Red so still ok)

Then came rolls WITH Honey Butter!

(Oh man that was hard one, but still no)

THEN came NOT one but FOUR

Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory!

AND this is what I pretend to not look at when I prepare my dad's meals.

I feel like I have entered a reality show "Temptation Island"

YES I know you may be getting sick of me talking about this but it makes me laugh and that is what get's me threw diet, so deal with it ... hehe just playing!! I hope to bring back some other things soon!

Things Under the Bed ......

Things have been a little somber around here, but dad is doing well in a lot of pain and on the road to recovery. So trying to lighten things up a bit around here I thought I'd share what I found under Caden's bed last night. Having boys sure is fun and what you find under their beds is always fun (ok people they are 8 and 5 so we're talking about food items ... lol). So hang on here we go.

The loot!
