the next item on my list is to plan finn's birthday. i have a date set, but that's it! shortly after his last birthday, he asked that his 6th birthday be a ROBOT party. well he's still crazy about 'em so that's what we're going to try to give him.
though i've known this for months, i'm not feeling very motivated to plan this party. i was tempted to ask him if i could take him to legoland instead (it's been a year since he and i went) but i knew he wouldn't go for it. he wants his new kindergarten friends to come over and celebrate with him. i just remind myself that as long as its FUN and he has a robot cake, he will be happy. if i keep it simple, i will be happy too.
as he normally does, christopher will be making this cake. i sent him a few images for inspiration and i'm excited to see what he comes up with. *grin* the one here is kind of cute. it's highly unlikely he'll use fondant though. *wink*
of course there will be cupcakes too, and i thought it would be fun to have robot toppers for them. i found some on etsy i'm considering buying, but to cut costs, i may end up making them. *sigh* i'm not a crafty gal at all but i really do appreciate craftiness and creativity and am glad there are those who have a passion for it and who share their talents.
miss jessica is one who freely shares her amazing talents. remember the petite french bakery party she threw for her daughter's first birthday that i shared a few posts back? she recently pulled together a baby shower that was equally gorgeous. you must visit this link to see beautiful images of it all. it's truly inspiring! unlike kindergarteners, i am sure the mommy-to-be and her guests appreciated EVERY lovely detail. if only i had a smidgen of jess' talent...
i better skedaddle - laundry to do, errands to run, a 6 yr old's party to plan and a sick scoutie to nurse. whatever finn had last week, he has shared with scout and possibly dad. *whew* friends/family - if you have any ideas for a 'robot party'', please send my way.
a happy sunday to you all. xo
