Pictures soon

I have had so many fires going over the last 2 weeks.  With the whole Cosmo debacle and the heat thrown in, things have just been crazy.  Here's a teaser of what kinds of pictures will be coming--you know for those 2 people that still read my blog.


1. I've almost finished my dresser.  The goal is to have it finished by Tuesday.  All I have left to do is the polyacrylic top coat.  The heat has made this project challenging.

2. We found a used swingset.  Hope to have it up and ready to play on by C's bday.

3 The prep for C's Avengers party is in full force.  So far I've made a GIANT Loki pinata (I mean ginormous.  He's bigger than the kids probably.  Potentially too solid as well.  I hope they can bust it. I have printed 90% of my goods.  I have masks for a photo area all prepped, but need to find some stretchy string to use to attach to the kids.  I have masks of Hulk, Iron Man, Cap America, and a Thor helmet I downloaded from Disney.  I also created my own masks (not nearly as 3 dimensional, but oh well, I'm no artist) of the Black Panther, Ant man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Wasp.  We baked cupcakes and froze them--ready to be decorated Friday night.  I made 12 of the 36 picks to go in the cupcakes b/c we didn't have enough or any from the lesser known characters in the 24 pack I bought--it just had the big 4 characters.  I have all the stuff for the goodie bags.  My MIL made awesome, personalized Avenger tote bags for the kids to hold all their goodies.  It's going to be fun and totally different than last year.  That has been a real challenge--to come up with new ideas.  Whew!   Now I just need to photograph it all.  I'm stuck home all day tomorrow b/c Scott is having some hail damage repaired on his car, so he's taking mine to work.  Hopefully I'll be able to get a lot more accomplished.
