29 weeks- Plus1 3rd Bday!

29 weeks

It has been a while, not because I haven't been thinking of you... I have. I haven't wanted to blog because I am an emotional wreck! ICEBERG, RIGHT AHEAD!

Oh yea... EMO! No sleep and hormones makes for a very miserable pregnant woman.

I do not mind the lack of sleep. I am used to that. It is when the babies are in strange positions and push against every wall in your belly that makes it horrible. Don't get me wrong... I am so happy that I am still pregnant, but there is a tiny part of me that wishes I would go into labor soon.

Last night, I was in the "bear" position for about 40 minutes to get some relief. It worked! I was able to sleep more than 30 minutes consecutively. 

My Plus 1's 3rd Birthday Bash!

We did a pirate theme this year and it was a BLAST! It was difficult getting things ready while I am supposed to be on bed rest, but we managed and I'm still pregnant!

Here are a few pictures:

Originally I used 2 plastic table cloths, one pink and one black. I just cut slits in them and made the hubs hang them up. But with the little kids running around, the pink one fell off. Black still looks good!

The treasure chest was sitting by the front door. A friend of mine made the chest for our wedding a few years ago and we just filled it up with pirate gear. 

Here are the snacks. Shark bait= gold fish, cannon balls= grapes, pirate booty= pirate booty, and gold= round tortilla chips (I messed up the nacho cheese! Who does that?) I thought I saved the food signs to attach it here, but I didn't. :( 

Pirate hook game. First, I decorated the board. I poked holes in the large piece of card board. The hooks have a loop in the back, so I tied string to the loop and attached the string to the back with tape. Rings- I forgot about the rings, so I made some out of aluminum foil. 

Her amazing aunt and uncle made the "plank". I originally wanted to have a blue plastic table cloth under it with "shark fins", but she the hubs set it up the construction paper shark fins kept blowing over. Im sure it would have worked it I would have used a heavier card stock. The blue table cloth turned into the "water" at the end of the plank. 

We filled the sand pit with "treasure"; dollar store rings, mardi gras beads, and gold coins. 

For the cupcakes I just had the kids make their own. A friend of mine made chocolate shells and pirate themed candies as toppers for the cupcakes. I gave each kid a few to choose from. I crushed up graham crackers and they were able to use that as "sand" on top of their cupcake. They were able to put their own sprinkles and frosting on as well. It was a blast! I think each girl had 2 or 3 cupcakes. :) 

Gotta love pinterest!

I plan on posting tomorrow, so keep a look out for that!
