I can't believe Tyler is 7! Time goes by sooo fast!! For his birthday, he wanted a Lego Star Wars party. Wasn't the easiest for me to plan, but the kids seemed to have fun regardless of my planning. The highlight of the party (at least for the boys) was this Silly String fight. It took them a few minutes to have it and FOREVER for me to clean it up!The cake was suppose to look like legos. I started it at 10pm the night before the party, and finished at midnight. Rachel totally offered to bring me some of her tools for cake decorating, but I decided I could just throw it together myself. I only had a chocolate cake mix in my cupboard so that's what I used- with white frosting. If you could see this picture up close, you would see all the crumbs in my frosting, and how lumpy it was. What a mess! Next time I will have to plan ahead! However, I'm grateful that Tyler thought it was "so cool."

Love the cake!
I was just forcing my girls to pick up silly string from a few days ago off the lawn, it never goes away!
But it is their absolute favorite thing. The price we pay.
That cake is hilarious.
Fun party! I bet you can't wait for the swim party next year though.
Marlane, you are to hard on yourself, the cake looks great! I am excited for next weekend. It will be so fun
so cute Marlane! Cam would have loved the Lego cake!!
I agree, you are to hard on yourself! Stop it! It's totally cute and he loved it and that's all that matters. You should have let me bring my stuff. It would have at least made it easier. Next time!
Marlane, HI!!! I'm so glad you left a comment on my blog! Wee-hooooo for reconnecting with old friends!
This Lego cake is amazing & I would love the instructions. I can totally see how you'd get crumbs in the frosting; those bumpy tops would be so difficult to frost around.
Your kids are so darling--can't believe Tyler is SEVEN. Wow.
I love your "about me" tagline, by the way. Perfectly true description of the stay-at-home-life...always busy, but not sure what we do. HA!
Keep in touch. Do you mind if I add you to my sidebar so I don't forget to check up on your blog???
