Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

We love all things Disney...so I had alot of fun doing a Mickey birthday for Sam.

Cousins with homemade Mickey shirts...compliments of my crafty sister (I do not know what I would do without her, Thank you sister!! You always take my crazy ideas and then run with them)...

My neice, Blynn, modeling...notice the shirt and Mickey cups.

Birthday boy with pirate Mickey shirt....already with kool-aid stained mouth and dirty shirt (since he asked to put it on at 6 am that morning).

I cannot tell you how hard it was to remove one side of the Oreo without breaking them and then not eating the rest of all of them...willpower people!!

My husband asked me the day before the party if he could help with anything...I said are you sure...he said yes...I gave him the task of making 30 Mickey Mouse cups....he was complaining the whole time!!!


Sam got a delivery from his Aunt and Uncle from Edible Arrangements...they asked him to sign for it, sooooo cute!


We played a Mickey Mouse dress-up relay race. Fun to see the kids enjoying themselves and a great day!

(Note: It took me awhile to figure out how to spell "wore". You know when you look at a word and it just doesn't look right. I tried "whore" and "war". Thank goodness I finally settled on wore.)

Fun Facts about the Crew

Should I be worried this happens to all our toys? These poor little guys... Who needs the door when you can just climb out the window...also saves finger prints on my glass door, but does let in quite a few more bugs!

This is the staple dressware right now....thank goodness for Oxyclean!

P.S. One of these underoos is Rusty's and Luke was wearing them and he asked the other day to have them back because he really is particular about his underwear, but I don't have the heart to tell him the puppy took off with them somewhere and I have no idea where they are!! Guess I will be purchasing some new underoos soon....

Sam Story Mania

Sam turned five yesterday and said he didn't feel five...this morning I asked him again and he said, "I feel a little more five today". He woke me up at 5:30 yesterday morning. He was keeping with the "five" theme by waking in the 5 o' clock hour, how sweet! He has the greatest smile...and always gives me five kisses (again the "five" theme)

His nicknames are Sammers, Sam-Bam, Bammers, Bubba, Sam Bill.

He loves to be with his big brother, he walks just like me, looks like his "vavi", has the best hair.

Makes the silliest faces, puts together some interesting outfits, gets really embarrased if people see him without his shirt on. (and yet most of the pictures I have of him are shirtless)

Thank you, Sam, for making this life so fun and interesting. You always make me laugh! Thank you, Jesus, for giving him too this family. Happy "fifth" birthday little man.
