I should have taken some pictures of the shriveled little excuses for cotton candy at the end of the day Saturday, but alas, I did not. Just take my word for it. Cotton candy as party favors in the heat of the summer in Houston didn't work out so hot. Ashley and I spun more cotton candy over the span of three days than I ever care to do in my lifetime. Didn't even get a picture of the stupid stuff when it did look good. boo. in fact, the only picture of cotton candy is this one, in a sad state of aftermath (how did it end up on her eyebrow you ask? I have noooo idea)-
Anyways, celebrated Cameron's 6th birthday Saturday. Crazy. He's officially going to be 6 Wednesday.
Brent's not posing like that- he was a super dad and was holding the umbrella over Cameron while he opened his gifts....
He had a fabulous Star Wars County Fair Pool Party, with tons of friends, and even more sugar to go around. Between the snow cones, the cake and the deflated cotton candy we sent the kids on their way with, I'm sure the parents were all loving me on the way out the door.Had a great time though- and tons of help from fabulous friends was SO appreciated! Especially since miss grace myself managed to break my pinkie toe Friday afternoon. And no, I have no fabulous story to tell- just being my usual klutzy self =)
Cameron had his first outing without me Friday. His friend Jacob wanted to go to the science museum with two of his friends, and his mom and dad took them. Is it crazy if I started to cry when I was giving Cameron the talk about strangers, manners, money, etc. before Jacob's mom came to get him? Ugh. They had a great time though, and he was great (of course!)...
Ashley and I took the kids bowling last week- the kids had fun- always a fun rainy day thing to do... anyways, love this picture of Megan trying to reach up to put her arm around Cam.... even though it almost looks like she's attempting to choke him....
off to get some stuff done- we leave for my mom's on Thursday, and have another birthday party tonight to go to, and celebrating Cameron's birthday Tuesday night, and Wednesday... Cameron's learning how to do it right, and stretch that celebrating out! ha!
Have a great week!

Hows life in your HOT world????
i actually got a cute cotton candy pic i'll send you, i needed a pic of it with the tag since it was digi design work. so now your deflated cotton candy will be famous.
love the chokehold
happy birthday cam and mom!
I just got on line to see if you had added pics from your trip (I'm obsessive that way) and realized that I hadn't seen this post. Yeah, the cotton candy was an interesting experiment...glad you tried it and not me. I would have given up after the first two times.
Cam's party was great. Looking forward to Megan's. Glad you're home.
wow, he's 6 already, that's just amazing - I had to laugh about the cotton candy, last year it was so darn hot for Katy's party everything flopped, so I know the feeling!
Happy Birthday Cam!
