Coolest. Cake. Ever. I was so proud of this thing, and I had nothing to do with it except ordering it and writing a check. Shout out to Hillcrest Bakery in Bothell for doing a FABULOUS job!!
My baby, the Bugga Bugga Birthday Girl, is going to be three on Thursday. In honor of this momentous event, I will be writing a post in support of March of Dimes' Fight for Preemies campaign. November is Prematurity Awareness Month, and in conjunction with Bloggers Unite, are holding a blogging campaign tomorrow, November 17th. You can click here to view all of the posts. Mine, of course, will be found here. I plan on telling Katelyn's story, from a near miscarriage when I was six weeks along and a devastating diagnosis and recantation at 26 weeks; to my struggle in the hospital to stay pregnant, her subsequent delivery at 33 weeks and her journey to happy and healthy three year old. I will warn you, I'm going to be laying it all out there, and tears are possible. Just so you know.
Also in honor of the big day, we threw a Ghostbusters Birthday Party. Ghostbusters for a 3 year old girl's birthday party? I know it sounds strange, but the kid is obsessed. I absolutely have to meticulously monitor her viewing of said movie, and only allow once, sometimes twice a day or she would quite literally stay pasted to the screen all day long. She also has days where she will only respond to me if I address her as "Dr. Venkman." She's the coolest kid ever! When she requested said birthday party, Hubs and I were only too pleased to comply.
We had green slime (banana pudding with food coloring), green slime jello shots for the adults, ecto-cooler (children and adult versions), twinkies, hot dogs (in honor of the hot dog stand Slimer flies out of in the first movie), and, did I mention, the coolest cake ever?
We also smacked a Slimer pinata,
some of us sat in chairs that were too small for us....
babies got passed around....
and others got sick of having their picture taken, even if they were the birthday girl.
The party went swimmingly, very fun and low maintenance. I can't say thank you enough to all the people who most importantly, came to help us celebrate, and also spoiled the Bugga rotten. Thank you again.
