The past month has been insane... and resulted in a crap-ton of pictures.
My dad's 50th surprise party went off without a hitch!
(I realize that is super young for a granddad, but I was adopted by my aunt and uncle so he's not biological! )
Although I'm having a really hard time with the fact that my brothers are now teenagers and the oldest is a college student. What the crap!
Also, I finished the Couch to 5k program and ran my first 5k!
My friend Ashley and I ran it together and it wasn't that bad! There were a TON of big hills, though, so I'm pretty proud that I only walked 100 steps (yup, I'm a geek and counted!) and ran the rest of it! I'm already signed up for a 2nd one on October 8th!
I used this tutorial to make a new pillow for the couch! I used 2.5" squares because that's what I already had cut out from a random night when I cut pretty much ALL of my scraps with the Go cutter!
This was my first time putting an invisible zipper in a pillow- it was easier and faster than the envelope method in my opinion!
Lastly, Noah turned 2 yesterday! We threw a Dr. Suess themed party on Saturday. Most (if not all) of these ideas came from Pinterest (here's the link to my pinboard of ideas for it!). We rented a bouncy house (from Friday to Monday- yeah, we hung out in it after Noah went to bed at night, so what?) and I think all the kids had a blast!!
These party hats were presh! I totally recommend Modern Bebe for any party printables! She was so great and the stuff was so easy to print!
The favor bags had "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" skewers, 2 pencils and 2 buttons (from the Target one spot!).
The birthday boy had a great time!
Today I even went ahead and made Noah's thank-you postcards and started writing them!
I've never been this on top of things!
Whew! Now that the crazy month is over, I'm hoping to have some more time to finish some projects- first off that t-shirt quilt!
