Learning to Live Life with a Full Heart

Yo Gabba Gabba!

March 12, 2013

For Lorelei’s birthday we decided to have a Yo Gabba Gabba party since she really likes that show (and so do we). We kept it just us because Jason’s sister was due with her baby right around Lorelei’s birthday and that would have been just too crazy.

In keeping with the colorful theme, I wanted to try out a rainbow cake, but instead of food coloring, using actual food to color the cake. I found a great recipe that explained in depth just how to do that.

Making cupcakes

Everybody helped, even grandma.

Rainbow colored

I decided to do cupcakes and they started out very colorful. It was almost like a science experiment getting the cake to change colors.

Finished product

Unfortunately after it baked the colors were not very bright and the cake itself was not one of my favorites. Next time I might add more coloring (especially the “red”) and choose a yummier cake recipe. We still had a great time!

Two!

Blowing out the candles

Lorelei blew out her candle all by herself!

Presents

Then, it was present time. She got a pee-wee pillow pet panda, puzzles, clothes, toys, books and a new baby doll.

Twinkle Twinkle

She immediately pulled it out and started feeding the baby and singing, “twinkle, twinkle little star…” so cute.

Eye on Muno

We then played stick the eye on Muno. Muno is the red guy, in case you don’t watch Yo Gabba Gabba.

Nora's turn

Nora won!

Lorelei's turn

Lorelei totally cheated (I think Nora did too), but it was fun spinning them and we adults got in on the fun too and did terribly. “Celebrating Lorelei’s birthday iiiiiss AWESOME!!”

Hey, you.

Hey, you.

I'm a mom of four in a step family, co-parenting (sorta) with the ex and wandering through life pondering the big stuff, little stuff and everything in between.

What to expect…

This is a place for me to ponder out loud those things that are still screaming in my head and have gotten passed the journal and my hubby. As well as document milestones along our family journey.

I hope things read here find a connection with you.

I tend to talk about yoga, friendship, chickens, puppies, my kids, trips we take, decisions we make, school and the occasional rant (though I try to delete those before I hit “publish”).

Love is a Place

love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places

yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skilfully curled)
all worlds

-ee cummings
