Blogging Hiatus Over

I unintentionally took a hiatus from blogging over the summer.  It is officially over!  We had a super busy summer and I have been too exhausted to get on the computer once I get home from work so my poor blog has been neglected.  I'm not promising to stay caught up (once I get caught up that is) but I'm putting my best foot forward. 

It seems like we've been to birthday party after birthday party this summer.  This is mostly because I've said "yes" to nearly every invitation the kids received.  We didn't get to do much as far as vacations go this summer due to my husband being beyond stressed and tied to work so I thought this would be a fun way to get out and do things with them.  However, Hudson became a bit obsessed with parties.  He wanted to plan a party at home nearly every night.  I think he will be the Hostess with the Mostess when he gets older as he has observed every single thing that takes place at a party and he has mimicked these things at home by throwing his own parties.  He even delegates jobs out to all of us!  Here we are partaking in Hudson's first party planned all by himself:

We baked cupcakes and grabbed some juice boxes then went up stairs to his room (a.k.a. The Party Room).  We had to wash our hand with hand sanitizer just like we did at Pump It Up and the other party places we had been to.  Then we laid out a towel and ate our snacks.
We had to wear our party hats of course!
Hudson enjoyed eating only the chocolate frosting part of his cupcake.  London didn't hesitate to eat the leftover cake part!

After cake time, Hudson made a Pin the Tail on the Elephant game that we played.  Next he cranked up the auto-play music on his keyboard and we danced to some polka music.  Good times!
