Isaiah's Lunchbox~ Playing Ketchup...

Get it?? Playing Ketchup?...No?...Ketchup...Catch up?
Um, anyways I am officially trying to catch up on some of Isaiah's lunches he has been taking. We have had the past couple of weeks just totally been thrown for a loop. ALL 5 of us here have been sick off and on and I personally was exhausted. I hardly even got on the computer at all, and did not have time to post lunches. Sorry! However, I did get some pics of a few of Isaiah's lunches(with the Iphone so they aren't the best) but at least I did catch a little. There has also been a few times that Isaiah wanted to eat in the cafeteria and a few times there was a holiday at his school or he was out sick.

Day 34: Batty lunch

Bat pb and j sandwich, a banana (I carved a bat with Boo in it), clementines, candy corn, bugles and peanuts, and a fang candy.

 Day 35: Fall roll ups

Turkey roll ups, halloween chips, apple slices, boo mallows, and a fall rice krispy treat.
 

 

Day 36: Haunted mansion spookiness

Haunted house tuna sandwich, halloween pretzels, spooky oreo cookies, and a clementine I drew a jackolantern face on.

Day 37: Isaiah was sick this day with crazy allergies so I made him a Halloween muffin tin meal.

Boo mallows, halloween tortilla chips, oreo cakester dipped in sprinkles, jello, halloween shaped mac n cheese, and clementine oranges.

 

Day 38: Isaiah's Happy Birthday Lunch (he actually took this one the day before his bday)

Birthday sandwich with fruit strips for the ribbon, pretzel sticks, clementine, birthday cookies, cupcake flavored goldfish cookies, m&ms and a cute birthday pick;)

 

 

 Day 39: Lazy day lunch;)

Puzzle pb sandwich, cheese stick, goldfish, cheese stick, and a mini granola bar.

 

 

Day 40: Isaiah LOVED this one because of the sub sandwich...he's requested it again!

Roast beef and turkey sub sandwich, cheese its, graham cookies, and sliced strawberries.

 

 

Day 41: Leftover pizza lunch

Leftover pizza from the night before, raisins, oranges, and caramel popcorn with white fudge drizzles.

Day 42:Squirrel lunch

Squirrel sandwich, fruit roll up, cheese balls, and "acorn" donut holes. To make these "acorns" I dipped the donut holes in nutella(could use chocolate or pb), then I dipped them in chopped peanuts(could use sprinkles), and then I poked an end of a pretzel stick in the top.




 

Well, hopefully this can sort of catch me up on some of the posts. I plan to start doing them weekly again! We shall see how it goes.;)

Isaiah's Monster Bash

For Isaiah's 6th Birthday he decided he wanted a monster bash. Pinterest is crawling with ideas so I was excited to say the least. :)
Isaiah's Aunt Krissy came up with a great idea to do a caramel apple bar which ended up being a huge hit. We had TONS of sugar, TONS of food, TONS of kiddos and family so I would say it was a big success!:)

My big 6 year old!!!

We served homemade chili, frito pies, roasted hotdogs(we had a fire built where everyone roasted their own), chips and dip and monster cookies. Not to mention loads of candy!
 

Our caramel apple bar consisted of- apples on sticks, caramel, white chocolate, mini marshmellows, crushed oreos, chopped peanuts, lots of different sprinkles, coconut, all flavors of candy corn, and mini m&ms.  We also roasted marshmellows for smores. YES lots of sugar. This was all before the cake! UGH...makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it!

 

The kids enjoying their apples:

 

 

We had a hayride, pinata, sack races, and roasted hotdogs and marshmellows to make smores. And of course whats a Monster bash party without the Monster Mash soundtrack. Isaiah showed off his break dancing skills. hehe

We were VERY busy with activities. I think the kids had a sugar rush that probably lasted a week long.lol

 

Here are some pics of our fun night: Sorry for the pic overload...there were just so many to choose from. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Birthday Surprises

Isaiah's actual birthday fell on a school day this year. He still had a great day and was thrilled when I surprised him with lunch and cupcakes for his class at school. I didn't make him a lunch this day and instead surprised him with a Subway cheese pizza, sugar cookie and a rootbeer...his fav.
After school I had some simple birthday fun planned to make his night special!
This year I decided to fill six birthday balloons with money for Isaiah's birthday. Some were filled with dollars and some with coins. Since Isaiah was turning six he would receive a total of 6.00. He LOVED that all these balloons were specifically his. And he also LOVED popping them with push pins. It was a fantasic tradition to start and we plan on doing this for all the boys.

 

SIX...I cannot believe it!!!!

 

 

On the menu of the night.....Isaiah's request;)...Hotdogs, funyuns and birthday cookies. He is one easy boy to please. haha

 

 

Can't forget the candle.lol

 

He also got a special gift this day. A new ninjago lego set!

 

 

Him and his daddy mastered this one pretty quickly.

 

 Isaiahs eyes are always closed. lol

 

 We played LOTS of games. Skip bo jr, Candy Land, Uno, and Chutes and Ladders.

And at the end of the night Isaiah was surprised by Skully with a SPOOKY bath! (post coming soon with more details.)

 

 

Overall our sweet little guy had a great day! Sometimes its the simple things that make the best memories!

 

Happy 6th Birthday Isaiah!!!

I cannot believe it but our oldest turns SIX years old today. Wow. This past year has absolutely flown by. I have really been holding on to every last second of our days. It seems like they are gone before I blink.
This birthday I wanted to dedicate this post directly to Isaiah and let him know some of the reasons I LOVE him so much.  He is such an important part of this little family of five and I want him to know some of the serious and silly reasons why:

1) I love your giggle..makes me laugh every time
2) I love how your face lights up when I say I will play with you
3) I love your fohawk...you are the King of spiky hair and have been sporting the spikes since you were one!
4) I love to see you "break dance". You always make up your own moves and they always crack us up.
5) You have the most amazing big eyes and beautiful eyelashes. (I wish daddy would let me put mascara on them just ONCE)lol
6)I truly LOVE your nonstop chatter...when your gone at school I find myself missing it!
7) You are an amazing big brother to two little boys who adore you more than you will ever know!
8) I love your bear hugs and your cute little dimples...ok that's two things but oh well!:)
9) Its so cute how you still think that a seatbelt is called a "be selt"...
10) Its so wonderful to see you reading now. You are always so anxious to learn more and once you get the words down you get so excited. I love to see you learn new things.
11) I love watching you start forming your own opinions and styles.
12) Can't get enough of your knock knock jokes...they are priceless
13) It melts my heart as I see you kiss and hug both of your little brothers. So sweet to see as your mommy!!!
14) I love your LEGO creations. Usually you build a boat that is functional for both land and water and it ALWAYS has a secret weapon somewhere on it.
15) I love when you ask if we can throw you a fake birthday...lol..the magic of your birthday is still so important to you!
16) You are a perfect gift from God that I have been thanking him for 2,190 days now(plus the entire time I was pregnant with you!)
17) I love when you come home from school and the first thing you ask for is a snack and you say please mommy..you are the best at making snacks! I love being the "best" at things for you!
18) I love seeing you making and playing with new friends.
19) I miss your sweet little chubby hands that I used to hold but I do LOVE to see how you are starting to look like a big boy now!
20) I love singing our song (Lolly Dolly) every single night to you! I will sing it anytime you want!

Happy Birthday sweet boy! There is SO MUCH to love about you! This list doesn't put a dent into the forever list you hold in my heart! Thank you for being such a blessing! My heart never knew I could love anything until six years ago when you were born! I am one lucky mommy!!!
