Jayden's Sesame Street Birthday Party

Jayden turned two and we celebrated with a Sesame Street birthday party!

 

Birthday Boy

Sesame Street theme song lyrics leading up to the house.

Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Big Bird footprints leading up the house. 

(Big thanks to my sister for actually doing the work of taping them down for me!)

I love the cookie with a bite taken out of it on the back of Jay's Cookie Monster shirt!

A clown came and did balloon twisting, which the kids loved, and so did the adults!

Photo props can be bought in my Etsy shop :)

 I watched as he backed up against this poster to be with all the characters. So cute.

 Don't disturb me. I'm fishing.

 

The above picture is Jay blowing out his birthday candles and below is me blowing out my candles for my 2nd birthday. I bought the "vintage" cake pan off of e-bay and made Jay the same cake I had.

 

We went back the next day to clean up and Jay loved everything just as much the second day.

 

Hey, I have a rubber ducky too.

 

Cold Turkey

My laptop and phone both broke within 24 hours of each other and I lost all my contact with the outside world. It took almost a week to get my laptop back and a couple days to get a phone. I don't have internet on my phone so even once I got that back, it was only text messages and Twitter via text message.

I always see posts from people about how nice it is to unplug for a few days and get away from all social media. For me it was more like going cold turkey off heavy drugs. Not pretty. I am a very social person and being home all day with no co-workers and no adults to talk is really hard. I love talking to Jayden, but I also need adult conversations. Even aside from social media, you don't realize how much you use the internet until you don't have it. It made me crazy to not be able to look anything up!

I've been trying to catch up ever since. I promise I will post Jayden's birthday party pictures in my next post.

Oh, and I almost forgot-- We got our tax money! Finally!! Hooray for paying bills!!! :) :)
