Mustache Bash

Love the mustache, but pardon my appearance. Just wanted to try out my mustache-on-a-stick.
This was before I got ready (but I did not take any pictures after I got ready).

We were invited to a surprise 30th birthday party for Cassidy's husband. Cassidy is the nurse where I teach and we were pregnant at the same time. I had never met Dan prior to the party but I was looking forward to celebrating with them. I knew Dave would have to work but made props for Sophia and myself. I found a mustache template online and used it to make onesies for Sophia and a mustache-on-a-stick for me. I made two onesies just in case Sophia decided to have an out of diaper experience.

Want to make your very own mustache t-shirt (or any other diy iron-on)? Follow the very simple directions on this site. Since I knew Sophia most likely would only be wearing her 'stache onesie to this party I did not stitch around the edge, but by the end of the night the tips of the mustache were starting to pop up, so make sure you sew your creation if you plan on wearing it more than once.

We almost didn't make it to the party because the air conditioning at our house decided to stop working. Fortunately, a technician was able to come to the house and we got to Bash an hour after I had originally planned to be there. Unfortunately I did not bring my camera and my phone was just about dead so I did not get any pictures of her cute house and decorations, but found some internet inspiration if you want to throw your very own Mustache Bash.

The night ended with an outdoor movie and a popcorn bar.

We had a great time!

 

Draft Day!

Dave LOVES the NFL Draft and starts a countdown as soon as football season ends. You think with a countdown I would be prepared for this important day - nope!
The draft starts on Thursday evening and runs through the weekend.

Her cheerleader outfit is super cute, but a little big.

Wednesday I started scouting out girly Eagles gear for Sophia. I think I would have been successful in Pennsylvania, but in North Carolina I had no such luck. I would have been happy to find a regular football onesie. After scouting out Sports Authority, Buy Buy Baby, Old Navy, and Target I headed to Joann Fabrics to see if I could make something.

I am not crafty, but after wandering around the store FOREVER I found hope. First I had stickers that I planned on decorating a onesie with. But I decided to take it to the next level and bought iron-ons.They didn't have Eagles green so I went with pink glitter letters and a football. I think it turned out pretty well!

Couldn't get the picture to turn :/

L.O.V.E. this cutie.

I think Dave was quite surprised with the outfit...and my attempt at football food (only sausage balls and loaded nachos). During the draft one of my friends tweeted that her husband compared the draft to Christmas for pro football fans. Dave agrees and even went so far as to say that he enjoys the draft more than regular season games. If you saw the look on his face when the Eagles traded up to take a player he wanted you would have seen pure joy. Me, I'm just along for the ride.

Sophia and Dave were glued to the television.



Happy little lady.

Go Eagles!
