All About Jr.

This past weekend my niece stayed with us. She Rocks! I could hardly sleep the Thursday before she came bc I knew the weekend was gonna be so fab!  She is hands down the easiest pre teen ever! Oh, one other thing - She is my Jr Bridesmaid, eeeeeeek!

We started the evening along the water front at The Crab Pot. 

We stuffed ourselves silly with Dungeness Crab, Snow Crab, Shrimp in the Shell, Steamed Clams & Mussels, Andouille Sausage, Corn on the Cob, and Red Potatoes...We almost cleared the table...

 

We needed a good nights sleep for our next project, which was 'sticking' our masks.  Remember I got masks for our wedding party!?!?  Well, I thought they were on sticks like the masks I bought for Goose and me, they weren't!  The masks for the wedding party had ribbon tie backs - no worries bc the folks at Ben Franklin helped me remedy the situation.  Jr took charge of spray painting the sticks (we got lucky with the weather, it was sunny and beautiful) and hot glue gunning them to the masks.....

Mask pre stick and post stick...

Project Complete! Until, Jr saw my mask and asked if we could trade for the wedding, LOL

She is a hoot, that Jr! Especially w/ her 'hand on hip' pose!  Our next project was stuffing all of the escort card favors with candy.... 

We stuffed them with: Reese's Pieces, Starburst Jelly Beans, Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish, Skittles, Peanut M&M's, and Candy Corn.  I hope the guests enjoy the mix, LOL  Our next project was converting black wooden table numbers I bought from a bride off of WB into purple wooden table numbers....

Lookin' good Lookin good, wouldn't you say? And after all these fun filled, toxic spray painting, candy packing projects were completed....I topped it off by baking some Pumpkin Spiced Whoopie Pies, which I found here - Thx Mrs Fro Yo....

There you have it - My weekend with Jr.  Quite a fun weekend, right?  

This week has been a doozy thus far.  I have cried once a day.  I am falling asleep around 12:30am and waking up between 4:30-5am.  I am running errands during lunch.  I am NOT keeping to my crash diet.  Shit, I'm not even keeping to an eating routine.  One week from today my parents and my FIL's arrive.  One week and one day from today my friends from college arrive.  One week and two days my bm's arrive.  One week and 3 days my high school friends arrive.  One week and 4 days I become MRS.  

Tonight is date night, PHEW!
