Holy Moly Gaucamole Batman, this weekend was exhausting!  The reason for such whirlwind activity was a very important one- Roscoe turned 5! We had not one, not two, but THREE parties for him with the end result being one very happy, and very tired, young man.  The celebrations started out with cake and party favors for his class.  In the interest of time and my sanity, I did not make his cakes for 2/3′s of the parties and bought the favors online via Oriental Trading- easy peasy.  After being hopped up on sugar and the added excitement of turning 5, Roscoe came home to celebrate another party with family.  My mom and dad came in for the party, too, making it an even more special day for our special guy.

What summer party is complete without watermelon?!

 The cake! (Spiderman of course)

 Our big presents to little man were a touch tablet (only $55 folks- not an ipad!) and an ukelele.  I am proud to say he loved both!  As for us, we loved having so many special people with whom to share this awesome occasion.  Once the party was over, however, it was time to gear up for party #3.  Fortunately for us, we decided to keep the friends party low key opting to have it at our neighborhood playground.  We were pleasantly surprised how many folks showed up and had a truly memorable time.

Roscoe’s meal request were pizzas from his favorite spot- Corner Slice.  He even made a custom pizza request of Mac n’ Cheese Bite Pizza.  The consensus was that it was delicious, but I just couldn’t muster the courage to give it a try.

 For dessert we had homemade vanilla ice cream and “hamburger” cupcakes that I made copying a recipe I found online (courtesy of Delicious Melicious)

Although it was an exhausting weekend, we are confident Roscoe felt uber special and had an amazing couple of days: mission accomplished!
