Usually I order him a cake, but the only Nascar cakes available were other drivers besides Kyle Busch. Obviously that wouldn't do, so I made a chocolate sheet cake and we ordered some of Kyle's cars that Kelton didn't have to stick on the cake. He loved it!
I also wanted to make something Buggy safe and thought Cake Balls would be awesome! I used a Namaste Chocolate Cake Mix, Pillbury Cream Cheese Frosting, and Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. They turned out really really good! Nobody could even tell they were dairy and gluten free!
It just so happens that this birthday was a HUGE when it comes to gifts! Nana and Papa got him a BB gun, Mimi gave him a basketball goal, and he got a new bike from Mommy, Daddy and Bugs. Not to mention a bunch of other gifts from friends and family!
Seems like the past few years, we always order Chinese the evening after Kelton's party and that's something I totally didn't forget! Katie was glad I remembered!
I am massive, of course. Sunday we were 36wks, only 25 days away from our scheduled csection on 2/18. Currently, I'm having lots of uncomfortable braxton hicks and lots of back pain. I've never gone into labor before, but I guess it could always happen this time...although I'm not counting on it.
Being HUGE isn't going to stop me from bargain shopping! Target and Walgreen's had some pretty good diaper deals this week! Here's what we got at Target today for $23.87 . I did have a $10 gift card (just from creating a baby registry!), but I also got a $5 gc to use on my next trip for buying 3pks of diapers!
It's no question that I'm a total fanatic when it comes to my kid's teeth. I used to have to practically lay on Kelton to get his brushed when he was younger. I also have to do the same for Katie, however, someone is a princess when it comes to Daddy brushing her teeth!
Kelton's school is collecting pennies for Haiti and he couldn't wait to sort through his piggy bank to donate. I love his big heart!
Supposedly, we have ice and snow on the way to our area, which is hard to believe considering it was 55 today. I really hope the weather man is wrong!

We had a great time visiting and playing and of course the cake and ice cream wasn't bad either. Kelton did get some wonderful gifts and I'm sure will enjoy them all. See you VERY soon! We might have a Konnor BD before Bugs.
The party looks like a blast! Your little guy is really growing up. I'm still trying to learn to bargain shop. I'm not a great shopper.
