In October I took Ben to PDK airport and they have an awesome playground where kids can watch the planes taking off and landing. I immediately knew what Ben's next birthday would be. I emailed the airport about how to reserve the pavilion, it is free and first come and you post your date and time on their bulletin board. I started <a href="http://pinterest.com/missibea/airplane-party/">pinning</a> almost immediately. <br />
At first I thought I'd go the paper airplane route but decided against it when I found some foam airplanes I liked on <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/design-your-own-fabulous-foam-great-gliders-a2-57_2099-12-1.fltr?Ntt=glider" target="_blank">Oriental Trading</a>. My next thought was to print labels and adhere them to the airplanes. But thinking about Ben I realized the parent wouldn't be able to find the plane when they needed it. So I decided to personalize the planes and then print the invite on a separate piece of paper. I went to Hobby Lobby and got little airplane foam stickers. They came in packs of other modes of transportation but they are cute. Paper, I found sky and cloud stationary from Wal-Mart and printed 3 invites on one piece of paper and used an exacto knife to cute them in equal parts. </div>

Here they are: </div>

To try to spruce it up I put Departure Date, Destination, and Flight Confirmation I put my cell and email. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
The party is next weekend and I'm super excited, more to come of other projects I've put together to continue the theme! <br />
<br />
<strong>UPDATE:</strong> The weather has turned yucky for party weekend and I have to move the party to our house (which was actually Plan C, Plan B was our pool clubhouse- which I found out is not available to be rented in the off-season and a decision made by the board but not communicated well to the rest of us- anyhow that is a rant for another day)<br />
Since we had to move it and it is only a few days before the party I put together this and handed them out and emailed or text it to everyone that has RSVP'd. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is super cute and stayed on theme. Even though the party is no longer at the airport, it will still be a fun airplane themed party. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
As with my <a href="http://missibea.blogspot.com/2012/03/bens-invites-are-out.html" target="_blank">Cars theme invite</a>, if you would like the word document with all this on it to print for your own, let me know in the comments and I will pass it along. <br />

It was great! The setting along the river was better than expected. We got there about 30 minutes before our reservation to have cocktails by the river. We enjoyed the drinks and we didn't have to keep an eye on the time, they came and got us when it was time for our reservation.<br />

We enjoyed our dinner, I even ate rabbit for the first time and was quite pleased with it.<br />
On our anniversary we always splurge on dessert.<br />

<br />
Overall it was a great evening and we definitely plan on going back.<br />

We went with a Cars theme since he is obsessed with McQueen and Mater. I already shared the invites now time for the party most of my ideas came from Pinterest, which I'm addicted to. <a href="http://pinterest.com/missibea/party-ideas/" target="_blank">My Pinterest board for Parties.</a><br />

Caution Cones cups and racing flags on the wreath are from <a href="http://www.birthdayexpress.com/Construction-Cone-Cup/57003/PartyItemDetail.aspx" target="_blank">Birthday Express</a><br />
<br />
The rest of the wreath is paper crafts from Disney's website on <a href="http://family.go.com/disney/disney-cars-crafts-recipes-photo-gallery-pg/view-all/" target="_blank">Cars ideas</a><br />

Ben took a nap on the way down. We had fun taking pictures, Ben was in a GREAT mood, and I was crossing my fingers that she captured some good ones. </div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />
</div><div class="mobile-photo">We took pictures by a lake and at a farmers market. After we left the farmers market (with some bread, cookies, and jam) we grabbed some lunch and got on the road back to home. We were almost home when I got a notification that I had been tagged in pictures on Facebook. She had already posted some sneak peek pictures!! </div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />
</div><div class="mobile-photo">Oh My, as I flipped through them I loved the next one even more. Here are 5 of the 11 photos that she shared with us on Facebook. </div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />

Ben got pink eye on Wednesday and started feeling better on Thursday but on friday morning woke up not feeling well he stayed home with Craig and after a while we realized he needed to go back to the doctor.

But to begin the weekend I'm going to rewind to Tuesday when I met Bobby Flay and picked up his Throwdown cookbook! <br />

Since it was Halloween I bought some pumpkins to make baby food for Ben, anyone that knows well me knows I'm not a cook. I did my research and came up with directions. Now since I don't normally cook pumpkins I bought 5 pie pumpkins to make baby food and pie. After I cut 3 open I realized there is more "meat" in them than I thought. I had enough pumpkin from 3 pie pumpkins to make 40oz of baby food and two pies.I also baked the seeds. Yum!<br />

Ben wasn't feeling his best this weekend. He got his second round of the flu shot Friday and we also found out he had a minor ear infection... poor guy. So he had some fussy times over the weekend.<br />

So I'm going to try that too. I actually don't enjoy writing, never have. But it's starting to grow on me lately and maybe some <a href="http://www.mamakatslosinit.com/2010/10/punky-brewster/">Writer's Workshops</a> would help me out too.<br />
<br />
One of this week prompts is: Show us something you’ve created for Halloween, anything qualifies…costumes, recipes, crafts, party invites, treats, decorations etc..<br />
<br />
Unlike my husband I like Halloween (the fact that it is Reformation Day is more exciting to him). It was always a big deal, carving pumpkins, costumes, and trick or treating when I was growing up. So when I found out I was pregnant I knew exactly what I was going to be for Halloween at our office Costume Contest.<br />

</tbody></table> Yep, A Bun in the Oven!! Since I was barely showing at the time I found a picture online for a good cinnamon bun to tape to my belly. I wrapped a box in silver wrapping paper, the stove top had burners, the door worked, and the timer said 23 weeks left. Pretty good I thought, but some how I didn't win... <br />

My little munchkin will be a<em> gator</em> for his first Halloween - I know, it's SHOCKING!! I am crafty (or at least I can be but let's face it I'm still working on the gator quilt I've gotten 80% of the way complete 3 months ago) but I bought his first costume anyways. I'm making next year's costume... I promise!<br />

I won an Ocean Wonder Aquarium for the crib and got a bonus toy too. So I entered another contest on her website and couldn't believe it when I won AGAIN, this time a gift card to Old Navy!! Woo Hoo! She holds some fun Twitter Parties with great prizes but her blogs can also be fun to read. <br />
<br />
She wrote a post last night Happy Mom Series: What Did You Used to Be? It made me think of myself and my new role as mom.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">If you asked my friends or coworkers who I was before Benjamin they would say a runner and HUGE Gator Fan. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">I've been running races since seventh grade. Started out with the mile, then the 2 mile. Then running the 4x800, 1 mile, and 2 mile in Track meets. Then came Cross Country. Which was 2 then became 3 miles (why they didn't make it a 5k is beyond me). I skipped the 10k and went straight for the 15k when I was living in <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Jacksonville</place></city>. Then in my pure stupidity I signed up for the 2006 Disney Marathon. I had no clue how to train for it, I just knew I wanted to do it. So a month before the race I ran a half marathon on a whim to help train for the marathon I had signed up for... Yes, you read that right, I signed up for a half marathon to "train" for a full marathon. I'm just that NUTS! The half I finished in 2 hours 28 minutes (Craig told me he wouldn't drive me home if I didn't finish under 2.5 hours) and the full I finished in 5 hours 45 minutes. Not bad with no training. I couldn't walk for a couple of days but I did it! I have gone on to run several more half marathons and another full. But the runner inside of me since Ben has arrived has been on a hiatus. Don't get me wrong, when I found out I was pregnant I still went to San Francisco and ran the Nike Women's Half Marathon (4 months pregnant). I signed up for the Peachtree Road Race 10k just before Ben was born in all hopes it would get me back out on the street running as soon as possible. Which it did but then the race came and went and I haven't been running since. I've got all the excuses... it's too dark in the morning, I'm too tired to get up at 6am to go running, when I get home I want to spend time hanging out with Ben and Craig, etc... But now I'm thinking of signing up for the Atlanta Half Marathon in March. So maybe, just maybe the runner will return. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Since I became a mom almost 7 months ago, the Gator fan in me hasn't disappeared and I'm already passing it on to Benjamin. I have bought any article of clothing for Ben that has a gator on it. Every Saturday he wears his Gator onesie and if it is cold he even has a Gator fleece jacket. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Before I was a Mom I was a runner and Gator. Now that I am a mom, I am a Gator that is a mom that hopes one day soon she will be a runner again. </div>Melissa N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15579284919040156919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333740528261267776.post-55026657013960439902010-10-21T22:30:00.000-04:002010-10-21T22:30:12.215-04:00Teeth, Pictures, and CrawlingIt's been a big week for Benjamin.
