Party Time: The Very Hungry Caterpillar


We had Liam's Birthday party on Saturday! 

The weather was amazing & we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day-- we were lucky, because the party was outside at the pavilion & playground at the church where the boys go to Mother's Day Out. The timing (11am-1pm) was just long enough for the kids to play on the playground, eat lunch, open presents and eat some cake. We are so lucky to have family & friends who love Liam so much and want to help us celebrate!

Here are some pics of our fun day!

The (mini) cake:


We served the fruit from the book that the caterpillar ate:


And made up our own treats for what he ate on Saturday:


The chocolate cake push pops were great for the park (minimal mess!):


The food table with Liam's Birthday banner:


 The Pavilion:

 
The party favors (reusable VHC bags, bubbles, color-your-own-caterpillar cups, leaf crayons, sprees and tubes of gum):

Liam's Birthday Outfit-- a personalized VHC shirt with red & white seersucker shorts:

 
 Jack had his own VHC shirt, with the same shorts (Unfortunately, he was wearing a bib in most shots so I didn't get a good pic! Better shot here.):


 The gang all ate:


The babies played:


 Jack & Daddy read some of Liam's new books:


And Mommy & Liam mowed the lawn:


We had a fantastic day!


Happy 2nd Birthday, Liam!


WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

  1. I am very desperate to get about a dozen of the VHC bags. Where did you get yours from please?

    1. I got them from the dollar spot at Target, back in Sept! I don't think they have them anymore. :( I know that the Eric Carle Museum website has small VHC treat bags, though!

    3. ⚔️SECURITY is a constant concern in today’s world, when technology can easily work with or against our safety. Everyone carries a smartphone these days, with a growing 2.32 billion users who access private information on their device daily.
      The question is, who else is accessing that private information?
      In 2016, hackers targeted nearly a million Android phones–and that statistic isn’t even considering phones with other operating systems such as Apple or Windows.
      Luckily, there are ways to tell whether your smartphone has been hacked. If any activity on your phone seems suspicious, run a few quick checks to make sure that your phone’s security is on the up-and-up. Let’s start from the beginning:o

      Know the Signs and Signals
      Make yourself aware of common signs that your phone is being monitored. Knowing all these codes doesn’t help if you don’t know what abnormal activity looks like, and therefore don’t know when or how to use them. Warning signs include:
      * Unknown apps: Malicious monitoring apps need to be directly installed on your device, so it’s a red flag if you see an app with a vague name that you don’t recognize.
      * Rapid battery loss: Malware constantly running in the background takes a toll on your phone’s resources, which can also lead to slow performance and unusual overheating.
      * Strange text messages: Are friends receiving SMS or social media messages that you didn’t send?
      * Increased data or SMS use: When your data and SMS use for the month exceeds your normal use significantly, it can mean that you’re not the only one controlling device use.
      * Pop-ups despite having an adblocker. Strange pop-ups may appear attempting to phish information if malware is affecting your phone.
      * Blocked e-mails: Are you sending e-mails that never reach their destination? This mysterious phenomena indicates that your e-mail configuration has been moved to an unauthorized server.
      * Data breaches
      * : If you’ve had private information like passwords or private messages leaked, that’s a good sign that there’s a problem elsewhere. 
      This isn’t an exhaustive list of potential signs and signals that you’re being hacked, but it should give you a good idea so you can make common-sense decisions about what’s normal and what isn’t. Next: what action should you take if you notice a red flag?

  33. real testimony and good news !!!

    My name is Mohammad, I just received my loan and has been transferred to my bank account, a few days ago I applied to the Dangote Loan Company through Lady Jane (Ladyjanealice@gmail.com), I asked Lady Jane about the Dangote Loan Company requirements and Jane told me that if I had all the requirements that my loan would be transferred to me without delay

    And believe me now because my Rp11 billion loan with an interest rate of 2% for my Coal Mining business has just been approved and transferred to my account, this is a dream to come, I promise Lady Jane that I will tell the world is this true? and I will tell the world now because this is true

  35. GET RICH WITH THE USE OF BLANK ATM CARD FROM
    (besthackersworld58@gmail.com)
    Has anyone here heard about blank ATM card? An ATM card that allows you to withdraw cash from any Atm machine in the world. No name required, no address required and no bank account required. The Atm card is already programmed to dispense cash from any Atm machine worldwide. I heard about this Atm card online but at first i didn't pay attention to it because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got the card from guarantee Atm card vendor. We both went to the ATM machine center and confirmed it really works, without delay i gave it a go. Ever since then I’ve been withdrawing $1,500 to $5000 daily from the blank ATM card & this card has really changed my life financially. I just bought an expensive car and am planning to get a house. For those interested in making quick money should contact them on: Email address : besthackersworld58@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +1(323)-723-2568
