Has it really been this long?

I'm kinda - no scratch that - I'm pretty bummed that I have not posted anything in such a long time. The past year of being a working mom has had so many amazing adventures that, not only would have made great blog posts, but would have been great to preserve for my little guy to read someday.  As you can imagine, if I have't had time to blog, what do you think the little man's baby book looks like? Yeah, that's right - just a bunch of empty pages.

Creating the blog was a great way to at least have an online depository of stories and milestones. But going back to work and somehow finding that work-life-blog balance has been somewhat of a challenge. And I know there are TONS of great moms out there that somehow pull it off. I need to obtain their secret sauce and poor it all over my Cheerios in the morning.

Well, with that said, the little man turned 3 last week! 3 - I can't even believe it has been 3 years and at the same time it feels like its been forever.  3 is an interesting time because now he definitely has his opinions and proclaimed to me that he would like a Spiderman birthday party. Which sounded like a great bunch of fun to me. Who doesn't like a great superhero birthday? And so close to Halloween meant that I would get at least two uses out of the costume investment.

This year, just like last year (even though I always say I'm not going to do such a big party again) we had about 30 kiddos running around our Marvel City, complete with Spiderman bounce house.

I did not bake the cake - or even the cupcakes this year. I had the awesome people at Great Dane Bakery  hook me up with a fantastic Spiderman themed cake. Which I awe a big thank you to Tiny Oranges for posting on her Facebook page and helping me find a great bakery!

Anyway - enough of the rambling - you would think I hadn't posted in months - here are some pictures from the party:
