Tackle It Tuesday – Birthday Week is Over
 Click here to get the banner code and start tackling. | |||
I am done! Sunday we had Jackson’s second 6th birthday party. (The first one we had was last Tuesday on his birthday and we took Jackson and five of his friends to laser tag. This one was at the local recreation center and we invited his friends from school and his cousins.) It was a bit of extra work to do two parties, but it worked quite well to split the groups up. I may do it again – we will see though. Here are a few pictures from the party.
Yes – those are blue cupcakes with worms on top. I am no Martha Stewart! But They tasted good. And Jackson wanted cupcakes with worms on top. He doesn’t like chocolate cake, so he wanted white/vanilla again. But that would have been exactly the same as what I brought for school on his birthday. So this time I mixed it up a bit and colored the icing blue – his favorite color! And in true “last minute Janice style” I was up icing cupcakes at 1am the night before the party. LOL Tonight I wanted to finish finding homes for his new toys, but I think I have broken my foot! I smashed it against the door frame earlier today and I am still in agony. I am hobbling around on my heel because my toes are swollen and throbbing. Not conducive to high speed tackling. So my work around the house will have to be a bit more slower paced tonight and tomorrow. But at least I got the birthday parties finished! What are you tackling? Link up and show off! PS – In case you missed it, we are holding a contest for the best button design for our upcoming Ultimate Blog Party 2008. If any of you are designers and want to tackle a design idea, we would love to see it! | |||

Oh my son would love those blue cupakes with gummi worms too
Great job on tackling the parties
Mine is up, I almost forgot to take the before photo AGAIN!
Ouch! Your foot must be hurting pretty bad. I hope you feel better soon and that its not broken.
Cupcakes came out cute, sometimes the simple things are much more appreciated. All the kids see on them anyway is sugar! Hope you have a great day.
I think the split parties are a great idea. Keeps things from becoming too overwhelming.
Oh, and I’ve done the exact same thing with my foot! My poor right pinky toe has never looked the same. It’s awful. And I couldn’t wear decent shoes for several weeks.
You have my great sympathy!
I think those cupcakes look very yummy, my kids would love them too !!
Looks like everything went off great!
Looks like the parties were a hit! I think the cupcakes are COOL!
Hope your foot feels better soon. I dropped a storage container on mine a few months ago and YEOWZERS!
Tackling the bedrooms today, getting ready for my daughters birthday party. Hope your foot feels better!

Ok, my very first attempt at a Tackle is up. I’m trying to get the master bedroom cleaned up before sunset. Wish me luck!
Mine is up in all it’s glory. I can already see that this theme is going to be very good for me.
Your page is cut off. Unfortunally I can’t input my link for Tackle It Tuesday. Good Luck to everyone!

Hope your foot gets better!
Sounds like you have two successful parties behind you! Congrats!
Looks like Jackson had a great birthday! Awesome pics!!
My kitchen is getting a makeover – so thats my tackle it Tuesday project
I am having problems with your page too. The posts are cut off in the right side margin. I can only see a little bit of the picture on the right and am missing all the words at the end of each line. I hope you can fix it because I’d love to be able to read your entire posts.
Mine is up! It looks like you’ve had lots of birthday fun around your house.
Oh Honey go get that foot x rayed! The cupcakes are cute. The way they desire is the perfect gift worms and all:)
I’m having problems with your page as well. Mine is up though!
Aargh! Birthday parties! My post is about that same subject: http://blog.feefifoto.com/2008/01/tackle-it-tuesd.html
And what’s wrong with blue cupcakes?
Oh no – I hope your foot is ok! And I’m glad that the parties went well – we’ve got Becca’s coming up this weekend too.
My boys recently attended a laser tag birthday party too. Hope your foot feels better soon.
I posted a Tackle It Tuesday for the first time–on laundry and closets.
