Landons Camo Campout! (and a contest!)

Scratch that, reverse...we will start with the contest! lol Krystyn over at Really, Are you Serious is hosting a giveaway!!! I wasn't going to link to her so you wouldn't go over there and play yourself, but I thought that was just rude of me! Where has my holiday spirit gone?!?! And she is also giving me another entry for mentioning this on my blog, so I guess I better put a link! lol

Its all about making a cook out of anybody, and I must show you this next picture to show what I stirred up! If you know me, I AM NOT a cook! I screw everything up or I just get annoyed with it and give up! SOOO, when my friends found out I was making Landons cake, I think they got a little worried! Have no fear my friends, look what I did....

OH yeah baby...(ok, so whatever, I did get the idea off the internet, but I made it come to life!) Check out my graham cracker sleeping bags, campfire made out of pretzels, trees made out of cornflakes and marshmallows, and dirt made out of crumbs!!!! So anyways, wish me luck with the cake contest (you know, the one you should have clicked on up there and entered yourself by now!) Krystyn (aka Em and Izzy) made a butterfly cake that turned out so cute! Look at us little Betty Crockers in the making!!

Now on to my little 6 year olds birthday party!!! (which seems like it was months ago, but was just 3 weekends ago!) He decided to have a campout like Skylahs a few months ago!

The front of his shirt...

My lovely best friends..aka Camp Leaders for the night! Love you girls..thank you for helping out! Couldn't have done it without you all! (and Jeff!)
Lined up about to watch the bottle of Pepsi and mentos explode! lol
Time for SMORES!!!
and presents!
and surprisingly enough, all NINE boys were asleep by midnight!
Eating yummy donuts the next morning!
All in all, it was a great birthday party! It will definitely be a few years before I try and tackle that again though! WHEW...9 boys is quite a lot!
I still have more of his birthday posts, Q & A coming up tomorrow morning, Christmas and some other things to post about, but I figure I can make you wait a little bit longer! lol
Dont miss yesterdays post and make sure to come back tomorrow for my 100th post Q & A!!
