Birthday Boy!

My Baby Carson is 5 today.

Well. Its here. My baby is officially a .... um... kid. Five years is a big mile stone for me... and him. This is the beginning of our separation. The two of us have spend nearly every waking moment together for five whole years. Now that he is old enough to attend kindergarten he will become more and more independent. While I (his best friend in the world) will have to let go and watch him grow up.

I'm going to need some serious pharmaceutical intervention.

This is Carson at school before his birthday. He looks soooo big!
(but notice even Velcro shoes cant stay on this kid)

The birthday cake I made for our family party.

Oooo la la. Like my new cake stand?

Ok. A few weeks ago Carson told me he wanted a rocket pack for his birthday. I am pretty sure that would be a hard gift to find on ebay. So, I set out to make one myself.
Most of the fabric was sewn with my new sewing machine. However, I have never been very good at sewing so there are some parts put together with a hot-glue gun.
This took hours!!! I was so glad that he liked it.

Please note the detail on the flames. I was very proud of those 'mad skills'. I still cant believe I sewed those together.... with a sewing machine!!! No glue this time!
