Hard to believe that our sweet little chubby baby has turned 10, but ohhhhh he’s such a wonderful little boy! Pardon Me, but I’ve got to brag on these beautiful, smart, funny future gentlemen! They make life soooo enjoyable that surely my world must have been awfully bland without them!

He wanted a Dr. Gregory House birthday party.
Solution?

Little guests in “Doctor in Training” suits

rubber gloves as party bags filled with:
first aid items, hugs and kisses candy (because you know you need lots of those when your dealing with House)
tic-tac “Vicadin” (should have heard the kids wondering aloud what they would use for Vicadin at the local CVS - just a few eyebrows raised)
laser pens and blank notepads for writing prescriptions.

We forgot the squishy balls to throw against the wall (okay - Mommy just ‘conveniently’ forgot).

Here’s the table:

And the handsome attendings:

Stetson’s birthday wish list had:

A cane like House’s
A tiperiter
ponchin bag
cowboy shirt
and a jene jakit
and red suspenders.

He got everything on his list +some! The cane and typewriter are from our local antique store. I painted them with black testor paint. I painted the flame design on the end of the cane with red, yellow, and gold. The typewriter is a Royal manual typewriter in excellent condition. I made the cowboy shirt from cotton and embroidered the cowboy, feather, and spurs using free patterns from AnntheGran.com ’s website. That was alot of fun. Slobo found pearl ’snap looking’ buttons Thank Goodness! I couldn’t find pearl snaps anywhere and was really glad not to have to worry with putting real snaps on it. The shirt has a secret - I interfaced the white broadcloth with a white muslin iron-on interfacing and accidentally embroidered the interfacing side - Teach ME to use my glasses! LOL. He doesn’t know - and I’m not telling! It was the night before his birthday and I didn’t have enough white broadcloth to cut new pieces - soooooooooo If I couldn’t tell - he shouldn’t be able to. Oh well mom…..

Next birthday in two weeks - Little Dr. Chase turns 7!

*Sniff* they are growing up tooooooooo fast!
