you a few highlights from my weekend. I
attended a birthday party for my 11 year old nephew and had such a great time. We
all played hopscotch, blew bubbles, ate <a href="http://www.redvelvetcupcakery.com/">Red Velvet Cupcakes</a>, wrote our names with ice cream inspired sidewalk chalk,
painted piggy banks, sang karaoke, played on the monkey bars and had a water gun battle {OK, well I didn’t participate
but still got wet, an innocent casualty}. </span></div>
