This past winter, a friend and I were chatting about birthday party dilemas. She mentioned the idea of having one celebration in the summer for all three of her kids. A lightbulb went on. Why not host one big birthday bash for all the kids! It could be a yearly event!

My mind started ticking at the possibilities. We could have it in June since that month isn’t currently occupied by a birthday. It could be a potluck. Guests wouldn’t even need to bring gifts. We’d have it at the park. No need to limit how many guests to invite. Oh the possibilities…

This June, the first annual Silva Summer Birthday Bash was born. We had our first celebration on the 14th. Twenty-seven guests showed up! Not bad for the first year eh? Some guests brought gifts anyway, everyone pitched in with food, drinks, cups, plates, etc., and I bought a big cake.

(Notice the finger prints above the h and d in birthday? Hmmm - they seem to be the same size as Little Miss Princess’ fingers.)

We had some games, but the biggest draw were the waterguns.

(Bob decided to come after me, so I grabbed the Super Soaker and ran!)

(Don’t worry, I got him back).

Some of the guys played Frisbee Golf, the ladies chatted, and the kids played. The weather felt custom ordered with sunshine warm enough for water play, but cool enough for spectators sitting in the shade. It was a beautiful day and the kids loved every minute of it.

(Don’t worry, they weren’t burnt, just hot from playing hard.)

I’m thinking we need to have a theme next year. Maybe Hawaiian. Hula skirt anyone?

Lady Muse here, your new Giveaway Host for a dash of sassitude. First, I’d like to give a shout out to all my feline friends and their pets! For those humans who have yet to get a feline owner, what are you waiting for? We love our pets, but we don’t lavish our love on them lest they forget their place.

This week’s giveaway: For my first giveaway, I think we’ll let our pets get down and dirty. As in down in the dirt, planting some pretty flowers. The seeds in these two packets will attract hummingbirds and butterflies purrfect for chasing er I mean watching them with your pets.

I’ve also included some sassy green gloves to keep your pets hands clean. We wouldn’t want dirt mussing up our beautiful fur coats now would we? Well, when we dain to let them pet us anyway.

Here’s a picture of these fantabulous items:

Win it:

1. Leave a comment on this post telling me if you have a feline owner. Feel free to drop names and expound on how wonderful he or she is in your comment. If you’re comment doesn’t fit this criteria, you won’t be entered in the drawing.

Extra entries:

1. Subscribe to this blog and leave another comment telling me you subscribed for one extra entry. I’ll be hosting more giveaways, so this will let you know when I do.

2. Add my button to your sidebar or links page. If you have my old button, switch it out for this new one. It’s sassier and has the correct url on it. Leave another comment on this post telling me you did this and if I find it on there, you’ll get another entry.

3. Blog about this giveaway and use my button in the post for another chance to win. Leave a comment with the url directly to the post about my giveaway for another entry. I’d love help spreading the word.

You have up to four possible entries, but you have to leave a separate comment for each thing you do so you have the extra entries. I let the random generator pick a number and then I find that number in the comments.

You have until Friday, June 27th to enter. I’ll announce the winners on Saturday, June 28th.

If you haven’t claimed your prize within three days, I’ll have to choose another winner.

Boy have I been busy behind the scenes here on a dash of sassitude. But I have had a lot of fun adding some sassy new things. Here are the new changes:

At the very top of this blog, I now have a random quote that displays above the name of my blog in the header. I’ll be adding more as I go. You can also find all of the quotes listed on the Quotes page. Click on Quotes right under the flowers at the top of the page to read them.

I also added a poll plugin which will allow me to set up polls in both my sidebar and blog posts, so look for those here and there. At the top of my blog, right next to the Quotes page is a page for past polls. There are none right now lol.

One more new page (for now) is the Articles page where you will be able to find the posts that have useful long-term information like reviews, works for me wednesday posts, etc.

Sidebar changes:

I’ve added Feedburner subscription options, so you are no longer limited to Feedblitz. I for one am loving Netvibes.

There is a flickr badge, so you can see my photos if you’d like.

There is also the Top Sassy Commentators which shows who comments the most and links back to their blog! Talk about Linky Love and Comment Love wrapped together. I can’t wait to see who my Top Commentators are - you sassy things!

I now have a community at MyBlogLog, but no one is a member yet and my poor display is void of pictures. I hope you will click the button and help me fill the sad looking thing.

There are other new things on the sidebar, too, so check them out.

Post changes:

Click the heart if you like the post and show me some love. I need the encouragement some days.

Also, you can Share This with whatever social network you like now.

There are some new comment things like being able to edit your comment. I’m sure I’m not the only one that notices the weird typo AFTER I hit post it!

And when you comment, I have a fun anti-spam words that relate to this blog.

I think I’ve mentioned most of the changes that affect you. It’s been a lot of work behind the scenes here, but it will make things easier and more fun I think.
