We had a FAB-ulous time at Nate’s Sponge Bob party, but gosh was it an eating disaster!
They had the whole house set up with Sponge Bob!
Even on the TV –
These goldfish were the demise of my night….
Friends had already gathered by the time I got there – complete with party hats 🙂
And Gilbert was thirsty!!
I started the evening with a Shock Top
And nibbled on appetizers – cheese and Kashis, hummus, carrots, pita chips, goldfish. I did pretty well in the early part of the evening –
And Kelsey’s pimento cheese arrived ….OMG!
We had pizza for dinner – and I made the salad!! Arugula with feta, peppers and walnuts. I had half of two kinds of pizza – one tomato pie and one veggie.
Later on Kelsey gave Nate his birthday present! “Team Romance” shirts for him and Kate.

And Gilbert on the back!
Cutest couple ever!!
I had a little of this delicious beer, but it was 7% alcohol and I didn’t think I should be sipping something so strong so I switched with Matt to a Shocktop instead since……
We played some drinking games!!! (Don’t worry, I only had a few sips 😉 ) But I was pretty good at flip cup!
Kelsey and I shared two different SB cupcakes!
With dessert –
And Gilbert had lots of fun playing ‘scruff’ with Kelsey + Matt!
We played more games, and ended the night snacking over all the appetizers. I ate waaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Esp. pimento cheese and kashi crackers!
AND GOLDFISH!!!!!!!!!!!! Notice how empty the bucket is now?!!? I am stuffed!
But not too stuffed to enjoy this nice chocolate that was in my Sponge Bob Goodie Bag!
Not my healthiest night, but OH SO FUN!
Thanks Kate + Nate for the awesome party
Nite!
Lisa says
How fun! Love the SB theme.
Last time my dad bought a pineapple at the grocery store, this little boy looked at him, wide-eyed, and said “What are you gonna do with Spongebob’s house??!?!”

Its good to splurge every once in awhile 🙂

Hangry Pants says
Oh Kate and Nate are too much fun! I love the Sponge Bob theme, the goldfish bucket and the Team Romance T-Shirts. Are those for sale?
Meredith (Pursuing Balance) says
I love the cute Team Romance shirts and all the party decor! When I’ve played flip cup it was always with diet soda because I am not a big drinker at all!
ari says
lol i love that their names rhyme
Michaela says
Look at you reliving college days…oh drinking games…I became quite the expert at flip cup AND beer pong.

Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
I’m seriously laughing over the SB theme… there was more SB stuff at Nate’s party than was at the 5-year-old’s SB party I was at a few months ago! LOVE IT!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
SO FUN! Love that lil spongebob dahahahahahaha!
yummy treats 😉
Heather says
haha! LOVE the Spongebob theme! I can honestly say that I am certain you don’t have to worry about one night of a few splurges Kath! You are a role model-eater, and one night of enjoying yourself with friends is worth the few extra calories! 😀 Glad to hear you had a great time!
LK- Healthy Delcious says
ha! this is so cute! I love it- what a fun group of friends.
Meghan (Making Love In The Kitchen) says
Things that are good for our spirit are good for our health. Going off the wagon in the spirit of celebration is the best reason in the whole world.
Jenny says

Looks like a fun party! Glad you enjoyed yourself!
Charlie Hills says
I’m currently enjoying the large inflatable SpongeBob perched atop the local Burger King.
Kailey (SnackFace) says
Kath, I never thought I’d see the day–you playing flip cup! Haha I love it! It looks as though you had an awesome night! Snacking your face off every now and then is absolutely necessary to happiness. At least that’s what I tell myself. haha. Loved the recap of the night 🙂
Kath says
zestycook ,
HAHA! Next year maybe we can have you pop out of a cake!?
K
Diana says
Fun times! Nice recap! 🙂
Michelle Hisae says
dont worry about it too much – one night doesnt end all 🙂
Kori (All Things B.) says
Kath- you may have eaten more than normal, but overall what you ate wasn’t too bad nutritionally! You could have eaten a bucket of jelly beans and that would have been a different story! hahaha! What a great idea for a party! Kate is quite the Party planner!
Sarah says
I’m completely cracking up at the grown up spongebob party!! Oh and I LOVE shocktop! It’s impossible to find where I live and I have been craving it since last summer.
Michelle (PinQue) says
I totally felt glutonous (sp?) after we got home and I realized how many of those goldfish I ate!! So of course to counterbalance it I broke into the goody bag as well! Ha, ha!
Mary Jo says
