SO we had another Mustache Monday today. In addition to painting mustaches on our kids during the night, we made these tootsie roll mustaches as a family this evening. FuN and SiLLiNeSs! If you want to make some with your lovelies, watch this video to find out how. Have fun! (click on any of these images to view larger..)
My husband is so awesome. The orders for Valentine Boxes this year were: The Empire State Building, a vending machine, and a wedding cake. The wedding cake was easy because we had made one last year. But the other two seemed a bit more challenging. Luckily, my husband stepped in to help and created The Empire State Building:
and the vending machine:
Our kids had so much fun creating these little masterpieces with him. And not to forget, the wedding cake:
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I had two girls home sick from school yesterday, so we decided to make these little valentine wreaths for their rooms. I folded two paper plates in half and cut a heart out of the center of each one. Then we cut out several shapes and sizes of hearts from red and pink cardstock. We then glued the hearts to the paper plates, added some bling and some hanging ribbon on the back and VOILA!
My awesome sister, Jessica, gave me this great idea. The kids loved designing their own “turkeys” with apples, marshmallows, froot loops, gumdrops, raisins, and candy corns. It’s so fun to see how they all turn out so different:
I found this awesome idea today from The Idea Room and I was so excited to try it out with my kids. Instead of making normal size breads, we made mini-cornucopia loaves so the kids could participate.
After they came out of the oven, we stuffed them with butter, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, etc. It was so much fun!
My daughter wanted a camping party for her birthday this year. Her birthday is close to Halloween, so we added a few Halloween details. The guests were welcomed by a “camping buffet” which consisted of hot dogs, of course, and other meal items. They took their plates out to the big tent my husband so kindly set up in the backyard. When finished with the meal, they made “mini-s’mores”: Roast one mini-marshmallow on a toothpick over a candle. Place roasted marshmallow between two Golden Grahams cereal squares and add a chocolate chip. They really enjoyed that part! Soon it was time for the birthday girl to blow out her candles on her giant s’more cake. Then it was back to the tent for hot cocoa and a movie: Wallace and Grommit’s The Wrong Trousers. A microwave s’more kit was given to each as a party favor. What fun! (click on any of the images to view larger.)
For my daughter’s 7th birthday, we had a rainbow party. It was so much fun! We had the guests pop “white clouds” (balloons) to make the rain and rainbows come. We strung froot loop neckaces and ate rainbow sherbet with rainbow cupcakes. (click on any of the images to view larger.)
