I would not say I am lazy, but I will stay I do slack off and get distracted real easy, and put things on the back burner at times; which is why its been almost a month since my "last" post. So, I figured I'd catch everyone up on what's going on in my little world :)
In two months and eight days, my daughter will be celebrating her 4th birthday. Seriously??!!! I just can't believe this. Wow! The day after her birthday, she will be having her birthday party at the park. I've never had a real birthday party for my daughter before, besides just family and maybe a friend or two. So, I'm having a hard HARD time with the party list. Right now, there are 12 "children" on the list, but of course, that does NOT mean they will all show. But then I keep thinking of other children I wouldn't mind inviting, but know there's no way I will be able to handle "too many" children :/ , so I will stick to my plan. Then my other issue is FOOD. I want to make sure everyone is fed a little something. Imaginary Cakes will be doing her birthday cake. I'm so exited. It's going to be 24 cupcakes and a small cake on top of a cupcake tower, just for Miss Mimi. I'm just concerned that I won't have enough cupcakes, but I was told not to worry about that, just let the cupcakes be for the kids and such. So we shall see. There will definitely be more food: Maximus Apples, Pie (not sure yet what kind, maybe Apple), fruit (of course), and some other goodies, I just have not thought about it lately. I've been working on the goody items, which will be in glass canisters, so the kiddos can choose what they'd like. I'm working on games, which we will come back to that down the road. And most of all, I've been working on Mimi's Rapunzel hair. Oh how I love it, but NOT too sure Mimi is going to be happy with it. LOL. Anyways, here are just a few pictures to show the progress of Mimi's party :)
The bigger flowers have been removed. Hopefully I will post a finish product soon. Depending on Mimi's attitude, of course.
So, that's the story of Mimi. Now onto Kai, well, he's been busy with school and being a BOY!!!! Lol. He opened up his own little savings account and is happy about making $5 a week. $3 which he's putting towards something he wants, right now towards the Disney cruise trip and $2 in his bank account. Instead of buying two piggy banks, I made them myself. I used two aromatherapy glass bottles from Bath and Body Works. Sprayed painted them with green glitter spray (several coats) and a clear coat purchased from Michael's craft store. Here's a before and after picture:
Someone can be the idea of spray painting a portion of the containers with chalk spray paint, which I thought was an AWESOME idea. I think what I'm going to do is spray paint a piece of wood and mount it to the bottle instead, then Kai can write on it what he's saving up money for, etc.
The kiddos also participated in Dr. Seuss week at school. I thought this was super fun!!!!!
Mix Match Day
Wacky Hat Day
Backwards/Inside Day
Wacky Sock Day
Pajama Day
And since Kai was visiting my mom and brother for a few days, they helped celebrate Dr. Seuss week by making him Green Eggs and Ham :)
Well, that's about all for now. I will come back with more in a few days, I hope. Right now my shoulder is hurting me and I don't know why :/
