Transformer Party Favors

My cute niece is turning 6 and can you believe SHE requested a Transformer party?  How cool is that?  Needless to say she gets along splendidly with my boys.   We were able to get more use out of the Rescue Bots Cupcake Toppers,  and this time I made some party favors to add to the Rescue Bot/Transfomer collection on the blog.

After over-hearing every episode of Rescue Bots several times i’m pretty well versed on the subject of transfomers.  So I got the idea of sending the kids home with “energon crystals”.  I really wanted to find rock candy, but had to make do with what I could find at walmart so I settled for ring pops.  … Read the rest

Second Turns 4!

One of our “must-do” events to celebrate every birthday in our family is a photoshoot!  I’m kinda a wanna-be photographer (I go by the rule of the 100s….for every 100 photos I take there is one good one) and I love capturing exactly the way they look at each age.  Let’s be real, it never happens ON their birthday.  But I try really hard to make sure it happens sometime during their birthday month.

We were finally able to do Second’s photoshoot last weekend.  Handsome Hubby gave me a “oh boy whachu got going on in that brain of yours” look when I asked him if he would go make a mud pit for me.  … Read the rest

I know any self-respecting blogger had all of their Halloween stuff posted on like… July 5th?  Call me old-fashioned, I don’t think too much about Halloween until October 1.  Well, I guess that is not totally true, we think about costumes all year (what 6 and 4 year old don’t?), but no Halloween decorations allowed until October 1.

We have a board hanging in our entry way that I like to change up with the seasons and holidays throughout the year.  It was originally intended to be up just for Christmas time to hold all of our Christmas cards.  But then I liked it so much I decided to keep it up.  … Read the rest

Primary Sharing Time Assignment Cards: 2016

primary sharing time assignment cards

One of the highlights of our opening exercises each Sunday is “mail time”.  We have a little mailbox (that really could use a facelift at this point actually) and in it we put the assignments for the following Sunday (you know, opening prayer, scripture, talk etc).  This year we will also be putting in scripture hero clue cards.

Each week at the end of all our opening exercises and right before we transition into singing time, we pick a child who has been reverent to be our “mailman”.  It is quite the honor, and they do not take the responsibility lightly.  … Read the rest

Last year at the conclusion of Oldest’s second soccer season I asked him if he wanted to play again next year.  There was silence in the van on the drive home from his last game.  Finally he said “will I get a trophy?”  “Well, yes, you get a trophy for every season of soccer you play”  More silence.  “Will there be snacks?”  “Um…yes…”.  “Ok then, I guess so.”

So there you have it folks!  … Read the rest
