Party Thank You's...

We are done with our Thank you cards.
I love doing this part almost as much as the party!
If you paid attention to the invites...they were pajama bottoms, with bunny slippers on. So these are now just the bunny slipper. At least, that is what my thought was. I didn't really think about the fact that Easter is two weeks away....so they just look like bunnies.
Oh well...they still turned out super cute. :)
The cupcakes are little magnetic picture frames, with a picture of each girl with Maky.
They turned out DARLING!!!!

Makylie wrote in each thank you...and then I added a message at the bottom too!

I love her writing!
It makes me smile...
I have always been in awe at what she was able to do...
from age three on....
To think she is JUST 5, and in preschool...
she does things that first graders do...
She literally just told me as I was typing this...that 2+2+2+2+2 is 10.
How does she know that??????

Each girlie will get their thank you, the frame, and then a group shot from the party....then a couple of random pictures of the party as well.
Thank you everyone, for a fun party!

Thank you Erin for all of your help.
Shaundy...thank you for helping too!

Spring Art

We did some art today...
Bright pretty colors, creative juices, smiles.
It widdled away a good hour...
Spring break days starts getting a little bit hairy in the afternoon hours...so finding something for my littles to take their mind off of bickering, and instead focus on interacting and laughing together...
That is my idea of a GOOD day!

We made these "puff paints".
Simply made from one tablespoon flour, one tablespoon salt, and a little water to make a thick creamy "paint". They can be colored how ever you want to color them.

Then use Qtips, and paint your design on thick paper.
Finally, microwave for 30 seconds.

They puff up.

The kids LOVED it!
They had a great time painting away, using every color time and time again.

Their projects turned out so cute!

They were really proud of them.

Truth is, this spring break has actually been nice. Very, very relaxing. Everyone has been a bit under the weather...so we have just been snuggling on the couch, playing board games, coloring, watching shows, doing art.
Sometimes, it is just nice, to do nothing!
It was a fun afternoon with the kids.
