Finally getting to catch up on some blog posts... lots to come but first, I must post these pics from Alannah's birthday in August. She wanted an ART party... and so we had an all girls Rainbow Themed Art Party/Sleepover!!
First food pics... what's a party without food and favors? We found these perfect polka dotted boxes at walmart and filled them with colorful pens, candy, nail polish, body lotion, lip gloss and water balloons.
A few days beforehand we poured rainbow jello and cut up fruit to make rainbow skewers! YUM!
For our art project we got some fabric paints and stencils and let the girls design their own t-shirts. We used this Project Runway kit http://www.amazon.com/Style-Six-00447-Silk-Screener/dp/B0024IABXM/ref=pd_sim_t_17 and it worked really well. The girls loved it. So much creativity in one room!! LOL!
They worked up an appetite after all that creativity and we had PIZZA!
Hmm... what shall I wish for?? Well... its hard because I have EVERYTHING I could possibly need... maybe a horse? A pony? Hmm... decisions decisions...
Then... onto presents...finally pjs... and they settled down to watch a movie, "Soul Surfer" and then bedtime... I think some sleeping went along with that!
Next morning we did another art project.. ball painting. So much fun. Lots of cool designs.
And then we took some pictures of their t-shirts.
I can't believe she's 12!! Where has the time gone? She's growing up right before my eyes and I can't do a thing to slow it down! Every day is a happy day when Alannah is there, she makes me laugh so much and we have long talks about her day. She's so much fun to hang out with, such a blend of wit and sarcasm.. leads to endless giggles. I hope she doesn't stop wanting to hang out with her mommy!!!
