Planning Birthday Parties

i love it

love. love. love. it. 

and we are getting ready to have another 

the big

"10"

and looking back, this was one of my most favorite

it was rainbow themed

for my youngest who was turning 7

and it was 

a scrapbook party 

we did paper bag scrapbooks

here's how it went

just in case you are curious

cuz it was super easy to put together

i had pre cut patterned paper into squares

nothing measured

(all from the same packet)

just cut different sizes

easy

i also printed words/sayings on white card stock

and cut them out too

again no measuring 

just cutting

so at each spot 

each girl had

paper bag scrapbook pre done (super easy)

scrap, pre cut patterned paper

scissors  

a bag of pictures of them and the bday girl and them with friends

and a glue stick

they put that thing together for over an hour

i also had a little table that some 

embellishments on it

it was so fun to watch the kids create

now on the my oldest

planning 

replanning

creating

it's fun for me

if you have any questions feel free to ask

i would love to help

scrapbook parties are super fun

and each quest goes home with a great project

and i truly believe this could go for 7 year olds

all the way to the teens

off to plan the next on

Look Out Weekends, Here we Come, Because

weekends were made for fun

my hubby has started private pitching lessons

again and we were happy to tag

along this saturday

it was a beautiful day

the shine was shining

we took the coast home

had some ice cream 

and played at the park 

they played on the monkey bars

clearly they could touch

but they didn't care

the played on the swings

and they played tag

they laughed

and laughed

and laughed

and because the weather was SO beautiful

why not turn on the jacuzzi and play

for hours

with buckets

and balls

what a great weekend

enjoying the drive home

playing

hanging

together

hope your weekend was a good one
