Snowman Soup

I helped plan a winter party for Little Man's class. As a treat I made packets of snowman hot cocoa. I put a packet of hot chocolate, Hershey 's kisses, marshmallows, and a candy cane to stir it. I attached a poem that I cannot find the link to now.  

I wish I hadn't waited to the last minute and I would have had time to make them a little cuter.

Hawaiian Going Away Party

We had a going away party for a friend that was moving back to Japan. Here are some of the things I made for it. Sushi made out of candy. I used fruit roll ups, Twinkies, Swedish fish, mini powder donuts cut in half, and Swiss roll or din dongs.

 These Hawaiian hair clips made out of Hawaiian hibiscus flowers.

 These cupcakes are made with vanilla and chocolate fish crackers, gummy life saver, fruit roll ups and teddy Graham. I used crushed Graham crackers for the sand.

I saw this pineapple cream cheese dip and had to make it.

I saw these online and a friend made them.  Aren't they cute?

I also made a topiary out of umbrellas and used a thruster s heet that was Hawaiin as a backdrop for a photo booth. I brought leis for everyone to wear and got funny glasses, hats and Hawaiian skirts for the photo booth.(will add photos of these when I find them). Everyone were their Hawaiian attire and had a great time. 

crafting with little man

every time we visit one of our friends he likes to show little man the two birdhouses he made. so this last time, little man kept asking if we could make one too. so i told him we'd buy one for him to paint. so we went over to hobby lobby and he picked one out along with some paint.








he did a really good job. he doesn't like getting dirty so the cleanup was easy. now to just find a place for it in the back yard. maybe next time we'll try building one.
