Easter parties for everyone!

Easter parties for everyone!

Today the triplets had their first Easter party at Preschool.   I made cute butterfly snacks that were little goodie bags filled with Fruit Loops with a clothes clip in the middle to make the butterfly.  I also made cute boo boo bunnies made out of white wash cloths.    I boiled a dozen eggs because they were going to decorate and dye eggs today! 

Mrs. Darling had made everyone the most precious Easter baskets.   The kids got a glimpse of Easter bunny tracks that were on the playground!  They thought that was so cool!

I went to Savannah’s class and brought all of her classroom boo boo bunnies.  The kids were thrilled.   I spent some time with Savannah in her classroom today and she enjoyed having me there so much.  I really enjoyed myself too.  I helped her decorate her Easter Bunny art project.

Let’s Talk Halloween Costumes

I received some awesome coupons from Party City and it prompted me to go online and check out their costumes. I went to their store today.  Boy did they have tons of costumes to choose from. I wound up purchasing some “kits” and I am going to be making their costumes and adding the kits. I had some awesome coupons and wound up saving $30 on the costume kits.

My girls are big time into bugs these days…lady bugs, bees, butterflies, centipedes, worms, ants, etc. They originally all asked to be monkeys and then they changed their minds and asked if they could be bugs for Halloween.

This is what they will be:
Savannah will be the Queen Bee
Amanda will be the Butterfly
Miranda will be the Bumble Bee
Maryssa will be the Lady Bug

The outfits will have leotards, tutus, tights, wings, antennas, boa fur on the cuffs and neckline and a puffy ball on their dressy shoes.   I will be doing some sewing and using my creativity to make their costumes.  I priced the pre-made costumes and they are outrageously priced.  So I am going to hand make mine and I think mine are going to be even cuter and 100% better quality.  

The girls saw their costume kits today which consist of the wings and the antennas.  They loved them and are so excited.

So I am stating to cut the 50% off coupons from Joann’s Fabrics and that will be a huge savings for me to do the costumes.  I can’t wait to get started!!
