Harry Potter Mania!

Well tonight We head out to see the movie my daughter has been counting the minutes to see.We got our tickets and now plan on waiting in line for seats!
Wish us luck as tonight is the Premiere.
I must admit I love all things Harry potter...I am crazy I know.I would love to do a Harry Potter party!

How did that happen?

I spoke too soon ....meet Cottontail



She is in the middle.They are all sisters and I decided to keep the family together,my daughter is thrilled!!!

Flopsy and mopsy but no cottontail..phew!

We added new members to our family.I have promised my daughter She could get a bunny for Her birthday and so I contacted the rabbit advocates:rabbitadvocates.org/foster.html
They got back to me right away and within hours we had choices galore!
Great people. So We had to choose from a litter of 10.We did it but it was hard. Here they are,you can tell from their names We are big Beatrix Potter fans.
Mopsy I guess was the runt of the family so of course my future vet wanted Her!

BEACH PARTY

Carnival and Boardwalk ideas for great party fun!!!

Lots of bright colors buckets filled with 'Fish Food'.
(candy fish,popcorn,check mix).The kids loved it!

We also made the kids their own surf boards..cowabunga!

My recent adventures at a beach party included a Coney Island board walk.
It was great fun games included this pin the tail on the monkey that I copied from a Pottery barn website!

None of the items are available any more so I made my own.This is the second party I have used these props!

I also find with so many kids that a prize stand and tickets always works the best,the kids all join in the games more readily and love trading for gifts at the end of the party!
A large array of candy and toys and they stampede!!!

Thank you!

I have to thank Donna @http://partywishesscv.blogspot.com/ for Her wonderful idea that I borrowed.She hosted an ice cream social for Her brownie troop and I loved it sooo much I tried it for my Girl Scout troop. Thanks again Donna!

A party full of sea and sand

Beach blanket Bash






It's going to be a lot of fun,30 preschooler's. I want to make photo op boards if you have any ideas of the best way to start...let me know!

Where did the time go?

Well I can't believe how busy I have been.I just haven't had the time or energy to keep up with blogging.
I think with the end of school in sight all our activities are finishing too!
I have a Girl Scout troop and We all went Camping this weekend.It was great and filled with singing, boating and of course s'mores!
The weather was wonderful!

My daughter also got to experience the Oregon trail which means sewing a bonnet and an apron!
That was hard as I cannot sew, but kids are so forgiving!

I have been keeping up and reading from all my favorite blogger's and it seems like We are all in the same boat!
