To Infinity and Beyond!

We have a new 3 year old in the house...who is CRAZY for Toy Story. So it seemed natural to have some sort of treat related to Buzz and Woody for his birthday.

Rocket ship and sheriff badge cookies!!!

For Caden's preschool birthday snack, I sent the rocket cookies and star shaped cantaloupe. So FUN!

Summer Prep

***UPDATE*** Here is the 2011 What Can I Do List***UPDATE***

Logan has 7 days of second grade left...it doesn't seem possible...I'm not ready!!

To help get the ball rolling, I dug up one of my favorite things from last summer, the "What can I do? list" That question makes me crazy!! and Logan knows it...so we brainstormed a go-to list for him to save my sanity and keep him busy.

We also made Logan's summer playlist... a few favorites are still around but the Lego Rockband influence is also obvious. This entertains us on car rides and also gives him some fun music to play in his room when it's time to (don't say the word!) clean ☺
We will Rock you, Kung Fu Fighting, Yellow Submarine, Hello Goodbye, Summer of ;69, Sloop John B, Boom Boom Pow(the clean version), Crocodile Rock, Check Yes Juliet, Dig, In too Deep, A couple Lion King Songs, Time of your life, Tick Tick Boom, The National Anthem, The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

Time to start thinking about this summer...I've started our things to do list based on this awesome list!! I'll share that soon...first thing on the list - Santee Lakes Spray Park with Sonic Strawberry Limeades...can't wait!!!

OH, and down forget to print this out! I'm thinking this will be an AWESOME Thank You card for teachers!!!

Summer is coming! Even if there is a 40% chance of rain!?!

This is such a great list of ideas!! We definitely need a reminder of how to best use our summer, especially come week 8 when we are getting a little tired of the freedom. :)

This Umbrella makes me Happy

So the weather here in So Cal has gone from high 80s awesomeness to mid 50s dreariness over night and I don't like it!! (stomping foot and pouting!) But here is a little something to BRIGHTEN my mood! ENJOY!!!





Gotta love that choreography!!!

Appreciating Teachers and more!

To help honor the AMAZING teachers and staff at Logan and Caden's schools, I put together little treats. I was inspired by this super cute post. I started with these AdOrAbLe cupcake molds and filled them with your basic brownie recipe. So super easy!

Then I put together the stars with fun sign I made for the school secretary and nurse.

The other flower shaped brownies looked like mini bunt cakes when inverted, so I cut a circle about the size of the cake out of paper plate and then wrapped up each cake with the super cute printable from here. I love finding creative people who help me look good!!

The boys also made cards which was totally adorable...and yes, Caden's glitter card was still a little wet 3 days later :) That boy loves glue and glitter!

Easter S'mores

Our family seems to LOVE the idea of Easter Candy but then tends to forget about it almost immediately, so we end up with a decent supply of uneaten candy. Don't misunderstand...my almost 3 year old would probably polish it all off in a single sitting if we let him but the rest of us take a more controlled approach. So what should we do with a big pack of bunny peeps and half of a chocolate bunny....grab some graham crackers and toast some s'mores!!
