Hello Kitty Party

A lot of the decorations were bought at Walmart, where they have an awesome selection of Hello Kitty party supplies!

The tooth picks were originally for cupcake toppers, but I decided to do the cookie cake instead. They worked just fine for veggies, fruit, and cheese!

We had raspberry lemonade in pink cups with umbrellas and straws--very girly! I also had bottles of water and Capri Sun Roaring Waters.

This is the Hello Kitty cake, because Kitty makes sugar cookies on every episode. It was a big, yummy hit--and SO easy!!

The lollipop arrangement was popular too. Some snuck a few without their parents looking!

A few more sweet treats

We had Hello Kitty goody bags too! (Caleb had me make superhero bags for the boys, who he did not feel would appreciate such girly favors.)

As far as activities, we had a bean bin, "Kitty Litter" (packing peanuts in a baby pool), Lego Duplos, coloring, and necklace making.

We also had a time for the kids to decorate and fill bags for the kids at the Ronald McDonald House. While it ended up being a little more involved than I originally planned, it got done and the bags look great! The kids at RMH will love it.

I literally JUST realized that I did not bring these HK lanterns, which I painstakingly made. Grr. I will definitely have to figure something out for them.

I think that's about all of the party activities and decorations!

That is incredible! Great job! I have zero creativity, so I'm always in awe with what others do! Your kiddos are very lucky indeed :-)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS. If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan. The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google. My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!! (a combination of all 3 is great too!) :) Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use. At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party! It will take a few posts, so stay with me. I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made. I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag. Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks. I put a round magnet on the back and...voila! A magnet! (note: hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons. Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg. The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture. I used a Lego mold to make the crayons. Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
