Birthday Scrapbook

I ran across this cute idea for documenting each year of your child's life. I wish I had seen it sooner but am going to try to keep it up with Clyde and Camille as they get older. I use Picasa to edit my photos and they have an add text feature so I quickly typed right on the photo. Then I had it printed as an 8 x 10 at Walgreens and am now on the lookout for a book to store them in. It was super easy to create and fun to think of all the things that interest my 3 year old.

Sweet Camille loves to draw

Camille's preschool organized a spring program last week for 4 and 5 year olds. The group sang 10 songs and many of them had sign language or Spanish incorporated. It was impressive to hear and see all that they had learned. There was also an art show afterwards in the hallways of the school. Here is Camille with her family portrait. It goes without saying that we are very proud.
Read about her other artwork here, here and here.

Spiderman Party

I can't believe it but Clyde turned 3 last Tuesday. We planned a Spiderman party in the park. Unfortunately, threat of severe thunderstorms forced a change of venue so we hosted at our house. Side note...it never rained but of course if we had moved forward at the park we would have had the hail the weatherman predicted.

I designed this invitation in Publisher and printed on card stock to mail to our guests. We decided to include family only because Clyde's best friends are his cousins, Sammy and Winters, so I didn't need too many invites and it was easy enough to print from our home computer.

I was planning on a picnic dinner at the park so I personalized a bag for every guest. We grilled hot dogs and the adult's bags contained a bottled water, hot dog bun, pasta salad, chips, fork and Spiderman napkin. The kid's bags contained a Spiderman Tummy Tickler, chips, fork, napkin and cut strawberries.

I also created these labels in Publisher and printed at home. 

Cupcake inspiration was found on Pinterest and I used a local baker to create. I think she did a great job!

Inspiration Photo

  I bought my shirt for $7 from Walmart in the boys section and ordered Clyde's on etsy.com. I made Camille's skirt from Spiderman fabric and added a polka dot ruffle for a girly touch.

 

Pinata are always a hit and ours was from Party City!

 

 Goodie bags included a Spiderman paint set, puzzles and candy from the Dollar Tree. I also made a personalized coloring page.

I found these cute spiderman masks at Joann Fabrics and we used as a coloring activity at the party.

  The spider was a Halloween decoration that I pulled down from the attic.

It was a fun party...still can't believe he is 3! 

Life

Life has been busy. We have been eating dinner but I haven't had a moment to sit down and type up the menu planner. I will get back in the swing of things soon. Here are some cute and funny moments from our past couple weeks....

Princess Camille & Clyde...yes that is a toy gun in Clyde's hand.

Okay...still all boy even in gown and princess shoes.

Mother's Day Lunch at the Boathouse at Rocketts Landing

Have to run...Camille just informed me that Clyde pooped on the floor. That is really what I have been up to the past few weeks. I would not say we have potty training mastered quite yet.
