October was a busy month! We celebrated our dear first boy's 4th birthday which was so much fun. As promised, I have pictures of the Willy Wonka banner that I made. The pictures don't do it justice; it added so much to the party and it was really, very easy to make.
Isn't that just precious! The glitter on the edges really added a special touch!
The cake was really fun to make as well. I just used A LOT of candy. To offset the sweetness of the candy, I used cool whip for the frosting. That is what my mom always used for birthday cakes growing up, and it's still my favorite cake "icing."
That is the SWEETEST smile from a happy 4 year old! (Pun intended!)
Only a week after the Wonka party, it was Halloween. That meant scrambling to buy or make three costumes. Remember the rain boots I painted Spider-Man style? Well, I had another pair of boots that needed to be made into special, adorable, and FUN boots! Lucky for me, my four year wanted to dress up like a cowboy...so...I got to try my hand at painting plain, black rain boots to look like cowboy boots. It was a success and I was SO excited at how easy they were to paint!
Can you believe how cute those turned out?! I may become obsessed with painting rain boots. The boys both love theirs, and I love how easy and cost-efficient it is to do.
Well, now we're into November and the start of the holiday season will be in full swing in just a few short weeks! Of course, here we've been listening to Christmas music for almost a month now. Hey, it's never too early to get into the holiday spirit! It's part of what makes it magical and fun for kids. And now that I am an adult with kids of my own, it's even more fun for me. ;)
Happy start of the Season!
