Pinktastic

Maggie had a Pinktastic 3rd birthday party!  There were a lot of people at her party!  It was so much fun.  Maggie was such a good girl, but I think she was a little overwhelmed by how many people there were.  Everytime more than a few people came to play with her, she quietly moved away and hid behind me.

She just loved the Pinkalicious theme and got tons of Pink Pink Pink presents! Her favorite part was when we sang Happy Birthday and she FINALLY got to eat one of the pretty cake pops she had been eyeing all morning.

I can't believe my baby is 3!!  Now we just have to work on her sleeping in her own new room all through the night!

Maggie is 3!

I can't believe Mags is 3! We had a great party for her on Saturday with lots of people over. It was so much fun. I was afraid Maggie was going to be a crazy person with the way she was acting in the morning, but as soon as her Grandma showed up, she was perfect (of course!).

We had sandwiches, lots of good green and pink food, including a yummy pink hummus made my Maggie's special Aunt Tonee :)

I'll put up some pictures of the actual party soon, but here are some of Mags winding down and playing with one of her favorite presents.

Almost done!

Now I have the girls' goody bags done! I am so happy! I hope all the girls at Maggie's party love them!

I also made a little DIY cupcake stand. I used a couple plates I found at Hobby Lobby and a little vase. I put a couple beaded necklaces in the vase and hot glued it all together!

A few more things

I should say I have a few things done for Maggie's party. I have a lot to do in the next couple days. I'm hoping I don't lose my mind. I guess (as usual) I went a little overboard with everything. Oh well, you live, you learn right?

So here are some pics of the completed goody bags for the boys. I am almost done with the girls goody bags, so hopefully I have those up tomorrow night.

And yes! I'm posting this at 12:50 am. I told you I was crazy!

Maggie being crazy!

Lately Maggie had been throwing temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way. Its hard not to laugh at these. Here's an example of one from last night.
Maggie "I don't want to sit in this chair."
Chris "Well, you can't sit in that chair, because it's dirty."
Maggie "I won't ever, ever, ever, never, ever, ever, never, ever, ever, never sit there! I don't want to sit anywhere!"

She literally says it that many times. I actually think it was more!! She really knows how 3 year olds are supposed to act!!

Besides Maggie's birthday and party, another exciting event coming up is registering for pre-school on Wednesday!!

More crafts!

Here's a look at some more crafts I am working on for Maggie's party :). I hope her guests like their goodie bags!!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to Maggie and Happy Birthday to Chris! Maggie opened her (3rd) Easter basket this morning. She had a hard time finding it (even though it was right on the table! Lol). She has been playing with her new stuff for hours. Her favorite has been the Grow Capsules (bugs of course).

Finished topiary

Here's the finished topiary. I think. I put pink bead in the bottom, but I have clear ones that I could mix with it. I guess I'm not sure if it's necessary or if I should look for another shade of pink to mix with it too.

Aunt Natalie visits

Aunt Natalie visited Illinois during her spring break. We had a lot of fun, but most fun was bowling! All the kids used the bumpers and this cool ramp- thingy to help them direct their bowling ball.

Project 1 almost done

The top of the topiary is almost done! I just have to get back to one of my favorite craft stores and get some beads to fill the bottom part :). Hopefully I'll have time to do it tomorrow!
