Lillys Lalaloopsy Birthday Party Decorations

These are some of the decorations I made for Lilly's Lalaloopsy Birthday party. The 1st and 2nd pictures are of the Button Bunting I made. It is two sided so if the wind twirled it you would not see a blank side. I just hot glued the felt together. The 3rd and 4th pictures are of the plates I made. I thought buttons would be super cute, but I could not find any so I punch 4 holes and used plastic lanyard then taped it to the back. The 5th and 6th picture are of flowers I originally made to go on the painting table but it was waaaay to windy. I bought the flowers the colors of "Blossom Flower Pot" doll and daisy are her thing. I used vintage bobbins to hold the flowers wrapped in yard to match. The last picture is of the "L" I hung on the front door. I painted it and glued buttons and crystals on. Every year I save a decoration from the girls birthday party's and put it their room. Lilly has puff tissue balls hanging from the ceilling in her room 3rd birthday, A fairy lanyard from her 4th birthday, and the letter "L" from her 5th. There were alot more decorations but I did not take pictures of them because everything got so busy!!

Have a Great Labor Day Weekend!!

Hope everyone gets to enjoy the last of summer!!

Bike Wash

Made this the other day for the girls and they LOVE it! I cost maybe..$3.00? I used 3/4inch PVC, Two elbows, and 2 "T's". I drilled the holes along the top pipe (Little tip, when you are drilling on the pipe put the "T's" on both ends so it will lay flat, otherwise you have to hold the pipe really tight...its just easier, trust me) then I duck taped everything together.. well because Raley is wild and I figured it would come down the first time she swung herself around it. Also I forgot to get end caps... just didn't think about it.. so I used duck tape for that also. Worked like a charm! They have loved it, even Hamilton the Duck has gone threw it! We made this during our Ocean/Water week. I will put up everything that I do with them for Homeschooling, It just takes awhile to get it all together I have probably 8 or 9..maybe more, units that we have done over the summer! 

DIY Giant Outdoor Building Blocks

Made these for the girls to play with outside! Cut the wood different sizes, painted and sealed them. They have had a blast with them!

Two girls a dog and a duck.

These pictures were from a month or so ago. I just have not had time to get a lot of post done!! With summer getting wrapped  up and school starting soon and doing our Homeschooling its just been super busy!!

Remy could care less if Hamilton is in the pool he will hoop in and splash around... Hamilton does not find it funny.

Remy is the best dog. BEST! Everyone ask what the "Duck Dog" thinks of the duck and does he try to eat him. No He has never tried to eat him. Not once. In fact quite the opposite,You can see in one of the pictures where Hamilton walks up and starts preening on Remy and it kind of weirds Remy out! Now that Hamilton has gotten Full grown, He is about 15 weeks. He chases both dogs around, just like he is one of them. Funny Bird!

Here are some pictures of my loves, this was a day during our Ocean/ Water unit. The bottom pictures are of Raley collecting acorns and Sir Hamilton came over to see what she was doing ( He is so nosey!) and then they were off to collect more with Hamilton squawking the whole way!
