I hope everyone has had a wonderful week and is ready for Halloween. We finally had our It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown party today. Here are some pictures from our set up. We had a table set for crafts and Bingo. The girls played smash the pumpkins at our balloon pumpkin patch as well as Bingo and relay races. Then there was a popcorn bar to have some popcorn while watching the DVD of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. They had a blast and it was such an easy party to set up and clean up. I gave each girl a brown lunch bag a little more than half filled with popcorn with butter on it.
Tonight we are sharing a fun book by Courtney Sanchez called DIY Box Creations. This box has some great ideas for using large boxes!!
Now I did not have time to try any of the projects (much to Hazel's disappointment). I just brought the large boxes I have been gathering to her school for the Veteran's Day collection for the soldiers. However she has a long wish list from this book. The book has twelve great projects to make.
Now Hazel would love the lemonade stand, the dollhouse, the sailboat, the puppet theater,... Now I made her a primitive cardboard box stove ages ago, but the one in this book is amazing in comparison.
