Pro--You don't have school!
Con--You don't have school, so mom can't bring in cute cupcakes to class to celebrate with all of your friends...
Solution: Celebrate early!
Sophie's class is mainly kids with May, June & July birthdays, so today we had the June Birthdays Celebration! There are five children with June birthdays in her class, so the moms all got together to divide up the responsibilities for a fun & simple celebration. I was in charge of a little favor for each child. With summer right around the corner, I had the idea to do sidewalk chalk (which was oddly difficult to find!) and little sand pails. I personalized the pails with each child's name. Inside each pail, I put several temporary tattoos & a little bundle of jumbo sidewalk chalk wrapped with a strip of pretty scrapbook paper. For a "sand castle" effect, I made little flags out of bamboo skewers & paper to stick in the middle. I think they turned out really cute.
Everything coordinated so well with all of the bright colors in the table cloths, plates & balloons (on each chair for the birthday girls & boy!) It made for a very festive setting!
Darcy is waiting patiently for the kids to return to the room so we can get the party started!
(She is also considering tasting Sophie's ice cream, but amazingly she refrains!)
Here is Sophie when the kids returned from PE to find the room all decorated!
(Can you tell she's excited? Hint: She's been counting down the days to the June party since last week!)

Darcy & a little friend enjoying some treats of their own at the play kitchen table. Darcy's patience paid off & she got an ice cream & cupcake all of her own!
Happy Birthday to my sweet girl who will be turning 5 all too soon! My how quickly they grow!
And because they grow so quickly...here are a few recent photos of Drew who turned 2 months old last week!

Is that the cutest, snuggliest face or what?
