Our day started off with house work and schoolwork. Once again, Munchkin did most of her work on her own, so I could get some tasks done around the house. After she was done with her school work, she got dressed and ate some lunch. (Yes, we often stay in our pjs in the morning hours.) After lunch, we headed over to the park for park day with our homeschool group. Munchkin gave one of her friends an invite to her party. (I had already talked to her mom, but she hadn’t received an actual invite yet.) It was nice…

11th Birthday Preparations: Part 2

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

Today was filled with more cleaning and birthday preparations. While I worked, Munchkin did her school work and then worked on her car for the Awana Grand Prix. The Grand Prix was tonight. There were several technical difficulties (and difficulties in how the rules were enforced), but the kids ultimately had lots of fun even with the craziness. It was priceless watching all of their excited faces as the cars raced down the track. Back to the party prep… When I was at the dollar store, I found these travel mugs that you can personalize. I knew these would make…

It’s hard to believe that by the beginning of next week our little Munchkin will be 11. I’m not sure how that happened. She’s still our little girl, but she’s growing up… Munchkin hasn’t had a birthday party with friends for quite some time, so we decided that this year she would get to have a birthday party. When we were at the thrift store several months back, we found an American Girl Mystery party game. We knew that we would use that for Munchkin’s birthday party. Since there were only so many parts for the mystery party skit, it…

WFMW: Handcrafted Personalized Gift Boxes

Posted in Homemaking

When Munchkin found out that a young friend of hers was going to have a birthday, she thought about what would be a cool gift for him. She decided to make him something out of polymer clay. She ended up making a truck and a shark, but she didn’t have the perfect container to put her gifts in. We found some small empty boxes and pulled out the scrapbook paper. After we took apart the boxes, she picked out paper that would go with the gifts, and we carefully traced the box shape onto the paper. We taped the paper…
