Valentine Packages Are In The Mail
Posted in Fun Stuff
Well we made it on time! LOL. I wasn't so sure this morning that our Valentine cards were going to make it to the post office on time. The glitter glue was so thick in some spots that it took a little longer than normal for it to dry and I thought that I was going to have to take the heat gun to it to speed it up *grin*.
Now that our Valentine project is completed it's time to jump right into birthday mode! K's birthday is this Friday and I'm still not quite sure what we are doing for his party :) Our homeschool group is meeting at a local bakery in town for a field trip that day and the kids are going to decorate a cake together... a birthday cake for K :) He has no idea that we are doing it and when it is all finished we are going to sing happy birthday to him and have him blow out the candles. He is going to be so surprised!
He also wants to have some of his friends come to the house though as well so I'm thinking that probably the day after will be a good time for a little party since we will be to busy on the actual day and will end up just having a small family party with cake and presents. Then instead of buying another cake I think I'll make some cupcakes and let all of the kids decorate them themselves and K can blow out a couple of candles on his *grin*, that's probably more fun than just getting cake anyways. Nothing like mucking around with icing and sprinkles, right?!
Blessings,

I was worried (still am) that the glue would stick itself to the inside of the envelopes. I love your idea to surprise K for his birthday. That will be a blast.

~About Me~
Hello from Canada! I am a homeschooling mom to 3 very rambunctious children ages 10, 6 & 3 years old while holding down the fort as tug boat captain 'Dad' sails the seven seas *grin*. We're located on 40 acres in a tiny rural community in beautiful British Columbia and this is my quirky journal about our homeschool journey, running my home based business 'RosyUndPosy' making 'Eco Friendly Bags 4 Green Living', and everyday life home on the farm. Hope you enjoy your visit :)

Want to have a peak at what the weather looks like here today? Here's a cam showing the lovely scenic view looking east down Johnstone Strait past Helmcken & Hardwicke Islands.
