12 Days of Pinterest: Day 5

Day 5: 12/8/12
So today for my "12 Days of Pinterest" post, I decided to combine a several pinterest ideas into one. It certainly was a crafting kind of day at our house!

First, I saw several ideas for some super cute gingerbread houses. Instead on one BIG house, I bough a village that came with 4 smaller houses. This way the kids could each do their own house.

Kaitlyn's is on the left, Brady's on the right

The kids insisted I do one too....
 

I also saw several ideas on pinterest for things to make with leftover candy canes. I found a whole bag full of the mini candy canes in with my Christmas stuff. Not sure how old they are, I thought it would be a good idea to use them for crafting. The kids glued them to construction paper and when they dry we will cut them out and hang them on the tree! They made cute heart ornaments!
 
And finally, I found some super cute sun catcher kits at the store - this really isn't a pinterest pin, but I thought it would go with this post - the kids loved these! I remember trying to do these with Kaitlyn a year or two ago and she made a complete mess out of it...her Christmas tree sun catcher is beautiful! Definitely going on the front window! Brady even enjoyed filling in the spaces with the paint.

Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese!!

Brady decided he wanted to have his birthday party with his friends at Chuck E Cheese. He invited his best buddies from school and we had a great time. He scored tons of tickets in the ticket blaster, had a Star Wars cake and had a great time playing games with all his friends. Here are some highlights from the awesome party!

Today we spent the day at Hollywood Studios. The kids enjoyed seeing all their favorite characters and catching the fun shows. They loved the Toy Story Mania ride. Brady rode the Star Wars ride with Brian and may get to participate in Jedi Training later this week.  Here are some pictures we took while waiting to meet Buzz Lightyear and Woody.  Meeting the Disney Jr. Characters Jake (& the never land pirates) and Sophia the First Wreck it Ralph and Vallenope Monsters, Inc: Mike & Sulley

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning!
