Pumpkin Time

The kids have been eager to carve/decorate their pumpkins!  We had the most gorgeous morning for doing this activity outside. Kate and Max enjoyed the whole process of digging out the seeds, drawing faces and carving the pumpkin.  Alex maximized his pumpkin and turned it into three different faces - a pirate, Frankenstein, and a witch.  Anna chose a more complicated, yet mess free project, that turned her pumpkin into a cat!

Bunny Love

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE working on party details with the kids. This bunny theme was near and dear to all our hearts so it was especially fun!  The Pom Pom bunny idea originated from Pinterest.  Mimi had to step in and get us sorted out with the right supplies and tools from Belfast, Maine. Anna took special care of all 21 bunnies by feeding them and loving them all.  It was hard to part with many of them, but her friends adored them as much as she did so it felt special to share them!

Some Bunny Turned 5!

We celebrated Anna's birthday with friends and family at her gymastics gym! Anna decided MONTHS ago she wanted a pink and gold bunny themed party at gymnastics - done! The kids had a blast playing games, doing an obstacles course, jumping on the trampolines, flying into the pit, making a bunny charm bracelet and picking out a homemade bunny to take home.  Anna has some amazing little friends and family who came from near and far to make her feel extra special.  Thank you everyone!
