Last Game

Tonight is the last night of T-ball.  We have really enjoyed it this summer.

I love the expression on her face.  Pure joy.

Not a lot of action in the outfield. 

Kylee's favorite position was 1st base (even thought this pic is not of 1st base action).

The Many Faces of Krysten

During Krysten's birthday party, Aaron took many, many pictures of Krysten throughout the festivities.  As I was going through all her birthday photos I couldn't help but notice all different facial expressions and wanted to immediately showcase these changing expressions in a scrapbook page. 

Krysten turns 5

Krysten had a Hello Kitty birthday party at McDonald's.  All the kids had a blast!!

 

Knuffle Bunny cupcakes

Over at Inspiration Laboratories they are hosting a Virtual Summer book club.  This month's author was Mo Willems.  After reading some of his books, you are supposed to do an activity based on that book. 

Kylee chose to read several of the Knuffle Bunny books and wanted to bake cupcakes and decorate them to look like Knuffle Bunny.

We dyed the batter and ended up with a greenish color that was really close to the true color.  I was impressed with myself!

We bought several decorating supplies- twizzlers, some other stringy thing and hershey's pieces.

They girls had a blast frosting and decorating their cupcakes.  Although the end product didn't really match the vision in my head- it didn't matter. (I just know that cake decorating is not a good career choice!!)

Summer Reading

I just stumbled across something fun for the summer.  It most definitely appeals to my little reader-bug!  We joined a virtual book club for children. 

I hope that I can actually get the craft project done :)
