a fully wonderful day

Usually, on Sunday I post a kids' craft tute of whatever craft we managed to create, but today was so full that we didn't have time for our usual Sunday kids' craft.  We started making a Little House on the Prairie cabin birthday cake.  It's going to be a bit ambitious for me.  My soon-to-be five year old wants a costume party with a Little House on the Prairie cake.  This may be the most eclectic birthday party ever.  A few months ago I managed to make a dog house cake, so I'm hoping to use a similar process for the cabin.  First step . . . make a 5 x 9 cake and a 8 x 8 cake . . . done and in the freezer.  Both girls helped add ingredients and stir without complete chaos breaking loose . . . I consider this an incredible success!

We did pull out the craft supplies so we could make a few birthday party invitations.  This is the point that the birthday party plans got even more eclectic.  As we began crafting the invitations, my daughter said, "I want a 'costume-Little-House-on-the-Prairie-cake-tea-party' party."  Hmmm . . . I have three days to figure out what a party that involves people dressing in costumes, eating a Little House on the Prairie cabin cake and drinking tea looks like.  Any ideas?

So . . . no Sunday kids' craft tonight, but we had a day full of creating . . . a fully wonderful day!

Craft on!
