H is for Horse

So recently I was asked by a fellow FAM member, WYSIWYG, if I could make a horse for her. She was looking for an ornament that she could sell in her other shop, epic farms, for her non for profit equine center she is running. I was more than happy to do something for a good cause. After much brainstorming and talking I finally came up with something. It's not completely finished yet. Here are some of the designs I have come up with.

She also asked me to make a horse simiar to my kitty.

These horse heads will be put on disks like the one above, so the ornament can be personalized.

Fisher Price Playdate

Yea!!! The day has finally arrived. I spend the past few days cleaning the house. Trying to get everything in order for my guests to have fun at my Fisher Price House Party. Now for those of you who have not been to my house, it is 980 square feet and 2 stories. It's on the small side. Now, please keep in mind I have a partially finished basement. The basement is not included in the 980 sq feet. I also have a full attic for storage. Now imagine 8 kids and 11 adults and big toys. I have to say it was fun and went very well. No crying and my daughter was ok with sharing most of the toys...BTW this was because my friend brought her some purses and she carried those around most of the party. The kids were fantastic and it was great to get to talk to my mom friends that I don't see all of the time. Reps from Fisher Price came and were fantastic. They took pictures and video of the party. They were very friendly and a pleasure to have here. They gave all of the kids the Amazing Animals Tug Time Tugboat in addition to the fabulous gifts we were sent already. One of the funniest memories was when my daughter decided to be the cookie monster and pull over the plate of cookies and try to pick all of them up at once (without the plate). I wish I would have had a camera in my hand.

Lots of toys and kids.

Giddie-Up!

First Day of School

Today was Ian's first day of 2nd grade.

He was a bit nervous. We all went outside to get him on the bus this morning. Lily cried when he left. I think she wanted to go with him. At about 1pm she started saying 'Ian' and I told her he was at school and he would be home later. She said 'yeah'. Then we repeated that process for about 15min and she then started to wave at the window....toddlers are so funny and cute.

After Ian got onto the bus this morning I put together my toys (click here to see the post for list of what I received) for the Fisher Price House Party I am having Sunday. Lily was having a ball. I am just worried she isn't going to want to share her new toys on Sunday.

She had so much fun with the boxes...

She had to check out the front of the pony...

She danced while bouncing to the music...

I can't wait for the party on Sunday. Reps from Fisher Price are coming out for about a half an hour to take pictures and video of the party. They are bringing extra toys for my guests. We are going to have tons of fun!
