Don't underestimate the ability of a former 2nd grade teacher to pull off some crafty projects with her own kids these days. Yesterday afternoon, we had fun with some clear glass ornaments and acrylic paint, squirting various Christmas colors inside and then rolling them around on newspaper to coat the insides with stripes and swirls. Good grandparent Christmas presents, no? We had fun doing it.
This afternoon, I used all my little-kid-party-throwing experience to host a short-but-sweet neighborhood cookie party. The theme was pink and blue, as in, "Will Miss Heidi's baby be a boy or a girl?" The kids frosted and decorated their cookies with pink and blue toppings, the mommies drank champage or coffee, and Miss Heidi revealed that Jonathan will be having a brother in April. We're so excited for them! And tired, after having the whole neighborhood inside our house for just an hour. (I'll be vacuuming up little pink and blue sprinkles for a few days, I think.)
