Creative Wrapping!!!

When I have time and energy I like to try and add a little more personal touch to the presents we give to the children's friends and the children in the family!

Got this pretty paper at the dollar store and thought why not add a flower on top!!! So I searched on the internet 'paper flowers' or 'tissue paper flowers' and found a cute how to make Giant Paper Flowers on youtube! And look how pretty it came out!!! Perfect for a 3 yr. old little girl's birthday present!!! Hope she likes it!!!

As for the boys you can't go wrong w/ SpongeBob!!! Just bought a cheap plain yellow bag and used construction paper, a permanent marker and a red pen!!! It came out so well that it looked like it was store bought!!! Just turned a $1 bag into a $4 bag! I bet you can guess what kind of present is in side!!! Yep, SpongeBob books and a SpongeBob Movie for an Awesome Boy!!!

This one was a little out there!!! Can you tell what we were going for?

We (meaning the kids and I) love the GEICO commercials so for one of the boy's friends we thought we add a stack of money that was: "somebody's watchin' me"!!!

Lol!!!

Did you see it now?

We liked it and so did the friend but it did get destroyed in the unwrapping of the present!!! That's what boys do!!! Lol =)

A Ride Home... And a Cool Train!

Some times it is not the destination it is the RIDE to

(or in our case from) that we have the most fun!!!

We were coming home from an unsuccessful Story Time, Lila spent most of the time at the train table, when.....

Cole noticed a wilted french fry left over from snack yesterday on the floor of the van! Can we say "eewwww"!!!!!

And lets just say thanks to Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cole got the FRY TOUCH,

then Jesse had it, then Me, Cole again, and last but least Lila!!!

LOL =)

And to top it off we were stopped by a train on our short ride home!!!

A lot of people saw the arms go down for the train and started U-turning to head to the bridge down the street (the train goes on the bridge and the cars go under) but having kids in the car you learn that the trains going by (even the long long long boring ones) are Super COOL!!! So we stop and wait to watch the train.....

And we got Super Lucky!!!!

It is not every day in our area that you see MILITARY TANKS go by on a TRAIN!!!!

I have lived her for over 15 years and have never seen a train caring military vehicles go by!!! We see them at the fair or some other event but not on a TRAIN riding through town!!! And a TANK!!!! Can we say "SCORE"!!!

To add to our surprise they had a couple different military vehicles on it!!!

I am so glad my kids have taught me to be patient and we did not U-turn missing this VERY COOL TRAIN!!!

Yumm-E Funnel Cakes!!!

Last week A Thrifty Mom posted a recipe on how to make Funnel Cakes that they had done at the grandparents' house for fun, I looked at all the ingredients and thought "We could do this too!"

So after dinner one night this week we made them!!!

They were super easy and tasty!!!

WE LOVE FUNNEL CAKES!!!

Click here for the recipe: Funnel Cakes

Now we don't have to pay (what was it about $2 for 10 tinny) funnel cake sticks at BK or wait till the fair!!! Kids have already asked if we can do this again on special occasions and my answer was ABSOLUTELY!!!

~Enjoy~
