Rainbow and Unicorn Friend Party

Ok... I have to toot my own horn. I've been seeing candy bars everywhere online and I've been dying to do one, so for Olivia's birthday when she asked for a Unicorn party and I turned it into a movie party... what's the best food for a movie? Candy and popcorn... my dream came true.
Menu:
jello popcorn
candy, lots of candy
water- made labels to match the theme
Super cute cake made by my friend Natalie
Unicorn horns (sugar cones dipped in white chocolate)
Rainbow cupcakes... just so I can make rainbows, it was harder then it looks and I'm glad that I had other cake.

Activities:
face painting
pin the horn on the unicorn
decorate your goodie box (rainbow take out boxes)
watched "The Last Unicorn"... a little more weird then I remembered but they watched it
Unicorn bottlecap necklaces






Teacher appreciation gifts....

I saw these and wanted to make them but it just wasn't working out and did you read that I was running around crazy....


so they ended up looking like these.... I'm happy with the result. I bought frames, had some cute scrapbook paper on hand and used my trusty Cricut (love this machine) and here you go... (I did two because Olivia's teacher has been out on maternity leave for the last 6 weeks. Very within my budget : )


How busy are you today?

Olivia turned 6 this week and with school ending also, made for a very busy week for me! Tuesday was her actual birthday and it started with her choice for breakfast and Tomas, Malaki and I had lunch with her at school, she thinks that only Sonic can be brought in, so that is what she requested. I later brought cupcakes to the classroom for her to share with her classmates. We also made little goodie bags for the kids and handed them out as they left the class. After school she opened family presents and she got a scooter. I had picked the Thursday (June 2nd) as her friend party because it was going to be an early day and I figured that kindergarten graduation and class party would be the last day, boy was I wrong... today turned into the busiest day ever! And of course, I was rushing around last minute for the party and making teacher appreciation gifts too boot!
6 things I love about Olivia....
1. Her smile
2. She has the greatest memory
3. She kind and loving to her brother (even when he's not)
4. She is a ray of sunshine
5. She loves animals and everyone... she always finds a friend
6. She loves to cuddle
