Aprons - Resue/Recyle project

In the coming weeks, one of my kids will have Greek unit at school, where they have to dress up in Greek attire. They have lots of fun during this unit, which also includes participating in Greek Olympics.

Usually kids wear a chiton made out of bedsheets for this. So earlier today was looking for old bedsheets to make a chiton. Which I did start to make with a old bedsheet I found, but then I was also remembering the other times, I have reused or recycled my old bedsheets..:)

One of those times was when I used the bedsheet to make aprons for my little one and her friends. These aprons were perfect for the cooking bday we had for her. I embellished them with fabric yo-yos. You can find the tutorial to make these yo-yos here.

Movie Night

    

We celebrated a birthday few days back with a movie night.  This was the snacks table setup, with home-made brownies and cookies.

Carnival Birthday Party!

 Last year we celebrated all birthdays as family with no guests because of the pandemic.

This year since the schools are also back in-person, we thought of inviting few friends but keeping the guest list small since we are still not over this pandemic yet. 

So here are the pictures from the Carnival Themed Birthday.

Book themed Birthday

This year for her birthday, one of my daughters just wanted more books. So my other kiddo suggested we should throw her a book themed birthday. So that's what we did ..:)

Since we are still in the lockdown pandemic times, it was just us the family celebrating her birthday. We did a little scavenger hunt, watched movies and took it easy that day...:)

Movie Birthday Party

Another movie party to celebrate one of my daughter's b'day. What fun they had just being together. Whenever these girls meet, party or not, they make the gathering fun..:).

Minute-to-win-it Party Games

Few days back, we had a bunch of kids at home. I was looking for ideas to keep them occupied and not be on the screen the whole time. We ended up playing some fun minute to win it games.
I couldn’t take pictures of all the games we did or planned but here are a few.

Paper Rosettes Backdrop

Made this backdrop for a birthday party few days back. Easy decor to set the party. Not only easy but pretty inexpensive too.

Lost Explorer - Escape Room Birthday Party

The Birthday boy wanted an escape room birthday and the room they were escaping was based on being lost in the jungle of Africa, trying to find some treasure. So went with this simple lost explorer theme.

If you have not done the escape room before, it is quiet fun. The kids love finding clues to solve puzzles. Though our group of kids did ask for few hints, it was some great minds at work trying to escape room in time, which they did!

Girl Lego Themed Birthday

We celebrated our daughter's birthday few days back with this adorable Lego themed Birthday party. Lately she has been into Legos. She got that from her brother. I remember those days when he was younger and will play with legos and forget to gather all the pieces after he is done playing with them.And we will find small pieces of lego lying around when we accidentally stepped on those pieces. Those were painful...
So far my daughter has been more careful about her lego pieces and keeps them safe

Mini Pinatas

I thought of posting these mini pinatas that I made for Cinco de Mayo. But as usual, I was late in having the post ready..:(
Oh well, I will be early for next year. But you don't have to wait for Cinco de Mayo to make these pinatas. You can make it for any colorful party that you will be hosting next. Great for either decoration or as party favors. And you can make these in no time at all...:)

Chevron Party

Few days back we had a sleepover party. While deciding on the theme I went back and forth with different themes and for the longest time couldn't decide what to do. Finally I went with this Chevron theme. It came together pretty easily and turned out to be colorful and pretty, just the way I like it..:)

Escape Room Birthday

We recently celebrated a birthday, by going to an Escape Room. I have never been to an escape room, so didn't know what to expect. But I had heard about it. What I knew was only that you need to find hints hidden in the room and solve maybe puzzles and crack a code to escape from a locked room.

Polka Dot Party

I love colorful and cheerful parties and this was such a fun theme for a kid's birthday party.

This time we celebrated the Birthday by going to a jumpie place. We met at the house so that we could all drive together to the jumpie place. After the jump house, we all went out for lunch to a restaurant and then icecream place too..:)
