Some pictures from your party...
James got overwhelmed and checked out...
The cake was a lemon cake, with lemon curd between the layers and a strawberry buttercreme frosting. It was delish...
And enjoyed by all...
I got some nylon rip-stop strips at The Scrap Box and we tied them around rings to make "wind socks"...
We also planted "magic beans" in peat pots and I found little wooden handled shovels at the *gasp* Target dollar spot for the kids to use and take home. I forgot to take a picture of the planting station, but it looked really cute.
Then we did the play. Mattie was the ticket taker...
He was also in charge of working the light and Joseph was in charge of sound (he played the overture on his violin and the harp for the golden harp part.)
I made these little leaf pillows for the kids to sit on during the show and they got to take them home...
I saw these clouds here on Pinterest, but I can't find the original source so I don't know exactly how this person made theirs, but I made mine buy cutting out three identical cloud shapes from cardstock and sewing them together using four or five big stitches and regular thread. Once I sewed them together, I bent out the pieces to make them 3D...
I hung them on the ugly lamp above our table and also from the ceiling going down to the basement with blue washi tape.
At first I planned on doing a golden egg hunt with some wooden eggs from Palumba that I spray painted gold...
But then after I got the idea to make the wind socks I thought it would be too much, so instead I put them in a basket with a cloth over and then let the kids reach in the basket as they were going home. Some of the kids were completely amazed at what they pulled out. So sweet.
