{Pinterest} Thank you gifts

Aden has his last day of DayCare today. Daddy is going to be a stay-at-home Daddy for a little while.
 He hasn't been keen on going to DC for a while now. I don't think it is matching up to Kindy and he says it is 'boring'. I feel his level of care has been declining the last 6 months so I am happy to have his home where he can learn and grow and bond with Daddy. Daddy is planning all sorts of 'manly' adventures, like bike riding and fishing and exploring. I can't wait to come home from work and hear all about it!


So being totally pinspired by all the great little teacher gifts out there and realising that our income is now less that half what is was, I wanted a cheap cute easy gift for the 15 staff at the centre.

A cute little  paper bag, a small tube of hand cream, a nail file, a chocolate and a cutout of Aden's hand seems to fit the bill. Hopefully the staff will like it.  

The little bags are super easy to make...if a little time comsuming when you are making 15 of them..... I cut down some scrapbooking papers to A4 size and fed them into the printer. They are fairly straight foward to cut out and I used a needle and a ruler to score the fold lines for a neat fold.

And now you need a post about your crafty box of goodies cunningly included in that photo to make us all jealous.
Are they fancy markers and pencils or are they ones you share with Aden?

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
