We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend filled with ball games, wildlife, camping, swimming, and family time. But the best part was that the sun FINALLY came out, and we are finally feeling the warmth of spring.
As for our house, I'm busy preparing for Rigdons birthday party. We are planning a pirate theme per Rigdons request. Last year Mike and I had a scavenger hunt with him for fun. He enjoyed searching for treasure so much, that he wanted an entire party based around a treasure hunt. We have created a large pirate ship to put around his play set, made treasure maps so that EVERY child may go on a hunt for their personal treasure chest. I will be making pirate cake pops, and possibly a pirate face cake. Each child will get a costume that I made for them. Nothing fancy, but they get a stripped shirt, sash, bandanna, and eye patch. They will also get to make a bottle of floating fish and pirates...(water bottle with oil, water, glitter and foam pieces). This will be a party for Rigdon to remember!!!
Mike and I have been busy so busy preparing for the birthday festivities, Rigdon's preschool graduation has snuck up on us. I've made some very ugly, but tasty cake balls for his final day of class tomorrow. He will be graduating this Sunday, and beginning our home school Kindergarten journey in August. I can't believe how quickly it's approaching! I don't have any lesson plans ready yet. Although Abeka did most of the planning for me, I'd like to review it, and have an idea of how we will spend our days.
Well, I'm off to make dinner, and continue to be crafty for his party!
