Play-Doh Madness!

By -
Play-Doh is definitely the most requested activity in this house!  Play-Doh sweet shoppe for Easter increased the fun and the mess.  After scrubbing play-doh out of the rug for the millionth time, I declared it was an outdoor only activity.  Our patio is now littered with specks of dried up play-doh that in case you are wondering, does not wash away with rain.  That's okay because it isn't in the rug where I have to see it constantly!  Storing it outside in a deck storage box has made it much more convenient because we don't need ten trips in and out of the house to set up and put it away.  Play-Doh makes them very happy and entertains them both for a long time!   It is also a chance for them to be creative on their own level.  
As the leader of Play-Doh games, Sarah Graves generally establishes what we are all going to be working on making.  As the little brother, Charlie tries to take any item Sarah Graves has decided to focus her efforts on!  She doesn't quite get it that he just wants to do everything she does.

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
