Kaitlyn's Bday Weekend

Happy 12th birthday Kaitlyn! We had a great weekend celebrating the big 1-2. :)

We started on Thursday night with Tasty pizza and DQ ice cream cake. The girls played video games and each decorated their own canvas bag - lots of cute and creative ideas!

From there some of the girls spent the night and we made no sew fleece blankets to donate to the dogs and cats at the Humane Society. The girls had a great time donating their blankets the following day and seeing that EVERY single cage had a blanket in it. They were happy to know their hard work would pay off for some sweet, little animal.

The girls also went to MagiQuest at the Mall of America and had a fun filled time working their way through clues in a fantasy world filled with wizards, dragons and pixies. Each girl got a want to track their progress on the computers and made their way through the MagiQuest clue book. A neat experience!

A Busy Weekend

This weekend was a busy one! With the great weather we were outside as often as we could be. I took Mila for a bike ride to get her running. We played softball... practiced catching grounders and pop flys to prep for Kaitlyn's softball tryouts Sunday night. Tryouts went well and we'll find out how she did soon. I cleaned up the old holiday spruce tips in the planter and got the front porch ready for spring flowers!

We also went shopping to prep for Kaitlyn's birthday! We got supplies for invites, all kinds of crafts and materials for two fun projects:

1. Making fleece blankets to donate for the dogs and cats at the Humane Society

2. Canvas bags with fabric markers, jewels and goodies for the girls to each make their own, personalized bag

Can't wait for a fun filled birthday...

Enjoy!

each invite was hand crafted to fit each girls personality :)
