Earth Day 2014

The kids (read: Kenny) didn't appreciate me skipping over the earth day party last year so he kept reminding me every day for two weeks that it was going to be earth day and I needed to make a party for them. I love that he does that. And I love making parties for them, I just sometimes get bored of the same themes year after year. Since Kenny's new room is a map/world theme, I couldn't resist it as the perfect backdrop for an earth day party!

The funnest little party-ers that keep me going all the time
I just love Kenny's room theme!!

This year we added globe and map cookies to the party mix
Einstein's bagels wrapped in maps were a huge hit
That's pure enjoyment right there!

We decided our activity for this year would be painting a bird feeder for our backyard. Ellie has been wanting one for a long time and the kids loved the project.
Yes, that's an extra sterile table cover from the OR one of the nurses pawned off on me that we threw down on the floor...perfect for messy activities!

Earth Day Celebration

It was about time for another party for us, so we had a fun little Earth Day celebration and luncheon after church today with a few friends from our ward. The kids helped me make the decorations all week. Their favorite part was painting the globe (along with the table and their clothes). 

Ellie has been walking around all day singing 'happy birthday' because the whole Earth Day/Birthday thing seems to be a little confusing to her. Either way, she was excited for an excuse to party
The party got two thumbs up from Kenny. I love how much fun he makes our lives.
I may have had a little too much fun planning all the details. Joey was awesome and got all these great shots for me while I was setting the lunch up.
 Kenny was super excited to plant his little cilantro seeds. Call me crazy for setting the kids free with a giant bag of dirt in the house, but our little party got rained out (like everything else this weekend) so we had to hang out inside. We made little eggshell cups to plant the seeds in. It's actually a pretty cool thing I read about online... you can plant the eggshell directly in the ground and it's supposed to dissolve into natural fertilizer.
Ellie was more interested in playing the dirt than anything, but she managed to plant a few seeds!
Time to sit back and wait for some cilantro to grow.
