Wooden Fall Leaves

They are incredibly simple, but they look great with my Thanksgiving decor. 

Wooden Block Pumpkins

I had a great girls' crafting day with my mom, sister and sister-in-law.  I love when we get together and have great conversations while creating cute decor for our homes!!  This time we worked on fall decor.

Turkey Toes and Fingers

Had  a little Turkey fun with Kyla over the weekend:

Colored CTR rings

Kyla's been asking for a white ctr ring....so I finally made a few new colored rings:

Classroom Party Drinks {First Grade}

I signed up to be a room helper for Nathan's class.  I got the privilege of providing the drinks, so we went shopping for some fun drinks and found these cute mini sodas at Walmart.  {I had some other cute ideas, but I let Nathan pick since it was his party}  Nathan decided this is what he wanted and I grabbed some orange and grape sodas.  I was able to fit 24 in this cauldron, making it a fun way to serve them up at the party:

Halloween Classroom Party {3rd Grade}

So I signed up to be room mom {again} for Kyla's class.  Our school tries to have two moms in charge of the parties and 3 helpers.  This year I am working with a terrific mom that loves to party :)   Planning was fun and the class was fantastic!! We decided to have a carnival style party and it worked great.  The kids wondered from activity to activity and had a great time.  Then we stopped for treats and drinks while we tallied the votes for best costume and found the winners of the estimation game.  Here's a look at our party:

Games: Ring Toss, Bean Bag Toss, Pumpkin Bowling, and Build a Skeleton Race

 Contests: Estimating and Best Costume

 *Winners took home the jar of candy. 

*We gave trophies to the top 3 votes (the other room mom found the tombstones at The Dollar Store, I added vinyl "Best Costume" to make them a trophy:

Craft: Spider Webs
*We used paper plates, yarn and spiders to make some spider webs.  I also brought some stamps along so they could stamp the paper plate if they wanted.   It was a little time consuming, but it worked. 

Treats: Chocolate tomb cake with chocolate skeletons. 
*This was assigned out to a helper parent.  We let them pick the treat and bring it.  They went all out and had different color skeletons and sprinkles in those cute tomb cakes!  It was a big hit with the kids!

Drink: Juices
*Assigned out to a mom.  They were little jugs of juice with mini straws.  I didn't get a picture...
