Spice Party guest post on Robyn's View

Today I wrote a guest post for Robyn about the Spice Party some friends and I did last month. Hop on over to Robyn's View At Home and check it out!  Thanks Robyn for having me!

Tooth Fairy Tin

Look at this little gem of a project I found on Pinterest: 

Started with this:

And finished with this:

With a small raid of my scrapbooking tub and a quick trip to the craft store for some zebra print paper, Kaiya has a clever little container to put her tooth into when she slips it under her pillow.

I just used clear Tacky Glue and a bit of ribbon around the edge of the container.

And used the scrapbook double sided sticky squares to help the paper adhere to the tin.

This little tin has made things so much easier on the tooth fairy. *wink*

Now I just need to attempt this:  Tooth Fairy Money

Imagination

We moved last month.  And this is what happens when you wait several weeks to hook up the television.  

Yes... that is Kaleb wearing a monkey harness.

Yes... that is both kids wearing Kadence's diapers over their clothes.

Kaiya Grace - Kindergarten

Got this idea from Pinterest and had to start this great "growing up" tradition.

Vacation End

We finished up our vacation by splitting up our drive on the way home.  Stayed overnight on Hilton Head Island, got up & had a sweet breakfast at a cute little place and then took a walk on the beach.  It was a windy morning... but blue sky & sun.

 Of course the little boy doesn't see any problem running into the ocean with his jeans on. :)

And this was our welcome home.  Locked out of our house.  Yay Daddy!!

Family Vacation - Rainforest Cafe

Rainforest Cafe was so fun with the kids... they couldn't decide if all the jungle animals were real or not.

And mom and dad had a bit of fun too...

Such a good one of Tony and his girls.

Sea World

In November, the whole family loaded up in the van and headed down to Orlando for Tony's Maximized Living Seminar.  It had been so long since we took a vacation day, so we built an extra day into our trip to have some fun as a family.  Orlando is known for Disney, but we opted for Sea World instead.  The deal we got was such a savings compared to Disney World, and the kids had both just seen Free Willy on Netflix, so we totally got away with it.

We spent the first day together as a family -- we didn't have to wait in line once!  Then, while Tony was in seminar on Friday, the kids and I went back for Day Two.  Here are a few highlights from Day Two.

 The coolest mom ever asked if the kids could have their pictures with the prince and princess from the dolphin show.  We've talked about that for months now...

Kaleb says these are his Justin Bieber shades.

It's also where we shot this gem of a video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-3f3V21k5U
