.:Crafts:.

So I think I have everything ready to go for the crafts I'm in charge of.

I bought wood frames today for all the girls. (I'm assuming none of the boys will want to make one!) I'll bring my modge podge. It might be best if everyone brought their own scrapbook paper for their own frame - so you know it's something you want? Or I can just bring some random pieces of scrapbook paper and people can choose. Totally up to you. I'll have some scrapbook flowers and ribbons with me that you can use to embellish your frame. But if you get your paper beforehand, you can also use your cuttlebug to die cut some shapes to use as embellishments. I did that for a few frames I have made. That's something that would have to be done beforehand, unless someone is planning on bringing their cuttlebug. Hopefully that all made sense!

I also bought the glitter for the glitter toes. I'll bring up my bottle of clear nail polish, but if anyone else has any, you might want to bring yours as well.

And, Dani and I talked about making some clippies for the little girls. If you don't have a little girl, you can still make some! I wear Reece's all the time, and I've also started putting stuff on the ends of bobby pins for myself. So if you want to do that, you are welcome to! Maybe just bring your own clips and bobby pins at least. I have some scrapbook flowers to choose from, but if you want anything different like those fabric covered brads or something, you'll need to pick some up. I have lots of rhinestones, so don't worry about those! I have one glue gun, but if someone wants to bring up another one, that would probably be helpful!

It would also be good if more than one person brought up scissors, too! I'm planning on bringing mine.

If anyone wants me to crochet any flowers before hand - for clippies or anything else - let me know! I'd be happy to. The colors I have are: yellow, turquoise, lime green, navy, white, cream, black, hot pink, bright purple, light pink, sage green, and I think that's all!

So there you have it!

Loves,
Sumo

.:Glitter Toes:.

Soooo....here's another idea for the girls to do! Not so much crafty, but something fun to do! Click on glitter toes to see what my friends and I did today. I'll plan on bringing the supplies for it! I can get a pack of glitter that comes with 16 different colors (it even has brown, Mom!) so there will be lots for everyone to choose from.

Sound good?

Meal assignments

Nic and Alli will not be there until Wednesday night fyi! So figure that in your planning.

Night Couple Cleanup Help
Sunday Pstew & Z Summer & Josh
Monday Sumo & Josh Dani & Jefferson
Tuesday Dani & Jefferson Sam & Nikki
Wednesday Sam & Nikki Ben & Sharon
Thursday Al & Nic Pstew & Z
Friday Ben & Sharon Al & Nic

I drew the names out of a hat for the cleanup help! Summer, we could do Kalua pork if you don't want to do another taco dish! It's super easy and served with brown rice and a salad. Just a thought. I don't think two mexican dishes are too much. You could also do pulled pork with bbq sauce. I really think it's all okay.

Well, it's in writing! Now if it would just quit raining. I really can't take much more of it.

More info to come............loves...........mom

the Beginnings....

There are 6 nights and 6 couples. I have assignments made for each night and will post those in a bit. I would like to ask everyone to bring one baked goodie (cookies, etc.) and one bag of candy! We don't want to go hungry eh?

.:Meals, Activities, Etc.:.

Does anyone have ideas of what meals, baked treat, and store bought goodies you are planning to bring up? I thought maybe we should all start putting that out there so that we aren't having repeats!

As of right now, my two meal options (like Dani, I'd be happy to do two nites if we need/want!) are:

- cold sesame noodles with grilled chicken
- pork carnitas (I have a new recipe that we had at my sister in law's the other nite - DELICIOUS!)

I can do whatever for baked goods. I'm assuming Dani will do peanut butter bars, and Sharon will do her Reese's cookies? Those seem to be classic faves!

I 100% agree with board games, card games (okay, I only like one card game - five crowns!) and lots of walks! Good times for sure!

I'd also be happy to put together a cleaning rotation with the meals.

I cannot wait!!!!!
