Mr. M is 4!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year his party was at the <a href="http://www.txtransportationmuseum.org/index.php">Texas Transportation Museum</a> here in San Antonio, TX. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A small but amazing place for the little ones to explore and imagine what it would be like to be a train conductor and learn about all things Transportation. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Decorations:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made all of the transportation signs out of poster board and craft paint. I added a creative touch by including M's name and age on a few of the signs. The signs were attached to wooden dowels and put into small galvanized buckets filled with rocks to weigh them down. Blue table clothes were accented with red paper confetti, cloth train hats, and bandannas. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe how fast the years fly by. The Cutie Patootie recently turned 7!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year she had a HIP HOP party at her dance studio. The girls loved it and had a blast learning some new moves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of the cute details:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THE INVITATION: As usual, Jane from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/129312189/printable-or-emailable-girls-hip-hop?ref=shop_home_active">BugLuv</a> via Etsy created these adorable custom invitations for us. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THE PARTY: The girls were taught a Hip Hop routine and then performed it to all of us at the end. Pretty impressive for a short class!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THE HIP HOP POPS: These were a fun play on the traditional cupcakes or cake. Cake pops are typically </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quite a process to make, but with a little research I found the easiest and most time efficient way to make them was by using the <a href="http://www.target.com/p/cake-pop-pan-red/-/A-14289720#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=cake+pop+pan">cake pop baking tray made by Nordic Ware </a>. I found it at our local HEB. (Target, Hobby Lobby and Michaels carry it as well.) You can also find the cute cake pop tags at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/129312189/printable-or-emailable-girls-hip-hop?ref=shop_home_active">BugLuv</a>.</div>

We have been truly blessed this year by having an amazing first grade experience for C. Her teacher could not have been better! She is so dedicated and loves each and every one of her students. It has been such a treat working with her and watching her teaching efforts really kick in with C's continued progress in reading and math. As a token of our appreciation I painted Mrs. G this sign. I love the heartfelt quote and I know for the Cutie Patootie this couldn't be more true. <div>

Hi everyone!!!<br />
<br />
Well, I have taken a bit of a break from blogging these past few months and it feels good to be back!<br />
I have been painting away as usual and have a lot of cute new paintings to share with you.<br />
<br />
To start, these 'Little Lions' are new to the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/121649913/little-lions-11x14set-of-3-ready-to-ship">Etsy shop! </a> They are inspired by <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/brady-lion-nursery-bedding-set/?pkey=e%7Cbrady%7C3%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-">Pottery Barn Kids' Brady nursery collection. </a> I LOVE the trendy geo print along side the sweet little lions. The color combination takes a fresh spin on traditional navy by adding a splash of tangerine paired with soft gray. It is one of my favorite PBK beddings at the moment.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have had a big week in our house! C started 1st grade and M had his very first day of school EVER. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He started PreK yesterday and LOVED every minute of it. I knew he would, he has always been so envious of his big sister's adventures in the classroom. He woke up this morning disappointed and upset to find out that he only gets to go to school 2 days a week. :)</div>

When I picked him up yesterday afternoon his two teacher's were giggling so hard when they were telling me what Mr. Mischievous had been up to. Apparently, they found him with a stash of 7 play cell phones and 30 large googly eyes in his nap mat under his body. (His nap mat is located near the craft baskets and imagination station). When I picked him up to give him a hug googly eyes were falling out of his clothes. It was hilarious.... and typical. ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His nap mat is being moved next week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know he will have a GREAT year. He is such a funny, loving, sneaky, and sweet little guy. I love him so. Bless his sweet teachers. </div>

Each year I am amazed at how fast the time goes by. How could the Cutie Patootie be in 1st grade already!? She had an awesome (and early) morning. </div>

I am so excited for what this year will hold for her. C's teacher is amazing... We met her a few nights ago and to ease her students' 1st day jitters she gave them each a tiny bag filled with "magic" confetti to sprinkle under their pillows the night before the first day of school. Attached to the bag was this adorable poem:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The night before school is exciting and fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are always so many things to be done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your clothes are ready, your backpack is too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your classroom is full of fun things you can do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of questions go through your mind,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All types of thoughts of every kind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But sometimes we all get the jitters down deep</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that makes it hard to fall fast asleep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I've made this magic confetti for you,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Full of promises for the whole year through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday night when you lay down your head,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just sprinkle some under your pillow in bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The confetti will help you sleep through the night,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And wake up in the morning fresh and bright.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll sprinkle the confetti under my pillow too</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because I am so super excited to see you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sweet Dreams First Grader!</div>

This set was recently created as a custom order to coordinate with Pottery Barn Kids' Peter Rabbit bedding set. Peter Rabbit is one of my all time favorites. Growing up, my favorite stuffed animal was a Cottontail bunny (red cape and all). So, I was very excited to make these sweet paintings. On a random side note... did you know that Peter Rabbit will be 110 this year?! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
C and M loved mixing the instant pudding, crushing the graham crackers and assembling their parfaits. The only real help they needed from me was toasting the tops of the marshmallows.</div>

This custom order was inspired by <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/catherine-nursery-bedding/?pkey=e%7Ccatherine%7C0%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C1&cm_src=NLASEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-">Pottery Barn Kids' Catherine collection</a>. (which, sadly, is no longer available. The outlets may possibly still carry it. )</div>

I love how it turned out, especially the cute pudgy bunny. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I am not alone when I express the frustration I(we) often face at the dinner table. I have a very picky 3 year old and at times it seems like the only things he will eat are berries and cheese. (which, I must admit, sounds delicious but let's face it is probably not the best or most well rounded meal of choice).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here we are.. on a regular old Monday night... He actually ate his dinner!!!... ALL of it!!!.... Including the broccoli. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
YIIPPPPEEEEE!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How you wonder?.. (see below.)</div>

He thought these plates were hillarious. Fingers crossed that the excitement lasts for a little while.<br />
<br />
My 6 year old also LOVES creating her own mini masterpieces on these plates.<br />
