Our littlest recently turned two, and it's like a switch was thrown. He has tried every bit of patience I have in my body. But it's ok, he makes up for with his kisses and cuddles, so we'll let him slide this time.
You know those trends you see on Pinterest and you can only hope to be so cool? Well I think I finally managed to "be cool". I had big ideas for Little Man's 2nd birthday. I'm talking arrows and teepees and little craft stations for all the kids. Then I remembered that he's turning two and doesn't really have friends yet (he stays home with me all day). So I backed up and went back to the drawing board. Or as I like to call it, Pinterest.
I came up with foxes. What's cooler than foxes right now? Probably a lot of things but do me a favor and keep them to yourself. I wanted to keep it simple *read: cheap, so I choose two colors and an accent to mainly decorate with. Then I set out to hand make anything I could.

Little Man blew his own candle out and then tore into his gifts. We are very blessed to have so many loving family and friends to surround us.

It's a troop of foxes! I totally googled what a group of foxes was called. |

ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the glass to paint the fox? And what kind of paint did you use?
