All Things Supercinski

We had a small birthday playdate/lunch with a few of Josiah’s friends this morning. It was a ton of fun, and I am so thankful to have such sweet women and their kids in our lives. It was a little nuts having eight kids, ages three and under (not counting the four in utero), together in our living room and kitchen, but it worked out really well and I don’t remember anyone else’s kids having a major meltdown. As you can see, he loves the birthday song! We only had to sing it once today.

Blowing out the candles was a highlight of his party to him. Don’t tell, but I helped from behind.

I had intended to have an “arts and crafts” themed birthday party, inspired from an article I read in Mothering Magazine several months ago. However, a cold front and the threat of rain squelched my plans for painting on butcher paper along our fence, so we just did a few little crafts inside. As party favors, I made these little aprons for the young artists/bakers. Before anyone thinks I worked hard on these, they were so easy and there may be some errors–I was in a big hurry! Here is the tutorial I used, though shortened for toddlers.
