I thought this was just funny, all of the kids in Cooper's bed. (He has not slept in it yet, I'm thinking maybe Mon night...)
The first thing we did was make firecrackers. Here they are right before we started.
Making them. I saw it in a magazine and it was actually very easy!
The boys holding up the finished product.
Here they are hanging up. They kind of look like scary spiders to me, but at the same time I think they're cute. :)
Ben stayed in Cooper's bed so while I was getting the bed ready, the boys were playing in Cooper's room. They were laughing and laughing, and when I came in, this is what they had done! Taken EVERYTHING out of the dresser. Fun fun.
The snack we had. Very unhealthy but I thought the boys would get a kick out of it. (it's supposed to be a firetruck, the picture in the magazine looked a lot more like a fire truck!)

This is Cooper "decorating"
Here is Ben decorating. Isn't he working so hard to squeeze the frosting??
We had a fun day!

Oh no! So tell me, did you have to wash all of his clothes before you put them back? :)

What a great aunt you are!! I bet the kids love getting together at your house! Good luck Monday night with the big boy bed.
Looks like lots of fun. I like the firecrackers!!
How fun. What a great aunt is right. IT is fun that you plan a craft and make a fun treat. Things they will remember. Good luck with the big boy bed.
You are the most creative person I have ever met. I wished we lived close and I could bring Kaiden on over to do some fun crafts.
Ah, no Allison, I did NOT wash all of his clothes!! :) My mom sure would have though!
Jamie, I wish you lived close too!
Jessica what awesome ideas! I am so impressed with the activities you plan for the kids. How do you get your ideas? Always from magazines?
Yes, I'd say magazines or blogs. The firetruck snack was from I think Better Homes and Gardens-they had a special kids addition wtih all kinds of kids foods that were really cute. Then the firecracker was from Parents mag. The best magazine though is Family Fun, it has TONS of great ideas.
Once again - you are SO creative! Great ideas! I love the firecrackers! Looks like the cousins had a blast together!
