WIUW: Funfetti Cupcakes

For Today's WIUW, we made simple boxed cupcakes. Haven't actually made any in a while. Sebastian dove right back into the process without missing a beat! He's such an amazing chef.
I topped them with a whipped chocolate frosting.

Here are a few pics of the Process and the end result!
ENJOY!!

Adding the liners and counting along the way. Maybe this is why he can only count to 12?? HAHA

MM Painting Dinosaurs

Today for Masterpiece Monday, Sebastian painted a dinosaur from a paint kit he got for Christmas. (He chose the one he wanted and said the other one was for "Kyler". Skylar was at school so they didn't get to paint together today)

Great all-in-one kits!! These are about $7.99 and very well loved

Sebastian painted the poor guys head like 15X, no joke, haha. I tried everything I could to get him to paint the rest of his body, but he wasn't interested.

Must get the head perfect!

Masterpiece!!

Fun with Toilet Paper Rolls!

I have been saving toilet paper rolls for a little while now, knowing I wanted to craft with them, but haven't gotten around to it. Today I decided I would let the kids make some characters. Sebastian wanted Elmo, and Skylar wanted to make up her own. This craft couldn't be simpler and the kids adored it! We just drew out the body parts on paper, (Skylar added craft stick limbs to hers) and glued them to the painted TP roll. Hope you enjoy!

So cute. Sebastian had Elmo telling me "cheese"

Skylar's Character, but I forget his name!! Oops

Sebastian wanted to play with the cool purple craft sticks as well so he made a frame using them and some scrapbook buttons, lol.

Finished frame!

Christmas Crafts!

Today we did some Christmas Crafts. They were fun and kept the kids entertained for quite a while. I mainly did this to calm down my cranky napless monster, but Skylar got involved and it became loads of fun, which crafts should be!
First up was Sebastian's Hand wreath. I traced his hand once and then used it as a template to create a bunch of hands. Next I taped them in a circle-ish shape. I cut out a purple bow and had him tape it on. Next I rough cutted some red dots and he tapped those on as well. Super cute!
While we did that, Skylar created what she called "Christmas Shadows". I loved this!! Very creative and unique. Can you spot the various shapes she made?
Finally they both made cotton ball snowmen. I cut out Sebastian's eyes, hat, and nose. Then put glue where the body should go and told him to add the cotton to the glue. He did very well at this! I, then added glue to the other pieces and asked him where they went and he added those as well. These monsters are SO creative!! Love them!
Here's a few pics of creating the snowman.

Lunch w/Santa

Today we had lunch with Santa at our community building. I was able to convince
both children to get a picture w/Santa!! Yay
Sebastian told him he wanted a vacuum or a lawnmower, and Skylar said she didn't care what he brought. She just smiled and said "anything is fine". Haha, she's fun.
