Jackson knows that he gets to start school after his birthday this year and because he knows this little piece of information he asks me every day if today is his birthday. Sometimes he'll even ask me a couple times a day just in case I wasn't sure the first time, I guess. Anyway, he did the same thing last Christmas and the solution at Christmas was an advent calendar. Well, that made me come up with the idea of a birthday advent calendar. I googled the idea and checked Pinterest (of course), but I didn't find anything that wasn't ornate and time consuming. I just wanted something simple so that Jackson could count down the days till his birthday himself. So here's my creation, a cupcake with star stickers as sprinkles. It took me about 5 minutes to make and he's going to LOVE it! I think I'm going to make a fancier-shmancier cupcake and make it a general birthday countdown that we can use over and over again for anyone's birthday, so stay tuned!
Soooo, it's been awhile since I've posted, and by "awhile" I mean a year ago. Oops. I'm so busy during the school year with my own classes that I forget to post in the blog. I'll try to do better, especially for our family that lives far away. The end of this school year was crazy! I felt like I was running in circles working in the PTA- there was so much to do! I thought joining the PTA would be some good volunteer time at the boys' school- I had NO idea just how much time it takes! Next year, I'll be a little more prepared because I know what's coming. And that's not even the crazy part- Jackson has finished elementary and Harrison graduated from pre-k. That's crazy! Where did the time go?! Harrison's graduation was first, so I'll start there. It was soooo sweet and so cute, and I cried like a baby because he IS my baby. This tiny person is such a perfect little caboose for our family. Recently, I've been thin...
Have you seen the giant wilton cupcake pan? It makes a big huge cupcake? (walmart or anywhere that has wilton carries them) Your poster made me think Jackson would love a giant cupcake cake for his birthday, lol! Your birthday advent is a very cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the giant cupcake pans, they are really cute. Unfortunately, Jackson doesn't like any kind of cake. ...or cookie, or brownie, or muffin, or anything else yummy and terrible for you. Crazy kid!
