Gender Reveal

 Well as you all now I am expecting baby number two who is due April 17.On  a Friday in october we had our ultra sound. which I didn't want to  now the gender right away, so it was a surprise to me and my boyfriend. we all find out the same day as the kids find out. for this reveal I had the ultrasound technician write the gender on a piece of paper and put it in a sealed envelope  so I could drop it off to a family friend who is made  the cake for our reveal dinner and setting up the box of balloons for the kids to open so that we could include the 3 siblings of the new baby coming in our reveal. For this reveal I decided to see what all my friends and family thought it was so we decided to do a poll for family to see what everyone guesses. I also tagged up with Maxwell Designs to do a give away on instagram. For my followers so I posted a picture and had them guess and share what they thought the gender is. So the ones who guessed the right gender were put into a draw to win a reusable snack bag . Here is a picture of the new baby ultra sound

                           The amount of people that thought I am having a boy is 45         .

                                    The amount of people that guessed girl is 26  .

        here are pictures from the reveal party with the family the kids had fun opening the box to see if they were getting a baby brother or sister. the cake even had a hidden clue on it we never noticed.

                                                    It's A Boy!!!

hand and foot turkey paintings

I love to decorate for every holiday! What better to use as decorations then things made by my babies.  Here is one of my favorite ones to make. I have made the single hand turkey two years in a row with Eloise. Each year I will have different size turkey to decorate with around the home. Since Kyler is to little to keep his hand open to paint each finger. We did the hand and foot turkey with him to give out to everyone for thanks giving from him for his first one. This is a cute and super easy fall craft.

What you will need:
 paint (green,red,yellow,orange,brown,white)
canvas or paper 
paint brushes
water
baby wipes(not needed) just I find it easier and quicker to use between colours rather then washing hands.
