Yesterday was a big day of celebration: two of the kiddos' best friends had birthdays so we shuttled around town partying it up. We all had soooooo much fun and are so grateful to have Julian (age 5) and Livia (age 2) in our lives. Happy Birthday, and lots of love, guys!This photo is of Livia's birthday castle, which her parents made by repurposing cardboard boxes, which they joined with tape and script fasteners before painting the whole structure white. At the party all the guests got to help decorate the castle with paint, glitter, feathers, fuzzy pompoms, felt, stickers, and markers. It was way magical. The whole project was inspired by this post on Filth Wizardry, but I love that Livia's mom and dad really took the idea to the next level for their party. Now Livia has her own playhouse, made with love!
What a wonderful idea! When your papaw owned his furniture store, he would (occasionally) surprise your uncle and me by bringing home a refrigerator or freezer box, put it right in the middle of the living room, cut doors and windows (that would open and close) and your uncle and I would play for days. One of my favorite childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me happy! My grandfather did the same thing for me when I was little at a birthday party, only with refrigerator boxes.
