FUZZYTOWN ADVENT CALENDAR

When I was a kid, one of our favorite parts of the holiday season was the advent calendar. Our calendar was a beautiful handmade out of felt one by my Aunt Kathy. It was a Christmas tree with numbered pockets below that contained felt ornaments that you would hang on the tree for each day. 

I was thinking about this and wanted to make one for Oskar and Teddy. But there is one problem, I can't sew. So instead I made one out of a small gift box from Urban Outfitters that I glued and taped match boxes inside to create little compartments.

Add some paint, and a trip to Five below to fill it with goodies and knick knacks and we are good to go. Mazel Tov!

TEDDY TURNS THREE

Teddy turned three last week. To celebrate we went to Franklin Square and rode a lion and this weekend we had a party in our backyard complete with a homemade Lion ball game.
It was made out of two lawn bags, one inverted, we cut a hole for the mouth and a little hole in the side on the bottom to retrieve the ping pong balls the kids threw in there. Also a brick to weight the whole thing.

                               But the real hit was the ninja cupcakes that Lydia made.
