I can not believe it but it is almost time for the boys to go back to school. I decided to throw a dinosaur party before the Summer was over. It turned out really cute, with awesome food using the Kraft Dips. The children had so much fun and loved it!

Dinosaur Party Decorations

The backdrop is actually two curtains. I thought the colors went well with the theme. For the banner I cut it out of green card stock, then cut the dinosaurs and letters out of orange card stock. I doubled up the tape to make it more 3-d looking.

The files for the banner can be downloaded together in a ZIP file. You have the option to use the silhouette design if you own a silhouette or use the jpg, print and cut yourself. DOWNLOAD

Dinosaur Party Favors

I made dinosaur crayons to give out to all of the kids. I put the crayons in little boxes with some green grass. They work really well with the back to school theme, but would be great as favors for a dinosaur birthday party. Check out my post for a tutorial on how to make DIY Shaped Crayons. My other party favor was “dino repellent”, since every kid loves bubbles!

I was so happy to find the Kraft Dips ready to go at Walmart. They made preparing for this dinosaur party so much easier.

Along with their new packaging they also came out with new Green Onion Dip and Bacon and Cheddar Dip. I can not wait to try these!

I made herbivore cups by putting the dip in the bottom of the cup then adding carrots and celery. The new Kraft Green Onion Dip would be perfect for these.

I also made carnivore sandwiches. I made the sandwich with ham, cheese, and lettuce. Then used the dinosaur cookie cutter to cut the sandwiches.

My favorite food was the pasta raptor salad. It was made with the french onion dip, squash, zucchini and tomatoes. The Kraft Bacon and Cheddar Dip would make a really good pasta salad too. Just add cooked bacon crumble and cheddar cheese right before serving.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
