Today, I made the kids owl sandwiches and we made Harry Potter cupcakes for tomorrow's "Harrathon". We are finishing book 6 tonight, so tomorrow, we are going to watch movies 1-6! The kids are so excited!
Anyway, here are my version of the ideas I got from Pinterest:
Owl Sandwiches
We skipped the cute cucumber and pretzel trees, because neither kid likes cucumbers, and I didn't have any pretzels.
Harry Potter Cupcakes
This first tray was made by the 9 yr. old. There are Arthur Weasley, Tom the Barman, Marcus Flint, Vincent Crabbe, Neville Longbottom, Professor Quirrel, Sirius, Lily Potter, Rookwood, Flitwick, Borgin, Ollivander & Viktor Krum among them.
These next two cupcake photos belong to the 7 yr. old. I'm not sure which is which, but I know there is a Molly Weasley, a Lucius Malfoy, a Hermione, Buckbeak, Bellatrix Lestrange, Voldemort and a Ginny Weasley in there.
These are mine- from top to bottom: Tonks, Luna Lovegood, Madame Pomfrey, Snape, Hagrid, Lee Jordan, Fred & George with the fireworks they set off upon leaving Hogwarts between them, Harry, a Snitch and Ron.

Harry Potter Spell Books. I didn't put them in little photo albums like on Pinterest, but I laminated them and put rings on them. I need to get smaller rings, but I used what I had for now.

I did a couple of the language arts paint chip projects from Pinterest- making contractions and synonyms. It was kind of weird to walk out of Lowe's with that many paint chips, but we did it!

| Hanging bookmarks. Andrew insisted that I needed one of myself. He took the photo of me, and both of them thought it was hilarious that my belly button was showing. |

| Slice potatoes almost all the way through. Put sliced garlic in between some of the slices, drizzle with butter and olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake. Delicious! |

| Pot of gold Rolos at the end of Twizzler rainbow. Happy St. Patrick's Day! |

| Cinnamon roll pancakes. Need to try again because my cinnamon mixture was too runny. The kids liked them, though. |

| Angry Birds snacks. |
Andrew doesn't like Baby Bel cheese, so he got yellow birds made from tortilla chips. I used slices of prune instead of nori, also.

I didn't know whether to put this on the Food Edition or not, so I just put it here. I made Jamie Oliver's flavored water recipes.
The citrus one was yummy and popular, but the strawberry mint one was not that great. I think it would taste better with iced tea. Anyway, I kept forgetting to take pictures today, so here's what's left of a batch of the citrus water:
You my sister are a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI love the owl sandwiches. I couldn't find the trees you were talking about. I have to force myself not to even look at Pinterest. Way too dangerous for me!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your cupcakes, I remembered that I left my blue tray at your house after New Years. It's a great tray. Can I get it back one day? I don't have any other trays. No rush. I can't even remember where I got it.
