weekend fun

Lilja asked if she could have a valentine's party and I was ready to have some artsy fun. So we invited all her besties for a Sunday morning valentine making party. The girls started with decorating their own cupcake, made by lilja and then they made heart cards for their families . 7 girls came over, within two hours, yes I always set a time frame, the girls jumped on lilja's bed, had a pillow fight, took out every toy lilja had, listened to every katy perry song and sang with it on the top of their lungs and must have shut her door 20 times .. wow, are the teenage years already here ? Lilja also had some homework.. she had to chose something that would fit in a zip lock bag times 100! it is their 100rd day of school. Lilja chose the sparkles from our art morning .. it was a looong time counting !!

Done !! Ten times ten is one hundred

Lots of sparkles, letters and photos for the cards . They turned out really cute .

All her real good frieds. Two are missing but this is a very cute sweet group of girls.

Yara and lilja . 

Lilja got a full size bed today.. we are all excited .. especially us as we will not fall of her bed anymore reading stories and lilja because now more big eyed animals can fit on her bed..lilja and I went shopping for new sheets ( the pink comforter she got for xmas and luckily was already a full size ) I was steering her to some turqoise sheets for a matching set with her curtains. But oh no, this little 6 year old has her own interesting taste .. zebra stripes and a black pillow .. is she already a teen?? Usually I can persuade her easily.. but not this time .. plus i felt that this is her room.. and her ideas .. so i let her chose at the end.  When we got home and everything was set up.. lilja said:" See mom,  how cute this looks, it does not always have to match".. oh snap !!
