Bonnie had some of her preschool friends over to celebrate her 4th birthday. I found a fun little idea of having a Ladybug party, and spent the week making things for the party.
One of my last minute ideas was to make a pinata. A special thank to my neighbors. I think I talked to four different people trying to find some newspaper. It was fun to get out and chat a bit. Making the pinata was an adventure, but I was NOT going to give up and I was SO happy with the results.
Another fun game we decided to make was pin the eye on the ladybug. The ladybug looked much like an alien after everyone had a turn, but it was fun. 
We did a ladybug relay. This is me showing the kids what to do. They had to put the body on, add the antennas, put black gloves and black socks on and the crawl to the other end of the room. They got to eat two pieces of candy and crawl back.
Look at all these cute little bugs!
I made a Ladybug cake
And I can not tell you how excited I was to come across this littlest pet shop Ladybug!
OK it was a little sad to see hours of work beat up. It did make me happy that Paul had to beat it pretty hard to get the pinata to break. I guess it was better made than I thought. 
The kids had a great time, and most of us survived. As for the pinata, it did it's job. It was a wonderful decoration and it held candy very well.
I appreciate my husband and his help to keep things moving and cleaning things up as we moved from activity to activity. Good thing we had three kids we are finally getting pretty good at these birthday parties. A little direction from family fun.com and a crazy week putting together projects, but I am very lucky to be home to be able to do these fun things for me kids.

What a cute party idea! I love the pinata. I will have to see if I can talk Maddie into something like that. Camille is too into princesses to be persuaded, but maybe Maddie.
Everything turned out so cute! Lindsay had a great time, thanks for inviting her.
What? I wasn't invited? My invitation must have got lost in the mail. I mean, I know I am a little older then a preschooler, but I enjoy beating a pinata with the rest of them. Everything looks like it was perfect and so much fun. You are such a great mom! So stinkin' cute!
Goodness gracious you are efficient!! Could you just slow down and give the rest of us a chance to catch up?
