Celebrating the Boy: One Boy in Particular

We've talked about Stacey about 37 times on our blog already. She's so into Celebrating the Boy that her blog is Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy. And in June, when her third boy arrives, she could just as easily call it... My Three Sons. She has sooooo much boy crafting in her future. And I'm happy to help, since I have girl-craft overload at my house. Pink does occasionally get old.

Stacey's son, C, is celebrating his fourth birthday in March. She had written about a robot-themed party, so I sent along a few things I thought would be fun. I can't be there in person to celebrate, but I'm planning a Skype party so that we can pretend to be there.

These are Haribo candies that I thought would make awesome robot faces on top of cupcakes or cookies. She can probably get them where she lives, but since I already had them and was mailing a package anyway, I figured they might as well go along for the ride. I love that there are sporadic cranky faces in there.

I used Mod Podge to create this screen...

And create a whole pile of blanks for embellishing and applique. Did you notice that the arms are little "4"s?

I embellished one as an example, but am sending the rest blank for Stacey to have some fun with. (Uh, Stacey? I hope you think that's fun and not just annoying that I've sent you some work to do. I was trying to get these in the mail quickly given the mail-room issues you've been having.) I did a few pink ones, because I figured there could be some girl guests at this par-tay.

And, as I can anticipate with any project, my K wanders by and says "is that for ME!?!?"  Ummmm... sure. I don't think C will mind.

There were a few other things in the box, too, but Stacey can decide what she'd like to blog about. Or not. I just can't believe that C is almost 4. And her little S is 1 TODAY! Life moves fast. Happy birthdays, little men!  Do you have any robot-themed party ideas to share? She's got a little time left for crafting!
