Sugar Cube Pyramids!

November's theme is "Your House, My House" and we have been busy building houses of shapes and sizes. For the latest adventure we used our imagination to travel to Egypt where we built sugar cube pyramids.

Although it was a bit sticky even the moms got in on the crafting. The hardest part about this craft was keeping the kids from eating their pyramids before they were built. Pyramids get smaller as they go up so part of the fun was counting along with the number of "bricks" we needed to build each level.

To say these are the sweetest houses ever built is an understatement. The "bricks" are sugar cubes and the "mortar" is homemade icing. The step-by-step instructions of how to create this craft at home with your kids can be found at the momstown arts and crafts blog site.

What an amazing time was had by everyone who came to the momstown Hamilton Annual Boo Bash sponsored by Fisher-Price. The guests were greeted by a fantastic Fisher-Price goody bag and a ballot to enter into the draw for one of the fabulous toys we were kindly given to raffle off!

Thanks to our friends at Mike Kovacs Photography we have wonderful pictures to share, you can check out the whole set on their Facebook page.

There were lions, monkeys, fairy princesses and even a Buzz Lightyear in attendance. We had all of the latest and greatest toys available from Fisher-Price out on display and the kids had so much fun trying them out. It gave our moms lots of ideas for Christmas as everyone got to see which toys their kids preferred without having to spend a dime. Nevertheless I am sure all of us will buy their favourites from the party and on Christmas morning they will all be playing with the boxes!
