Birthday Party Fun- Cookie Decorating

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts wordless/wordful wednesday

Cooking decoration

At the birthday party we attended on the weekend the boys got to try out decorating cookies. Both of them had a go and you can see their creations below.

Cookie Decoration These were done by Monkey Boy

cookies by doggie boy Doggie boy’s creations.

You can see that Monkey boy is now much better in art and actually creates pictures with the icing given for decoration. I’m glad that we skipped the idea of sending the boys for any Art Enrichment classes as clearly it is not their most passionate area.

The rest of the time at the party the kids were glued on to the games on the IPADs which were brought along by the kids of the other party guest. I guess these mobile devices really work well as “temporary babysitters” while the adults spend time to catch up with each other.

What do your kids normally do at a birthday party?

Top 10 Highlights of March 2012

Dominique Thoughts Monday Listicles, Top ten tuesday

March was a month which really flew by me. The one week school holidays which was the kids had really threw my scheduling out of the window. I guess that I have the whole of April to recover before the kids go on a 4 week break starting end of May.

March was a bumper month of posting for me as we ran 15 giveaways here on Dominique’s Desk. I guess when I start doing new things here I go all out for it.

Without further ado here is a recap on what was happening here on Dominique’s Desk.

We started off the month celebrating Monkey boy’s 8th birthday at a Japanese restaurant. This year we are having a travel theme hence the Aeroplane cake.
It was time for some confession and I talked about ten things which I am not good at.
We had a great time bringing the kids out to East Coast Park on the weekends.
Tiger girl had a blast on the swing at Pasir Ris Park while the boys went bike riding . She loves having the wind tussle her hair.
Tiger girl started to self feed and is able to use kiddy utensils to feed herself during meal times now. It is less of a hassle for me as now I just need to monitor that she doesn’t make too big a mess during meal times. She is also being schooled into becoming a multilingual toddler.
I was alerted to the atrocities of the meat industries and learned about the junk in our beef.
I gave you ten reasons why you would want to be my kid. The 3 of them really have it GOOD.
It is great being a woman and I am sure many of you ladies will agree with me.
We had two guest blogger on for March who wrote about – Do you have each other’s back? and Learning Spanish
Last of all I wrote about my love for tea and why it is my my chosen drink
