Tick-Tack-Toe

As I am pretty sure that most of my Senior Primary know most of the songs for our Primary presentation, I decided to see how much they know and what I need to help them with.  So this week we are playing tick-tack-toe.  Behind each number is a question about the different songs in the presentation. I will split the primary into 2 teams.  A team gets to pick a number, and you read the question on the card to them.  When they get it right they sing the song and get to replace the number with the X or O.  If they get the question wrong then the other team have a chance to answer it.  I'll let you know how much they enjoy it when  I've done it ~ although games generally go down pretty well....so we'll see.

Stand for the Right

This month for Primary we should be learning a new song for our presentation, but the Primary already know the song, as it was a song from lasts years presentation.  So I decided to do a review for the Junior Primary.  I printed out pictures and some words of the song, cut and laminated them.  I am going to ask them if they can put the words in order.  Simple, but I thought it would also help the new sunbeams that don't know the song.

Burp Cloths

I decided to make these cute burp cloths for the baby.  I was excited because I knew that it would be an easy quick sewing project and since sewing is what I seem to want to do lately, I thought it would be perfect.  I even included Noah, he chose the 4 pieces of material...he was really excited to do so, hence we have Superman, Mickey Mouse, Trains and then one with Giraffe's on.  I did one side flannel and the other side terry cloth.

To make these super cute burp cloths you will need

~ 27" x 10" Flannel cloth (if you're making these for a little girl there are endless of great choices of material.)

~ 27" x 10" Terry Cloth (any colour)

~ Matching thread

~ Pins

~ Iron and Ironing Board

~ Sewing Machine ;)

Instructions

~ Pin together the terry cloth and flannel, right sides together

~ Sew all the way round, leaving a 4"/5" gap

~ Pull the material right side up

~ Iron

~ Hand or machine sew gap together (I used the sewing machine, it was quicker!)

~ Sew a 2" seam around the burp cloth to finish (optional, but I think it completes them!)

Done!

Blue & Gold Banquet - Survivor

It's now time to catch up on my blogging.  These past 2 weeks have been really busy for me and what with Matthias being away and just getting back yesterday, things are practically back to normal!  So what have I been up to you may ask....well for those of you who don't know Matthias is the Cubmaster for our ward and this Tuesday just gone was our Blue & Gold Banquet.  Unfortunately Matthias did miss it, because work had him out of town, but I went up in his absence instead.  I always love working on big projects and so was grateful that I could help out with this one too.
As this months theme was Resourcefulness Matthias decided to go with a survivor theme.  That's when I set off getting creative....

Our invites were in empty water bottles (like a message in a bottle!) The boys thought they awesome!  We even made the paper look old!

Here are some photographs of the evening and the decorations.  If you would like more information on what we did just contact me!

My awesome cake I made and then left at home!  Yes, pregnancy brain strikes again!
