A few weekends ago we had a girls weekend in Lake Tahoe for a good friend's baby shower. We planned lots of fun ladybug themed things to do and arts and crafts since the baby-girl-to-be has been nicknamed Ladybug. We took the 2 and under year olds but managed to find time for relaxing mom activities too. The friend who helped plan and I decided a "camp" theme was fitting so we brought back the old school lanyards and friendship bracelets galore - always fun to have an excuse to do arts and crafts but mostly it was a great weekend to celebrate the baby mom to be.

The view - I love Tahoe

Camp Ladybug t-shirts for everyone! even little underwear and boxers for the 2 year olds :) (www.simplycolors.com is the BEST for good quality personalized stuff. I have a 10% off code if you order!)

eerything was ladybugged out

Fiesta dinner and the "itinerary" on chalkboard pages for everyone to keep on schedule :)

Maisie was so into the art projects - she painted six of these canvases and cried when I told her there were none left. We put tape on them in letters or shapes and then after the paint dried we pulled the tape off and it was a 2-year-old work of art :)

more art- making a picture for Anne

We planned to do a big canvas for "Love for Ladybug" and let the kids do it but since Maisie was the only kid into painting and they all turned a little brown (thanks for the tip R- if you leave out one of three primary colors you won't get brown!) so we made it a moms art project after dinner. Wine and glitter mix well :)
