Last Day of Nannying with Claire and Hugo

Eggcellent Easter Weekend

Bunny faces and bunny bracelets

What an amazing long weekend of ballooning and face-paintery! I don't think I have ever seen so many adorable little bunnies hopping around, and I went to the University of Victoria ! I got to invent a bunny bracelet just for this occasion and the kids loved them. I was also able to get out my Mr. Bunny Ears hat, my favorite from when I worked at Just Imagine (so comfy and awesome). All the different balloons were an excellent addition to the festivities, the kids were lined up for puppies, fish, elephants and  one little girl even asked for a tickle monster, which was created by Luke with the use of much skill and imagination. Unfortunately I did not have time to take a very good photo, but I would best describe it to you as being an awesome multi-coloured mishmash of other creatures from the day. Despite our sore fingers, Luke and I are pretty amped about all the balloon making that was had, and has yet to be had.

Adding to the cuteness factor of the day was all the awesome face painting done by Amira, who managed to recreate the rather over complicated templates. It was such a delight to see all the spring colours and designs coming to life on the faces of the wee ones. Now, instead of me yammering on about how much I love bunnies, chickies, duckies, basically any adorable baby animal, flowers, pink, yellow, green, happy people, butterflies, sunshine,  easter eggs, sparkles and other things that warm my heart and pump me up for spring and summer- I will tell you through photos...

Princess Parties and Easter Event!

Need some fun stuff to do over the Easter Long weekend? Come visit us at the Granville Island Kids Market and get your face painted, or pick up a little bunny balloon! We are really excited, and have awesome spring themed outfits planned for the event. We will be there Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Photos to come!

I did my first party with Amira at the beginning of the month and it was a rousing success! All of the little princesses and princes looked amazing, and had a great time bouncing up and down on the bouncey castle.
We also tried out our princess scepter craft for the first time and it looked gorgeous. All the kids were very pleased with their creations.  I couldn't have done it without Amira's crafty expertise, thanks Amira! I look forward to the next one.

I also had the chance to try out my Fairy Princess gown at an event this last Saturday, and I was very please with the outcome! Sadly I didn't have a chance to take a full length photo, but I thought you might enjoy a picture of me in my red wig so I have included one for your viewing pleasure none the less!

Last Week and Weekend at the Kids Market

Holy guacamole! Spring Break is finally over, and what a great two weeks we had at the kids market. Thank you to all the staff at the kids market, we had such a great time. Once again, the pictures speak for themselves, I've also included some from the week. Enjoy!

We also have a new addition to our crew. Welcome Marcel the Dragon! We bought him at the wonderful puppet store on the first floor of the Kids Market where we were face painting on weekends. We had a great time playing with all the different characters but he just stood out. Marcel is a vegetarian dragon who recently moved to Clown Town and made Friends with us Party Kids. He's a pretty cool dude!

That's the end of this blog, I will leave you with a photo of fishy faced Luke at our last day of face painting celebration at the fish and chips place on the seawall next to Granville Island (yum yum yum!).
