When my boys caught a glimpse of this party I was told that I HAD to share in on All for the Boys. My 8 year old has been very into Diary of a Wimpy Kid and my very newly 7 year old is just getting into it himself so they were both enthralled with all the photos from this party.
Pen and Pencil is the blog for Hampton Paper Designs and is where this party was first introduced a couple of weeks ago.
Have you heard of Geocaching? It’s sort of like a treasure hunt. Someone hides a container of little “treasures” and logs it on the Geocaching site. You create a free account and choose a site close to you (or whever you want) and you’ll get the GPS coordinates for that site. The Geocaching app for iPhone (I think they have Android too) was pretty easy in folling the coordinates but you can use your smart phone with GPS, or GPS unit if you have one.
I just realized that Independence Day is one week from today! The boys love when I make a deal out of each holiday so I try to do something whether a craft, decoration, or special snack. I was searching for some ideas the other day and thought I’d share some that I found that the boys thought looked interesting.

I should probably do an Etsy Finds Friday again soon, but the boys and I love Fort Friday. It always makes me want to stop what I’m doing and build a fort. Everything is more fun in a fort! I think we’ll build one this week to share at our next Fort Friday.
I had seen a few different tutorials for these before using coffee cans or any cylindrical container really, but when my oldest saw the tutorial in the latest Family Fun magazine I thought that using a container with a lid was a great idea.
I kind of have a love/hate relationship with magazines. I love the images and the visual inspiration but I’m usually lucky to get 1 idea out of each…
Katie Moon over at oohMoon creates the most adorable art. She is generously giving a free download each day for this year. The things she has come up…
I hope your summer is filled with water, experiments, parties, laughter, art, dirt, sand, and lots of boy time! I know ours will be!
I shared tons of pictures yesterday of the actual Harry Potter party but we like to have a fun celebration with our family and close family friends as well. As they’ve gotten older the boys cherish their family SO much, but they are just kids and when their school friends are around, they want to play with their school friends. This gives family a chance to see the birthday boy and him a chance to see them.
Obviously Harry Potter parties are NOT just for boys but this little boy loves Harry Potter and has been planning/making requests for this party for some time now. I hope you’re ready for LOTS of pictures!
