Swagbucks!

I'd just like to share about a promotional program that I've had very good luck with. It's called Swagbucks.
You win swagbucks by searching the web, participating in polls and surveys, playing games and completing offers. Every day I earn at least 2 swagbucks by just using the toolbar add-on and participating in the daily poll. They also frequently post Swag Codes which provide bonus swag bucks. I am a pretty passive swagbucks user but I have gotten $10 in Amazon credit since I signed up in July!!

It's time to have a DINO-MITE birthday party!

It's time to start planning for Daniel's birthday again!! This year we are doing a dinosaur theme! 

This is the idea I am most excited about:
Paper Mache Dino Eggs (The Gingerbread Mom)
I plan on either painting them bright, fun colors or doing a layer of colored tissue paper over the white/newspaper.

I also have an awesome Apatosaurus cookie cutter, dinosaur ice cube mold, and some party favors.
I found a really neat idea on pinterest - using the cookie cutter to serve dino shaped ice cream!! 

I am going to keep the cake simpler this year, probably lots of green with some toy dinosaurs on top...
Update 9/13/13: While shopping at Wegmans at 10pm to buy Daniel some water bottles for his lunch box, I found chocolate "rocks"...definitely could be used as a great cake decoration this year!!

I need to make a dinosaur themed name banner for Daniel, because he really likes the one I made for his new baby brother with owls.
