Lego Birthday Party

I can hardly believe Will just turned six and this year as you can tell everything was all about Lego.  We had Lego cupcakes, a Lego cake and of course a all boy Lego party with his friends. 

Happy Birthday Will!

Easy Lego Brick Cookies

Will asked me to make Lego Brick cookies as his class snack for his Birthday.  My intentions were to make them from scratch but one day while shopping at Target an idea struck me and I ran with it. (It was two days before his snack day)

Supplies:

Pepperidge Farms Chessman cookies
Wilton cookie icing (Target had a 3 pack with red, white and green.  I added blue food coloring to the white to make blue)
M & M's

Directions:

Flip your Chessman cookies over and outline them with the icing, let sit just briefly.  Next fill in the rest of the icing and then just arrange your M & M's. Next just allow the icing to dry overnight.  I put mine in a cupcake carrier so it would be airtight. 

  Eventually I will make the Lego Brick Cookies from scratch but these were a hit with Will's class and the kids didn't mind that they weren't made from scratch.   The best part is kids can makes these too.

My favorite tote by Bayou Salvage

When I love something I like to share, because I am just that nice.  But I also love when a shop has high quality items, excellent customer service and they are really nice.  The owner of Bayou Salvage has to be the sweetest shop owner ever.  But more on the bag,  The Large Ruffle Denim tote, is large but so comfortable on your shoulder, I put everything in it but the kitchen sink and it isn't even heavy.  It is made of a heavy denim and very durable.   I love ruffles and love how simple these are.  There are two pockets inside too.  You can find it at Bayou Salvage HERE and many other lovely items.  Bayou Salvage also does a lot of charity work so be sure to explore their shop and get to know them.    Happy Shopping friends!
