This is the pipecleaner firework project that I posted about the other day. I got the idea from Funny Days with Mommy & Maddie, and it was super easy to do. I'd definitely recommend making these outside though since the glitter is inevitably going to go everywhere! The boys dipped the pipecleaner ends in glue and then dipped them into bowls of glitter. We twisted them into firework shapes and strung them up into a mobile.
We made patriotic windsocks with star cutouts, lots more glitter and crepe paper.

My attempt at making cake pops was a mid-range success, I suppose. They looked impressive, which is really the most important part, right?
I guess that maybe my family just isn't all that fond of red velvet cake (I know I'm not!), or maybe that in combination with the fact that the flavor of the Wilton's candy melts is unappealing, but these definitely were more of a visual winner than a tasty treat. A few people said they were good, but most people just kept asking me what they were filled with (smashed red velvet cake mixed with frosting). Sawyer loved them though, and I think he's eaten about five of them in the past 24 hours.

those pops turned out so cute. did you save me one? ha ha.
we didn't hit up the bounce houses cause i was still at work. maybe next year. probably was a good missed attraction considering that we probably would have never been able to get hattie off of them for the fireworks show.
