For Blake:
Growing up, my dad always had a Nerf basketball hoop hanging in the kitchen. Blake has been into makeshift basketball games lately (Who wouldn't love to chuck a wooden car into a mixing bowl?). I looked at all of the big, plastic toddler b-ball hoops, but they are, well, big and plastic. I thought a Nerf hoop would be the perfect thing for a big empty wall in his room. Except, I think they are kind of ugly, too (yikes, I'm picky!).
Did you know a piece of scrapbook paper is the exact width of a Nerf hoop (that was pure luck)?
I think it is awfully cute!
Total cost: around $6.00, ball included
I already have the 3M strips on the back, so I might try to sneak into his room tomorrow night and stick it to the wall.
Hadley's gift:
For some reason, Hadley's favorite movie is Ratatouille. Perhaps it's because it's one of the first and few that she has ever watched. Blake loves Cars. Cars toys, books, clothes = everywhere you look in Target. Ratatouille= Nowhere to be found. I had to take matters into my own hands.
If you haven't seen the movie, this video will explain what I'm about to show you.
Kids chef hat $4.00 + shipping from amazon. Rat $0.99 from Ikea
I used a scrap of elastic (that I had from a tutu project 3 years ago) to sew a loop for the rat. That way he can be taken out and played with.
I think she'll love it!
