Princess Mia: Milk carton house

This just looks like a milk carton doesn't it?

I bet you didn't think it was this did you!

One day mummy showed me this craft on another blog and I thought it would be nice to make it sometime. Today we were all home cos we have colds and I thought "Mummy is so busy, so I'll just make it with the girls" and I did.

See how the girl and the food stands up? Do you want to know how I did it?

Look, you just bend a paper clip like this!

I taught Chia how to do it too and now us 3 sisters, Amelie, Chia and I, have our own houses and the girls made their own dolls too. We didn't have cereal boxes so I used milk cartons 'cos we have lots of those.

Chia found these paper scraps when she was sweeping the floor. Do you see what it says?

It's "U"! She found it all by herself!


Tomorrow we're going to play with our houses, and maybe you can make your own too, it's so easy and fun. I used tape 'cos I didn't want to use glue, but you can if you want.
My nose is running so I have to go to sleep now. Bye bye!

Princess Mia: Thanks Nani!

Princess Mia:Tub time!

Little miss Pizza and me in the tub! Oh what fun.

It sure gets squishy with four girls in here!

Mum's post: Happy 8th Birthday Mia!

You've grown up so fast and we're so very proud of you!

Princess Mia: Taiko show

This is my uniform. We all had T-shirts

My teacher, Koyasu, is wearing a white T-shirt.
He is lots of fun and this is his taiko group.
All the taiko people got Obentos. You can see them in the photos.

We waited in this room for hours and hours, here we are playing games with our friends from taiko class.

Daddy with Miss Chubbs

The room next to us was bigger but there were ladies changing in there. They wore traditional Japanese kimono's and wigs, and painted their faces white & lips red for dancing. They were so fancy. Most of them were old but some of them were young.

Show time! The guy up front is Raiki. He's my class mate and he's sooooooo good at taiko that he drums with the older group.

They move so much!

Our turn!

Posing with my taiko friends.

See you!

Princess Mia: Taiko class

This is our last practice before our performance on cultural day. I missed a lot of practices because I was sick or mummy was sick, but I will practice at home so I can go.
It's lots of fun and I made friends with the kids in my class.

Princess Mia: Watch me leapfrog!

Off we go!

How its done:

Chia has a go:

And here's the biggest tires:

Little chubbs watching:

Princess Mia: I'm riding a Unicycle

I'm getting better and better at it!

The Princesses: Paperdolls

A review by Mia & Chia

They're fun, they're beautiful.

There are movie stars, pretty girls, cute little girls, puffy dresses, and they look cute.

I like them cos they're girlie and fun to play with.
I like that you can choose what you want to print out and cut.
Amelie will LOVE the little girls and she will like the big ones too.

PS from mum: Thanks to How about Orange for the link.

If Hollywood starlets aren't your thing, you should still check it out as there are many styles of doll. It seems my girls are all about glamour when it comes to paper dolls. ^-^
Oh yes, be prepared to do a lot of cutting if your kids are under 4.

Mum's post: The Princesses and Hamataro

At the moment Mia looks a bit like Bijou from Hamataro:

Mia has the mumps... and won't allow me to post photos at the moment

P.S. Hamataro craft here
I couldn't help it ;)

Princess Mia: Photos I took of Alisa

Look at my chubbsy-wubbsy sister!

I took these when mummy was changing Alisa.
She is always looking for something to eat.

Goodnight!

Princess Mia: My undokai

Well yes as you can see I now had a undokai in September. I do not think that you can see me but on the 14pic you will see me with my freinds and I am waiting for a big ball that will come on the 18th pic .

Amelie's making a silly face

Chia being silly

We're all doing stretches (while waiting our turn to do Tamaide)

Cheezu!

Big muscles on Uncle Tom!

Lee being a big, funny, fat, silly man!

We're dancing & laughing to the song with Amelie & Aunt Celene.

There you are, Celene, going home and Katie (mummy's second cousin)

My friend Arai-kun.

Watching & waiting our turn (or maybe already done our turn) :)

Waiting for the ball

Here it comes!

There it goes! -What a sad day.

Ahh!! Get it, get it, GET IT!

Good bye!
