FHE

An idea for a FHE had been stirring around in my head for weeks. I knew it would take a while, probably longer than a usual FHE, so when the kids had a Monday off of school we decided to do it.

When borrowing Karen's Cricut a while back, I cut each person's name out of colored cardstock. I also gathered a box full of magazines, glue and scissors and then we got to work.

We ripped, snipped and glued anything that we loved or represented us in some way.

My plan was to have a lesson about us being individual and unique children of God, but we ended up just sharing our posters and talking about why we chose what we chose. It was more fun, than spiritual, but still worth the time and effort.

We also noticed that the placement of our pictures kinda matched our personalities as well... random and scattered or lined up and planned out. 

Jason and I shared a posterboard...we had to be creative and edit quite a bit to make everything fit.

I'd like to have a follow up FHE or do something with our posters. Any suggestions?

Next on my list of party details, was getting a poster made. I went through many old photos of Jason, trying to decide which one would best show his "eightiness" and may be even a little embarrassing.

Many of these were too cute.


Any one of these would do!
But this one seemed perfect for the poster!


Gotta love the "Q-tip" hair-do, older-style glasses and white pants.
I had Costco blow it up to poster size 20"x 30". At the party, we put a Sharpie next to it for people to sign.


"Stay Cool Dude!"
