Hello!

Welcome to, The Fun Jar! A long time ago in a galaxy far away...Just kidding it was in Washington state about 6 years ago, I came up with the idea of the Fun Jar. Back then, my eldest daughter was about 5years old, and I had just introduced her baby sister to the world, needless to say I had little or no money to spare on all the "fun" things she wanted to do. So I invented the Fun Jar. Simple little or no cost FUN things for us to do. I drew pictures on tiny pieces of paper detailing the event, not elaborate pictures by any means, stick figures really; just enough of a drawing so that a 5yr old would know what the fun activity would be. There were around 15 of these pieces of paper, folded in half, no peeking! These magnificent masterpieces of stick figure art were then put inside a recycled jelly jar. Presto! Fun papers in a jar and Fun Jar was born. Every Friday it was all she talked about, "can I pick from the Fun Jar", and how could I say no? All it required of me was my time, which I was happy to give. I have decided that my brain is so full of these ideas that the only way to let them out is to put them here, and share with others all the fun I have had, am having, an will continue to have with my girls, not to worry for those who have boys, the fun on this blog can be used by everybody! So take notes, or use the ideas I place in here to 'light' the light bulb above your own head, and spark new ideas, and most of all HAVE FUN!

Your Invited!

Invited to what? Oh nothing...Just the fanciest, most elegant, bestest tea party in the world!! Sounds expensive right? No way, didn't cost me anything but an afternoon; and I cant think of another way I would have wanted to spend it. The kids were busy playing brat dolls and watching TV when I decided we needed some time together. (plainly said, I was the one who got bored this time) So in my best English accent I invited my girls to my beauty shop. This is where I cut and painted their fingers and toe nails, I even put on designs like the spa (its not that hard, you can even do polka dots they don't mind) I then gave each some very nice hairdo's. Oh, and lets not forget make up; but not just any make up, MOMMY's make up, yes, it makes a difference. And then I let them pick out the prettiest dresses, even if they wanted one out of my closet. So now that we were all dressed up, I gave them a time to attend my fabulous tea party. I made regular tea, and I set out small cut pieces of cheese and plain crackers on my fine china plates. I also had sugar and honey available for us. Finally, for the final touch we listened to Beethoven, very elegant indeed! Yes this one is a little girly, but if I did have a boy..it would have been a great opportunity to teach him some chivalry :)
