{2014 MUTUAL THEME PRINTABLES}

**THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED TO ADD 11x14 POSTER SIZES**

I've decided (per the suggestion of a friend) to post some free LDS printables. Word art/Subway art are some of my very most favorite things to create, so I decided to share them with you. I've also recently been called to teach the Sunbeams class (the 3 year olds) at my church. They are absolutely DARLING, and absolutely EXHAUSTING! I will also be posting my lesson helps that I create on occasion here as well.

First up, Young Men/Young Women. These are the youth in our church, ages 12-18, and every year they have a new theme. This year the theme is "Come Unto Christ", so I've made a few printables (all 5x7) that you as leaders can print for you, for them, or for whatever you choose. :)

{AVENGERS BIRTHDAY PARTY}

Back in November, my little guy turned four. FOUR. Gah. Why do they grow up so quickly. I swear his four years has flown by and taken as much time as it did for my oldest to turn four MONTHS. It's just not fair.

If there ever was a super hero fan, this little dude is it.

Oh how I love that face! And all the mischief you see in his eyes…yep, it's 100% genuine. He's the biggest stinker, most crazy, lovable, funny kid you'll ever meet. So how could I not bend to his every request…I'm in trouble when he gets bigger. Can't say no to the kid…just can't do it.

He requested an Avengers birthday party and we planned it for about 2 months. We started out with "HULK SMASH".

I just rounded up a bunch of boxes and wrapped them in brown paper. Then when I ran out of brown paper, I just took them apart and put them back together inside out. Worked like a charm. The boys took turns putting on the hulk hands and smashing/knocking over the boxes. It was definitely the highlight of the party. I think they could have played this the entire time!

Next we broke out the Thor hammer and had a "THOR HAMMER THROW".

We had 2, one that was a foam one, and one hard one. We used the foam one and the boys took turns seeing how far they could throw if down the hall. I've also seen Thor hammers made out of a stick and a kleenex box…just in case you don't have a plethora like we do! LOL!

Then it was time for "PIN THE CHEST PIECE ON IRON MAN" (I honestly don't know what it's called…anyone?)

It's not a birthday party without the traditional "pin something on a poster" game, right? :)

And it definitely would NOT be a super hero party without having to "get the bad guys"! And my guy is OBSESSED with Loki! 

I just found a picture of Loki online and printed out a few, taped them to some gatorade bottles, and let the boys take turns throwing bean bags at them. It was a blast, and I was very surprised at how accurate they all were!! I let them each keep the gatorade they knocked over.

Then it was time for lunch.

Captain America Shield pizzas, Hulk Punch, and Thor Hammers! 

CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD PIZZAS:

Flour Tortillas

Cheese

Pepperoni

Tomato Sauce

Large Circle Cookie Cutter

Small star cookie cutter

Use a large circle cookie cutter and cut circles out of a flour tortilla.

Sprinkle Cheese on top

Use a small star cookie cutter to cut stars out of the middle of the pepperoni

Spoon a thin line of tomato sauce around the edge of the cheese

Bake on 350 until cheese is melted

HULK PUNCH:

Lemon Lime Soda

Green Food Coloring

Lime Sherbet

Drop a couple of drops in the bottom of the cup, fill with lemon lime soda, add a scoop of sherbet.

THOR HAMMERS:

String Cheese or Grapes

Stick Pretzels

Cut each cheese stick into 4 pieces, insert a pretzel into each piece. You could also use grapes for this, but my little man chose cheese.

And then cake and ice cream. We kept the cake simple this year and went the cupcake route! Store bought everything.

I printed out pictures of the super heroes and hot glued them to toothpicks and used those for my toppers. Easy peasy. My kind of cake. :)

And here are all of the cute super heroes:

Aren't they just the cutest?

If we would have had a little more time I was going to play "CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD BLOCK" and have the kids throw sponges at Captain America and he would have to try and block them with his shield. I'm sure they would have had a blast with that one too.

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I will try my best to answer!

{PROJECT LIFE 2014 - WEEK 1}

Okay friends…let's try this again! :) I know I didn't get all of my pages posted on the blog, but I DID FINISH!!! I feel quite accomplished…if we're being completely honest. I am so in love with my Project Life Album I can hardly even stand it! I'm prepping my pages for printing and will be sure to share some photos of the finished/printed book.

Okay, so out with the old, in with the new! Here's to Project Life 2014! If you're on the edge, trying to decide whether or not to take the plunge all I can say is DO IT!!! You won't be sorry you did! Is it a lot of work…you betcha! But I've never been so excited to print an album…EVER!

2014 COVER:
