My boys had been gone to my parents for the weekend. My daughter is rather bored with out her brothers here to bother. I wanted to take her outside today but it is a little chilly out and I have a rather wicked headache. So I was looking around for a craft today and I found the most cutest Peeking Bunny Craft. I will post how to make it shortly. There are more Easter crafts at the site. Many are very cute!

Last night the kids and I made paper plate shamrocks. I must admit I LOVE how they look. They are giant shamrocks with a hint of gold glitter. This is a great that is good for all ages. My preschooler and my 10 year old both had a blast making them.

For the past few days I have been wanting to get some crafting done for St Patrick’s day. But each day something came up and we didn’t do anything. I am going to try to have some craft ideas over the next couple days.

Today Brittany and I did some marble painting on shamrocks we cut out. She had a lot of fun rolling the marbles around in the pie pan with the paint. I love the effect of the marbles on the paper too.

Last night I wanted to do something fun with Brittany. So we went up in our craft closet and brought down the finger paints. We must have 8 different colors. We got her tray and she handed them to me one by one and we made a little pallet of colors. It was actually really cute watching her go to town on a piece of aluminium foil. At first she was so careful wiping her fingers each time she used a color. Well then it begin to get wiped on her shirt and paints. Let’s hope the stain remover will help get that out of shirt and paints. She had fun in the process so that makes it that much more adorable.  Read more...

This morning my kids were at each others throats. Brittany and I have not really done anything in a week so I decided that since it was cold outside today would be the perfect time to work on a story with some activities. It is winter and well it feels like winter with it being cold at times. We don’t have much snow though. That is something we have been lacking this winter.
