Chalk Paint

Bring some color to your driveway and entertain the kids for hours with some rainbow chalk paint.  It's cheep and easy to make and will cleanup itself next time it's rains.   We decided to make a windy road to ride our bikes on.

What we are doing today... Making Recycled Race Cars.

1. Paint a roll of paper towels

2. Punch a hole in a recycled lid.  (This lid was too small. for our car) 
Cut 4 wine corks in half. 

3. Punch hole in side of paper towel tub and push bbq stick through. Add one lid and wine cork on each side.
Cut the stick to make a clean edge

4. Stample the side closed.  You can leave the back side open if you want flames to come out the back. 
5.  Draw you Driver and cut out and glue on the top.
6.  Embelish your car!!!

7. Have fun!

What a Hoot Owl Craft

We have a small obsession with owls at our house, so I was excited to try a new owl craft made out of cardboard, paper and Paint.  It was so simple and fun to make.  It does help to have an example of an owl to look at for this project.  We used a owl stuffed animal from Ms room for our inspiration. 

How to make your own What a Hoot Owl.  

Feel free to ink over (trace) your kids lines with a black Sharpie Pen if some of the paint covers up the orginal lines.

10 on Tuesday

1. So happy to see the sunshine today. Please let spring stay this time. 
2. Had a wonderful time celebrating Alexander's 1st Birthday.  We had two parties, one for family and one for friends.  It was so great to see everyone together for Alex's big day.  I still can not believe I have a 1 year-old little boy.  I can't wait to open his time capsule in April 14, 2028. 
3. I still need to clean up after the parties.  I just found Alex's baby bib in the bath tub from Sunday with cake in it!  Yuck.
4. My mind is onto a kick-off to summer house party in June.  So excited to host an adult party! 
5. Morgan keeps asking me, "where is the Easter Bunny".  She has always loved playing with eggs for some reason and she loves chocolate, so this is her holiday. She is going to be so excited this weekend when she gets her Easter basket. We have a family Easter egg hunt planned for Saturday.  I sure hope it is sunny this year.  It seems like it cold and rainy every year on Easter.  
6. This week Grandma and I are taking the kids to get their picture with the Easter Bunny.  A tradition we have had for 4 years now.   Morgan had screamed and cried every year but we keep going back.  We say, "next year she will like it".  This year we might get a smile but Alex is going to scream. 
7. I'm procrastinating with all my blog posts today because I do not want to clean the kitchen and fold and put clothes away.

An Egg Carton Wreath for Spring

My sister told me about this egg carton project and I fell in love with it.  It's so colorful and bright for spring time.  Who would have thought you could make this out of an egg carton.  I did most of the cutting and Moran helped paint the flowers. It took a few days for drying time but I love how it turned out.
