Spring fling

Last weekend we took the kids and my niece Daniella (who Emelia LOVES) to our communities Spring Fling event. Emelia had fun gathering eggs, riding a pony, and playing on the giant inflatable courses. Jude had fun crawling through the grass and meeting Mr & Mrs Bunny. (Emelia would't have anything to do with them) Now Emelia just keeps saying "I wanna pick the eggs and eat the cadies!" Oh and she insisted on wearing the hat.... not sure why.

So here are a few pictures from the day.

Celebrating the Earth Craft



WHAT A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE EARTH DAY. Earth day is April 22nd so we decided to make earth day shirts with friends here at our house. This is a great craft to do on a warm sunny day outside. :)

What you need:
  1. A tee shirt (any color we choose white)
  2. Green Fabric Paint
  3. Brown Fabric paint
  4. a piece of card board
  5. Paint brush
  6. and a happy Kiddo!
First take the card board and place it inside your shirt
Using the brown paint, make a tree trunk on your child's shirt Let it dry.
Then take the green paint and paint your child's hand and press it at the top to make the top of the tree. You can do more than one hand or just use the same hand and make multiple tree tops. One mommy made grass at the bottom of the tree trunk with her son's fingers. And have fun!!


***DON'T FORGET TO HAVE YOUR KIDDOS WEAR THERE SHIRTS ON EARTH DAY APRIL 22nd***
