I have an addiction. It's called blog-aholic!! I LOVE to search blogs and I check them out everyday to find new craft ideas. So.. since I'm always finding great things I decided to start sharing them with my fellow bloggers ( those who still look at blogs and haven't abandoned us to facebook). Today I'm starting with Easter since it is only 2 weeks away.

I found this idea today on this blog: Binky Blogs

I made these a few years ago and they are super easy. You could even add sprinkles to give them some Easter bling!! They would be a great treat for school or to add to your Easter egg hunt this year..

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hope your day is LUCKY! The leprechauns visited us this morning and left green gum and suckers and hairbows. We ate Lucky Charms for breakfast so we could feel LUCKY! But we were late for school so not a good start to feeling LUCKY!

One of my St Patricks Day crafts I made. Taken from this blog: minutes to spare: Shamrock Garland

Fishin g with Daddy

Daddy has a love of fishing and wants to share that love with his girls. We went to a pond close by and he let the girls all use a pole. It was sweet to see him show them how and how different they all were.

Bryanna has been fishing with daddy and grandpa kirk before so she was a pro. She wanted to put on her own worm. Gracie was disgusted by it and couldn't even watch.

Gracie was good for about a minute and then had not patience for it. She is definately our girly girl!

Abby's pole outweighed her I think but she was a trooper for a little while. She was happy sitting with mommy on the blanket.

It was a beautiful day and it was nice to be together. I think Derek realized that some of us just aren't made for fishing and that's okay. At least one of his girls will go along!

St Patricks Day Party

St Patricks Day party at our house. We did crafts, had lunch and played like girls do. I forgot to take pictures of Bryanna and her friends but there were 4 of them running around screaming!!

Pots of gold at the end of the rainbow given to each friend.

A rainbow of fruit for part of our lunch. I got the idea from this blog: Someday Crafts: A St. Patty's Day Rainbow of Flavor!

Dr Suess Birthday

We celebrated Dr. Suess's birthday with a small party at our house. We attempted to make Cat in the Hat hats!! Read a story (part of it) watched a Dr. Seuss cartoon and had green eggs and ham. It was fun. Thanks Parker and Hannah for coming.

Valentine Treat

Saw these on one of my fave blogs www.theidearoom.blogspot.com. If you have any leftover mini candy canes or I picked some up a couple weeks ago at Walmart for 50 cents a box. Super easy to make. We're making them for the girls class valentines!
Directions:
Place candy canes in a heart shape on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 5 min. Place sucker stick in bottom and mold candy around it while still warm. Let cool completely and place in bags, tie a ribbon and Ta-Da!!!

Bread Box Makeover

Before

After


So the story with this bread box is: I bought it at a garage sale last summer thinking that would be so cute if I painted it red!! It was only $2 plus the lady said I can have whatever is inside it...a bunch of old spices! Needless to say I threw out the spices and had big plans to paint it. Time went by and it was still sitting in my garage. After two failed attempts to donate it to the goodwill I finally broke down and painted it. I love how it turned out. It sits on my kitchen counter and keeps my.....BREAD fresh!
