A EGGstra Special Wreath...

I wanted an Easter Egg wreath this year but couldn't find one that I liked. So I decided to make my own. I gathered materials from the Dollar Tree
Wrapped this ribbon around the ring while hot gluing it.
My fingers were burned many times during this process.
Hot glued each egg one by one and then added some ribbon. I wish you could see how the eggs sparkle. It turned out very cute and my fingers will heal soon =)

Happy Green Day!

It's here. Our family LOVES St. Patty's Day. Everyone is wearing green today so no pinching will be taking place here. When I took my son to school today I couldn't help but laugh as the kids in his class watched every person walk through the door to make sure they were wearing green. My boys even wore green pj's last night so they wouldn't get pinched n their sleep. =) For dinner tonight we will be eating some yummy green pancakes. We hope you all have a wonderful GREEN day too.

What Happens When You Pee In A Cup...

It's hard enough to pee in a cup at the doctors office, but even worse when you are six. We had to take our son to see his doctor because he has been having bladder problems. When asked to go in and pee in the cup he refused. I told him that he had to and that he would be fine. I wasn't even thinking that he had never done it before. I guess I just assumed he would know what to do. After a few minutes had passed the nurse told me she would hold my baby if I wanted to go in and help him. To my surprise he was trying to pee into the cup in the MIDDLE of the bathroom floor. The cup had to be cutting off circulation on his Manley parts. Then he wasn't even trying to pee over the toilet and had barely pulled down his pants. THANKFULLY he had a hard time going and he didn't pee all over their floor and his clothes. Now I know to stop and think through every unusual task my kids are asked to do. That way we won't have anymore episodes.

Playing house...

I love these pictures. I walked into the living room this week and found Aubrey sitting and playing with her Little People House all by herself. She looked so sweet just sitting there. All of the people kept getting stacked on the roof and then she would pull all them down and line them up on the ground. One by one they would all make their way back up to the roof. I just love having girl toys around the house now!

Burlap-Clover Door Hanging...

I wanted to come up with something for St. Patricks day for our door. Around our little town there isn't a lot of places to go for decorations for small holidays. So I dug out my Reynolds foil hearts (from the local Dollar Tree) and started by spray painting them green. NOT a good idea. The paint just ran right off of them. Then I got out some green paint I already had and painted each one. I used some hot glue to connect them together and did a great job burning myself. Next I strung ribbon or twine from them and connected them to the large Burlap ribbon I made. To give it a little more color I added another smaller ribbon with some clover ribbon. I think it turned out pretty cute.

These are the foils I used

Here it is!

Enjoying A Play Date...

Porter getting ready to shoot his basket This is what he was shooting at. Everytime he would throw the ball Lukas would close his eyes!

Below is the boys looking at a ladybug they found
This past week Lukas got to invite his cousin Porter over for a play date. The two of them played so well together and Lukas loved having his own friend over for a while. Luckily we had really nice weather and the boys got to play outside and eat Popsicle's. Basketball and soccer games were played, but my favorite thing they did was go on a ladybug hunt. We have so many ladybugs around our house right now. It wasn't hard for them to find a lot of them. As soon as one was spotted one of them would yell out, "Here's a ladybug!" The boys would inspect each one as if they had never seen one before. Here are some cute pictures of the two of them.
