Wrea ...

Yes, I know my title is incomplete!  I did that on purpose :)

 Our day 5 activity was to make paper plate wreaths.  Well life threw us a bit of a curve ball, as it likes to on some days.  We only got the wreaths painted green.  They didn't get any decorations put on them.  We'll do that today and share the final projects later, probably alongside today's activity.

 I was either brave or stupid and decided to let S paint a wreath also.  The first thing we did was get on old shirts.  For D it was a too small t-shirt.  For S, no shirt and a long sleeved bib.  Then I put an old shower curtain liner on the kitchen table to contain the mess.  Finally I gave the kids their wreath, some green paint, and a paint brush.  D of course was very careful and painted beautifully.  I was pleasantly surprised that S got most of the paint on the wreath and didn't try to eat it.  We will certainly paint more in the future.

Great Country Farm

Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the ride more than D!

Happy Easter

Image
I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!

Here Come the Police!

Like most little boys, S is obsessed with anything that moves, makes noise, and has buttons.  I guess that's why one of his favorite toys right now is a remote control police car he got from my parents.  He drives around, where he wants it to go.  Although he does point the control backwards most of the time so when he pushes the reverse arrow it actually goes forward.  When it drives it makes siren noises.  Plus it has buttons on the car and the remote to push.  What more could a three year old boy want from a toy?!?!?
