happy day

happy valentine's day...

made for their daddy.

kids diy

i am really not sure what i think about this centerpiece, but it was easy and the kids did it all themselves.

 we had a few small pumpkins sadly lying about from halloween and the leaves are falling like crazy.

we also have a box full of pine cones from wyoming.

add it all together and we have an autumn container.

what fall projects are keeping little hands busy at your house?  happy monday...

little crafty birds

B loves jewelry, so we decided to make our own. 

N liked the feeling of the beads... we'll find beads in our kitchen for the days to come.  

Growing little gardeners

Kids love  digging in the dirt, planting, and watering flowers.  

N will dig all day if we let him.  B loves the pretty flowers and watering them every day.  

Eggs anyone?

What's Easter without eggs, right?  N is allergic, therefore we opted for wooden eggs instead.  I think B could do this for hours.  

Maybe we'll do one each year for a basket full when they go on their own... I could go through our collection and reminisce.  

Indoor planting

My kids have been sick off and on - today is another one of those days.  Keeping them entertained while we're stuck inside has been a challenge.   Today we will plant.  B has been asking to plant flowers.  

As you can see, I have not been a good keeper of our Amaryllis bulb.  It's been sitting in our garage on a shelf for two years, but we will give it a try.  To keep the mess low - we will use the rocks and water method.  

Now we can watch it grow and discuss all the changes to come!  

Letters...

Crafting, projects, paint, etc.  My little girl, B, loves to do any of these things.  We worked together to create her favorite letter - the letter "B," of course!  Paint, paper, glitter and ribbon came together to shimmer and shine on her bedroom door.

 For B's birthday I made her name - same concept, no glitter.  

Letters, glue, paint, and paper.  

It was a fun project and a colorful addition to her room.
