cookies and bunnies

YUM!

First they decorated their table...then the cookies. They were Yummy!

These are a bit backwards....but here are the bunnie baskets. I usually don't do projects that the kids can't do mostly by themselves, but I found this on one of the sites and thought the kids would really enjoy carrying them around AND...I happened to have 10 milk cartons waiting for the perfect project. The kids picked out all the colors of the items that they wanted and Korina and I hot glued them on. To give it their own little touch I let them 'decorate' with colored sharpies! The did really enjoy playing with them!!


Campbell who is 2 was filling hers up with little people. cute.
Addy decorated just about every little space she could find :)


Even the bottom :)


I can't remember where the bunny idea came from...probably from one of you gals who might read this. If so, speak up! Sorry....I run through so many great ideas!!

egg finding......

The eggs have been hidden......
The kids are excited and waiting patiently.....
Streeetttch.......
Everybody got to find 7 eggs.....
With their bunny baskets. :)

Egg Cracking....

Every year we buy dozens of eggs and we crack them. If you are one that doesn't like kids playing with food....close your eyes. The kids love this and remember it. How often do you cook and your kids want to crack the eggs?? Now they know how, sort of. The pictures tell the rest...
We have 2 rules. Keep your hands away from your face and keep the eggs in the bowl...

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

We started out with paint and a variety of items to paint with.....

It starts out pretty mellow....

Bryan is counting and lining up his circles....he made three sets of 5 which = 15....and yes!!...this is how he self talks to himself. I love it!! Notice how each set =5, but in different order. so one is long, and two are bunched up and they all =5!!

I was wondering how long before they started using their hands!

Green hands...they love to 'wash' the paint all over...

new paper...new interest!

um...coooool!


Ali is 'helping' Addy paint her own hands. My first reaction was to tell her she could do it herself...but this was soooo sweet!
