Toilet Paper Roll OWLS

When I came across owls made out of TP rolls online I thought "Wow!  We need to make those!"  It's amazing how quickly the rolls accumulate in a house with 5 people.  So gathering up the rolls took no time at all.  Lily, Keyan and I had a fun time putting these li'l guys together! 


Here's how we did it ...

Take your TP rolls, fold over the tops, paint
and allow time for the paint to dry.


Once the paint is dry add some googly eyes,
a beak and a set of wings.  We made our wings out of foam. 
You can make yours out of anything you'd like: fabric, paper etc.

Apple Stamps

We changed up our regular painting routine yesterday by adding an apple stamp!  Easy peasy for Mom, just cut an apple in half and voila! - apple stamp.  Something so simple for me yet so much fun for Lily!




Hippity Hop Down the Bunny Trail

Uh oh, did I really forget to post pictures from Easter?  Oops!  

Nothing out of the ordinary for us this year, but Brendan was quoted saying more then once "This is the best Easter ever!"  What did he like most about it? ... spending time with his family!  Words can't express how proud I am when my kids enjoy family time!

Yes, the Easter Bunny stopped by our place!
He left the kids some fun things ...


... and even hid some eggs in the backyard!




My happy, healthy and beautiful trio!
