Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a fun day today! We started the day by "discovering" that a leprechaun had left little green foot prints all over the kitchen (I can't believe I didn't get a pic =() and realizing that he also left a pot of rainbow filled treats on the counter! The boys were so excited! We then had green pancakes shaped like shamrocks!

Below is a pic of one of the pancakes. Doesn't look green, but it was REALLY green when you cut it open!


Here's M (and a little bit of the hubby!) eating their pancakes! M was trying to get some syrup! What good is a pancake without syrup?!

Little A wasn't with it today! He's a sick little guy =( But I took a pic anyways!

Here are rainbow cupcakes I made for a Primary activity last weekend. I iced them white and added rainbow sprinkles and the kids went bananas for them!! I got the recipe from www.familyfun.com. They take a while to make, but I'd be willing to make them once a year!

Hope everyone had a fun day! Make the most of your days, especially if you have little ones! They will be grown and moved out before you know it!!

Thanks!

To all the wonderful new people who have decided to follow little ole me, I say THANKS! I am learning very much thanks to the blogging world and am very grateful to those of you who stop by!!

I learned to put a button on my page! That was HUGE for me (I know pathetic, but huge for me nonetheless)! I did my very first link up thingy yesterday and that was FUNNO!! I love new ideas and I hope that you will always stop by and visit so we can learn from each other!

If it isn't raining where you are, I'm jealous! It just won't stop raining!! I shouldn't complain...I'm the first one come summer to complain about the lack of rain! Can't it just be 70 degrees and sunny?! Like Pleasantville?!

Thanks again for stopping by!! Have a lovely day!

10 Little Rubber Ducks!!

We read the 10 Little Rubber Ducks today and it is a cute little book! Another one I need to buy (I am going to be BROKE!)



Here is a pic of the boys "painting" glue onto their ducks and adding yellow tissue paper to it! What a mess it was! I thought it would be totally Eric Carle-y!

Here's the ducks, not quite finished because the boys got fed up with the tissue paper sticking to their fingers! It was a good idea in theory! Maybe I will finish them tonight...or maybe not!

I did my first link up thing over at Vintage Wanna Bee and it was fun! Got to see a TON of great ideas!

Beautiful day...

Just a quick little post tonight! I helped paint my brothers house this evening and I'm exhausted!! Good feeling to do some service though!!

Before my hubby and I painted, we attended a baptism. It was truly remarkable! The Spirit was so strong there and the young man that was baptized will make an awesome addition to our branch! =) I remember being baptized a little over ten years ago. I was a timid, shy 18 year old girl, scared to death of what I was getting myself into! The gospel absolutely changed my life for the better! I am stronger knowing who I am, and knowing my worth to a loving Father in Heaven! Being the only member in my family was the HARDEST part. They didn't understand and some of them still don't. When I got sealed in the temple, I devistated my whole family. Leaving my mom to go to the Washington, D.C. temple just about cracked me. I am glad I did what I knew was the right thing for me. Now my mom understands. She supports me and I love her for that!

I love the gospel of Jesus Christ! To learn more visit www.lds.org.

Thanks for visiting!! Have a great night!!

The Very Clumsy Click Beetle

Truth is, I tried REALLY hard not to do a craft today and just read the book but the boys wouldn't have it! So I did the craft I had planned and it turned out pretty cute!

We read The Very Clumsy Click Beetle today and it's the cutest book ever! Definitely one to buy!

We made our very own click beetles. I printed out beetles from the computer , let them color them, hot glued pipe cleaners for legs and hot glued the body onto a clothes pin. You need the clothespins with the springs so when you push down, they CLICK!! It works wonderfully!

Here's a pic of the boys clicking them at the table! Very fun project to do!

Have a great day and stop by soon! I love visitors! =)

Little Cloud

Today was a great day! We went to the library and returned all of our Seuss books in exchange for some Eric Carle books! We own The Very Hungry Catepillar and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, so we got a couple of the other titles he has written!

Below is just a random picture of my boys helping cook dinner! They are good helpers!!

The book for today was Little Cloud and we read it as we did our craft. The boys were very interested in this book! I love that they love to read!

I drew some shapes from the book onto some white paper. I traced a lot of them because I'm not the best at drawing!

Then I gave each of the boys a cup with glue in it and a paint brush and they painted the glue onto the paper and added cotton. We did a rabbit, plane, two trees, and a hat! They sat and did the entire project and that's really good for Little A!

Thanks for stopping by! It was a wonderful, cold day here in PA!! But the sun was beautiful and abundant and I will take that! Anything but snow!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Last Day of Seuss!

Well today wasn't as exciting as I had planned! I woke up with the WORST headache and it's still here!! I'm starting to feel a little better but I still can't wait for bed!

We read the Sneetches today! I love it! We also have a cartoon of it that we watched! It has a good message about not judging others and being OK with yourself! I loved it! I made the boys star-belly sneetch shirts! I know the shirts are supposed to be yellow, but I'm trying to do with what I have and the boys loved them!


Here's M's shirt! You couldn't see it in the pic above because all of the hugs he was giving his brother!

And here is my set of Spring blocks!! I love them too! Not too bad for only spending about $1.50, eh?

What a fun week we had!! I really enjoyed showing the boys the wacky world of Dr. Seuss! I noticed while we were at the library last week that there were just as many Eric Carle books as their were Seuss!! Well almost! So we are going to work with Carle books this week! I love the library! Looking forward to our trip in the morning!
