Halloween Jars

Finally found something to do with all of my Starbuck's coffee jars. :)

The leprechaun left us some rainbow goodies in the trap today!  Hayden loves mixing colors to see what turns out!  After creating various colors in our water glasses, we placed some white carnations into them to see how long it will take for them to change colors... Hayden can't wait to see this happen!  We also made more rainbow cupcakes... although they turned out better last year :).  Can't wait for some St. Patrick's Day fun tomorrow.

Wax Shamrocks

Today, we did a fun Shamrock craft!  We went through our gigantic crayon box and pulled out the different shades of green.  Then we used a pencil sharpener to make wax shavings on a piece of wax paper.  Once we had enough, we ironed over them which melted the shavings and wa-lah!... wax Shamrocks!  Hayden loved using the pencil sharpener and seeing how the shavings melted into cool designs!!  I think we will be doing this craft again for Easter.

Yippee!! Our two new cousins arrived!!! :)

Hooray!!!  Hayden's new cousins arrived safely yesterday!!!

Reagan Thomas                Reese Tiffany

Early yesterday morning, we received a call from Randy that Sheryl was having contractions.  About a half an hour later, they dropped Randy and Roary off at our place and headed to the hospital.  A few hours after that, the twins arrived safely!!!

 Scratch and Sniff Painting

A fun lunch to choose from!  Although, they all chose the same thing, LOL!

It is cold outside... Time for some homemade Puffy Paint & more fun!!

Wishful thinking for Spring!

Due to how cold it is outside, along with all the snow, Hayden's preschool was cancelled, so that equals another day of staying inside. :(  But we found some fun things to do...

Bubble Painting & Popping

Who would have thought that there would be a Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day?! Well there is, and today was that day.  Hayden loves bubble wrap, and was very happy when he saw me bring it out. We did some bubble wrap painting and bubble wrap dancing... I had some different types of bubble wrap that was hard to pop, but still fun to play around with.

Shrinky Dink time...

Since Hayden's theme at preschool this week is Transportation, I thought it would be a great tie-in to break out the Vehicle Shrinky Dinks!   It was so cute to see how excited he was to watch them shrink in the oven!
