A Day at the Zoo
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010Easter Fun
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
(click on any image to view larger) Easter is such a fun time. I love all of the egg coloring, fun candy, egg hunts and decorations. Most of all though, I’m so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, whose resurrection we celebrate on this day. I’m so very, very grateful for Him.
Yummy After-School Snack
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
A little peanut butter slathered on some apple slices with a few marshmallows makes mouths happy. 
Vinegar Volcanoes
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
My kids love doing this. You will need:
*a cookie sheet with sides (to catch the excess liquid and foam from the volcanoes)
*food coloring (if you want to color the volcanoes)
*baking soda
*vinegar
*canning jars or glasses
*teaspoon
Place glasses or canning jars on cookie sheet. Add about 1/3 cup of vinegar to each glass. Add a drop of food coloring to each glass. Then let your child spoon in the baking soda. You can add more vinegar and baking soda after each volcano settles down to make it active again.

It’s Just Another Mustache Monday…
Monday, March 15th, 2010
(Title of this post is to be sung to the tune of The Bangles’ Manic Monday.) So we tried black face paint this time instead of eyeliner when we sneakily painted mustaches on our kids in the middle of the night. They woke up with their mustaches a bit smudged! SO funny. I found these wax mustaches to put in their lunches today. I hope the ones at school enjoy finding them in their lunches as much as the ones who were at home did! You can view the pictures from our last “Mustache Monday” here.
Rainbow Snack

For an after-school snack the other day, I decided to make little rainbows out of fruit with small bowls of cream cheese and marshmallow creme for dipping. They were eaten right up!
Girls’ Valentine’s Day Party
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
So I let my daughters invite a few friends over for a Valentine’s Day breakfast party. So fun! Only I forgot to wash my white tablecloth and had to use a blue one. Hehe, I don’t think the girls really cared too much about that detail! We played a little game after with candy hearts and a silly little story I wrote. Each person had to read what they came up with.
