I decided VERY last minute to make the Easter Bunny cupcakes this morning to bring to our playgroup Easter egg hunt. So they were rushed and not as cute as they usually are but the brown chocolate bunnies were CHOCOLATE so it was worth it to me! In real life they looked cuter than when [...]
I love these bunny cupcakes I made previous Easters, they are how I got the idea for my pig cupcake and so I wanted to share my idea for this years bunny cupcakes (even though I won’t make them until Sat night). I bought chocolate, strawberry and plain white marshmallows so this year I can [...]
During our eagle spotting adventure last weekend I spotted something in a tree with the binoculars. I took a picture of the tree hoping I could figure out what it was by zooming in on the Mac. Here’s what we found: At first I thought these were red-tailed hawks, but after showing it to my [...]
I admit that I am not a Barney person (does any adult admit to being a Barney person?) but I hadn’t actually seen it since I became a mom. When Parent Bloggers Network was looking for people to review the Barney Animal ABC DVD, I decided to give it a chance. It did not completely [...]
This weekend I took the boys on a little adventure to go looking for bald eagles at a nearby lake. They got all their stuff packed in their backpacks and we headed out to make our own adventure. All the boys (me too) brought binoculars and a camera. Our first animal spotting of the trip [...]
I may be the only one excited about it right now but I am very EXCITED that I called and ordered our baby chicks today. It looks like we’ll be picking them up from the post office on April 23rd. That gives me some time to prepare. I couldn’t get the Golden Buff I wanted [...]
This week The Unplugged Project is Wood and it was the perfect time for John to build some bird houses with the boys (I tried to convince him to build me a chicken coop for the chicks I’m ordering tomorrow but I have a feeling he’ll get moving on that once the birds are living [...]
I made my first homemade tutu for Jamie this week. Its hard to get a good look at it in these pictures but its not bad. I’m going to buy some more supplies and try out some changes to the next one I make (I’d like it more dense). Once I get the hang of [...]
Baseball injury season started early for us Wednesday morning when Ethan and Ben decided to play catch before school. I let them play catch in the house with a squishy baseball but Ben couldn’t find it and he threw Ethan a real hardball, and it didn’t land in Ethan’s glove. I had Ethan ice it [...]
So now 2 of my kids have fallen asleep on the stairs! This time Jamie stopped half way down to the playroom and she fell asleep after a minute of watching her brothers play (it was on Monday when she wasn’t feeling well). Ethan came down from bed and slept on the stairs at Christmas [...]
