2nd Annual Easter Egg Playdate

Last year I started a tradition of getting some of our friends together for an Easter egg hunt playdate...so this year we did it again but another friend hosted. It was lots of fun and the weather was perfect. The funniest thing was watching our boys wrestle for a good 30-45 minutes. It amazes me how inate the wrestling characteristic is in boys. We also made the milk carton easter baskets!

Milk Carton Easter Basket

Here is a cute little easter basket I made out of a milk carton. The ears are made with card stock paper and hot glued onto the container. You can unwind a cotton ball for the ears and glue one on the back for a tale.

Snow Day

We got about 6 inches of snow last night and had a blast playing in it today. I was especially thrilled that John got to stay home today to enjoy the snow with us.

We made snow angels.

We went sledding.

We learned about the letter 'S' and played with snow. We also did snow experiments like melting snow in hot water.

We warmed up in the bath.
Then we went back outside and made a snowman

Prayer Quilt

Here is a picture of the prayer quilt I have been making. I'm absolutely LOVING quilting and freezer paper applique particularly. I especially love the fellowship I've been enjoying while making the quilt since I joined a quilting group at our church. We meet twice a month and give our quilts to someone in our church in need...after finishing our quilts we include a prayer block on the back and pray over the quilt. It feels very much like I imagine Mitford would! I hope to have this done in the next month. I'm also working on a dinosaur quilt for Joshua that I hope to give him for his birthday.
