Spring Wings

For Samson & Seri's Easter baskets this year I was feeling a little cheap/crafty, so I decided to make their main Easter gift. Seri has butterfly wings & Samson has Blue Angel wings, both made out of 3 layers of cereal boxes, hot glue & fabric glue. I don't expect them to last too long, but so far they are still going strong. Even with Samson forgetting he now has to factor in "wing clearance" as he runs through and behind things they remain fully intact. LOL

When they drive me nuts....

.....I make them craft. Samson & Seri have been bickering & teasing each other non stop for the last few days. Literally, from the moment they wake up they start fighting. The last two mornings it's been over a Nemo stuffed toy. Nemo now belongs to me. Their toy room is looking scarce as I have confiscated whatever they are fighting over. I had to take so many deep breaths today I felt light headed. If they keep this up I'll need meds. So, whenever they drive me nuts like this I pull out a craft. They're too busy creating to fight. I'd much rather clean up a huge mess that listen to the fighting. So today they made necklaces out of noodles.

Step 1: Paint the noodles
Step 2: Paint hands
Step 3: Paint Seri's hands
(Seri has decided she doesn't like paint on her hands)
Step 4: Paint arms
Step 5: After noodles dry they strung them on yarn

Step 6: Be SO happy to wear their homemade bling.
Step 7: Craft over, happiness over. Start fighting again over stupid princess rings that were on Target cupcakes. Bye bye rings.

A is for Ant

Samson is very good at recognizing letters, so we started to do activities with the letter to help him even more. One of his favorite things to do is to paint. Later that day we were coloring with sidewalk chalk outside and he found two ants walking near his drawings. Obviously they were there to check out his art work, so to help them out he drew more art dangerously close to them (I was afraid he was going to smash them, and then I'd have to explain what happened) and he'd said "there you go".
