It is Easter time and with Easter comes Spring break.  Spring break means that the kids are home and need something to do.  I have been researching crafts all day to find just the right ones.  I have compiled a list with the links of crafts we are intending to try.

  1. Fancy Feathered Friends: These are little chicks made out of egg cartons and eggs.  They are super cute.   They will act as super cute decorations on Easter around the house.
  2. Nesting Instinct:  This is a cute birds nest which seems like it will be super easy to make.  All you need is clay and some sticks.
  3. Easter Pins:  These will be really cute for grandmas on E$aster morning!
  4. Leaf Print Eggs: These are so interesting and look so professional.  I cannot wait to give them a try!

These should occupy the first few days of our very long Spring break!  I hope that these look as good to the kids as they did to me.   I would love to hear and see what crafts you all have in mind for the Easter holiday.  I think that it will be a fun way to avoid the boredom bug!

Spring Fever

I took my temperature this morning and I have it… SPRING FEVER.  I have tried to keep it at bay.  I tried to fight it off but still I am sick with it.  I am yearning for spring.  Perhaps it is all of the spring dresses in the stores, perhaps it is the posts that others are making online.  All I know is that this morning I was totally sick with it!  I was thinking about why I love Spring so much and here are the top 5 reasons that I have Spring fever.

  1. Spring is a new begining. All winter I struggle not to get caught up too much in the winter blues.  Each year I fail!  I look at Spring as a new begining.  Baby birds start coming to life, flowers start popping out of the ground, and the buds are on the trees.  It is a fresh start for everything including me!
  2. Spring is warm. It is not hot!  It is warm.  You still need a sweater but the sun feel warm on your face as it smiles down on you. The windows can be open each day to let some fresh air in and the family can take a family hike or its first family letterboxing trip.
  3. Spring has flowers.  Not only does Spring offer flowers but it offers my favorite flowers.  Tulips are the flower I love the most.  They are just as delicate as a rose in features but last and last.  I just love them!
  4. Spring is a time to play. This means that the kids want to go out more and more.  They are feeling this fever too and it is all they can do not to be house ridden with this fever!  Spring means that they can run and have some fun without FREEZING!
  5. Spring brings the sun. As I mentioned the sun gets warmer in the spring but there is something else that the spring sun does!  The spring sun makes the days longer.  There is nothing more depressing then it being dark out by 4pm.  Now the sun shines longer and longer.  I have noticed this in the past week or so.  Perhaps that is why I have this fever.

I would love to hear your favorite things about Spring!  I know that we all have at least 5!  Be careful though, do not come too close.  I do not want you to catch the fever also!
