Mothers Day Project

The kids decorated each grandma a flower pot. They used buttons, jewels & ribbons to jazz it up. Each pot turned out so cute. I bought some perennial flowers to put in them. I'm still not sure how I'm going to decide which Grandma gets what pot. Maybe I'll have to draw names or something. So here are the finished pictures.

GOTCHA!!

That is the name of Rick's frog he's doing for The Einstein Project. To get picked he had to submit designs for either a frog, butterfly or a sandhill crane. Then they were presented to judges and they chose the winners. The winners have to create this frog just as they were designed. So Rick is doing a frog with his tongue sticking out catching a fly. The only thing he had to work with was the frog, he's designed everything else so far and painted it. It's looking really cool. The blue you see on the back of the frog is just tape, where the black spots are going to be. I will post more pictures as this thing progresses.

A Beautiful "Family" Day

I felt like we needed to do something with the kids, something "fun" just to get away for a little bit. I think they get bored of the same old routine, like we do :) So I suggested we go to The Wildlife Sanctuary to feed the geese and see some of the other animals. We seen a couple of 3 week old racoons (they were soo cute), and some baby goslings. The kids were soooo excited. So here are a few pictures of our day. It was beautiful weather, the sun was shining. It was just a great day to spend together! We need to do more of that!!
