Mom's Birthday Present

I saw this on Ucreate and I just had to make one for my mom! I also made one of these flowers to pin onto my purse!

Damien's Mobile

I know he is way over the baby stage but I have been wanting to make him a mobile for his room and I thought better late then never... right? So here it is!

Little Leprechaun hand prints!

We made these little fellow's yesterday for our St. Patrick's day craft and thought they turned out so cute!! I once again got the idea from here!

The Leprechaun Trap

My sister in law is so good and making holidays special for her kids.  A while ago she told me about a Leprechaun trap that she does with her kids and I have wanted to try it.  So last night we built our leprechaun trap and Willard put some treasure inside it and set the ladder so the leprechaun could climb in and then not be able to get back out...
During the night the leprechaun came and did all sorts of mischief in our kitchen and he got in the leprechaun trap and found a way to get out too!!!  We awoke this morning to find our kitchen all messed up and a note from the leprechaun saying he had escaped from our trap but he left us a little gift for the treasure he took from us. 

Our little Porky was VERY concerned about the chairs being over-turned and didn't stop saying uh-oh until we finally put them back up right.  Willard was very excited about the treats the leprechaun left but he also wanted his treasure back (one penny and a nickel).  To end off the morning we had green scrambled eggs and green buttered toast.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Pom Poms

I needed a decoration idea for a baby shower this past week and these Pom Poms were just the thing.  So cheap, so easy, so cute!  I will definitely be using this idea again.

Penguin Feet

I found this fun project on my new favorite website. Love all of the cute ideas. We did this one with my friend Sarah and her daughter Kailyn. So much fun!

Valentine's Flowers

Last year I found this activity in the February 2010 Family Fun Magazine and loved them.  This year I decided to take them in the institute nursery that I was in charge of.  It was a little ambitious and next time I think I would just make them in advance and let them color them there.  Today I cut everything out in advance, then let the kids color the hearts (flower petals) and then I taped them together.  It was a little exhausting but they just turn out as such cute Valentines.  The ones I did in nursery were with construction paper and I had a leaf on the back with a name or message on it.

Just cut out three hearts, a 5 petal flower for the middle and a leaf for the back.  Put a hole punch through each.  Crease the hearts in the center and then put a dum dum sucker through each and tape it secured how you want it.  Write a Valentine message on the leaf.
