Cherry Blossom Trees

So we talked about how spring is coming and one of my favorite things about spring is the Cherry Blossom Trees in Washington, DC.  I have yet to see them in person but someday my husband will take me. :)

Cut out a trunk and glue it on and then cut several squares out of tissue paper.

Glue several dots on the background of the paper and then let the kids crumble the tissue paper and glue it on.

It is a fun way to release stress! :)

They are so cute too!  Scroll up to see the finished product!

Scoops of Fun!

Our fourth item in...cheap and fun weird toy week

I found it at Walmart for $7 dollars, Target no longer carries this game.

A and L jumped right into this game!

It is a great little game 

Fun Find Game

Our third item in...cheap and fun weird toy week

Grab some small candies, and some plastic eggs.

Take the tops off and then put one candy in the egg.

Move them around and let the kids guess where the candy is hiding...

Nope not there...

The excitement in my daughters face is not fake...they LOVED this game!

Then I let them play it themselves and they thought it was so much fun!

Peg-A-Lite

Our second item in...cheap and fun weird toy week

These were a dollar at Michaels and they do have small parts so I would make sure that you are sitting with the kids while they are playing with these.

L and B were so into this they sat for 45 minutes making the designs.  It was perfect for small motor skills!

L was being so silly!

I mean they sat there quietly and worked hard on their peg-a-lites!

Pop and Catch

This week is cheap and fun weird toy week.  Yup you read right.  We are going to start with...

The Pop and Catch...a $2.50 toy found in the easter section at Walmart.

You shoot the trigger and the ball comes out.

Woah!

Nice Catch!

This is what we do when it was 65 all week and then we get hit with 9 inches of snow the next day.  Gottta love Colorado!

Green Lunch

This has been so much fun this week, we had to end it with a bang!

MMMmmmm

Pesto Pasta, Kiwi, Pistachio Pudding, Avacados, Honeydew, and Cucumbers w/Lemon

Lets see how they did...

A - LOVED the Pasta

L - loved the Avacados

B - Loved EVERYTHING (suprise, suprise)

S - ate whatever I gave her. LOL

We decided that the sweet things were very good and had a hard time decided what the other foods should be as far as catergory.  A put the pasta in the yummy catergory. :)

Handprint Leprechauns

Sponge Paint the bottom of the hand in orange-red paint...I made it myself!

Thrilling...

After the hands are stamped, watercolor some rainbows.

Then piece a pot of gold, a hat and a head on to the Leprechaun...

Super cute!
