Getting creative!

So Matthew needed some summer PJ's that would help him keep his diaper on (he's notorious for getting it off even through overalls). So I cut off the sleeves and legs and made these for him. My niece Christian was playing around with the cut off sleeves and said jokingly, "These could be some fingerless gloves!" So I sewed them up for her and they didn't look half bad! You can see them both in the photos.

Easter Egg Hunt!

April Fool's Day Fun!

Some kids in the neighborhood April Fooled my kids into thinking that we had a grape bush! LOL

My niece has been with us for her Spring Break so we went all out with an April Fool's dinner from Famil Fun magazine. We made "cupcakes" that were really mini-meat loaves topped with mashed potatoes for the frosting. For dessert, we did "meatloaf with mashed potatoes" that were really cocoa rice crispy treats with pieces of Starburst gummies cut up to look like tomatoes and celery. On the side there were "mashed potatoes and gravy" which was really vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce. It was really fun!

This really looks like meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy!
