He is Alive

We serve a risen Savior! We serve the ONLY living God. Thank you Father for sending your only son to die for our sins and thank you Jesus for choosing to die for us....and giving us the Holy Spirit.
We did crafts all week for our decorations for Easter lunch with our family.
The one thing we ALWAYS do is the tomb cookies...we did not do them this year...Jerry and the oldest 3 went to his family's for the day on Sat and got home very late.
Here are a few shots of the crafts from the week and of the girls!

Craft and Play day

So, last Thursday, I woke up late...did not make Ava go to school and we had a craft and play day! Audrey was an angel for us....we did "Color Wonder" paint...twice and we did Shrinky Dinks. Shrinky Dinks are fun for all ages....even Mommy ages! They colored...lots! Sophie is really good about staying in the lines, even at two...I suppose it is from watching big sister's do it. We had a fun and relaxing day! And you could tell by looking at the house, but guess what....it was still there the next day!!!

Valentine Happy!

We made these cute crafts the other day. Once again, glitter, kids favorite, is all over the house! Oh well, we had fun doing them!
I got this idea from www.flipflopsandapplesauce.blogspot.com She is super creative and seems to ALWAYS be doing crafts with her girls.
Here is the salt dough recipe:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 1/2 cup hot water
Mix til smooth, cut shapes...don't forget the hole for ribbon!(we used a straw)
Microwave for 2-4 min
After hard and cool "mod podge" and glitter (we did a couple of layers)
Add ribbon and presto!!!
***If you have 1 or 2 kids just cut the recipe in half.

Snowflakes

Last week a friend and her little girl came over. We made snowflakes! Easy, fun...messy project! Q-tips, wax paper, elmers glue and glitter!
After the glue dries, you peel them off and hang them up. Fun and cute!
