Easter Chicks!

I saw this great idea on my Facebook page yesterday from Mamas Like Me and knew that we just had to do this fun project for Easter. Now to be truthful Monkey has no idea what chicks have to do with Easter and we really didn't talk about it as I want him to understand the true Biblical reason behind it but it was still so much fun!

First, I cut out all the shapes and placed them on little paper plates. Then we made an example together so he could make more by himself. Monkey loves making crafts and I knew that he would be making many of them.
After brother woke up from his nap we set up all his things on his craft table in the corner of his room. It looks a little crowded but he loves working here and it's all the space we currently have for him. 
He set right to work with Goose and I watching making his first chicken. And he did great with very little instruction from me. 

Look at the proud face! 
That just has to melt your heart seeing him so proud that he accomplished making his very own chicken!
It was so fun to watch him work on this project! And by the end of the day he had made at least four of them. It might have been more!
Hope you can enjoy making it this Easter season as well!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
