April Fools Day

We haven't done anything special for April 1st in the past but I think maybe this year we can do something.. these are some of the cute ideas out there!

Meatloaf Cupcakes.. So clever! Mashed Potato "frosting"

I bet I could get my kids to eat these!

Or Calzone Cupcakes with a little tomato on top!

"Grilled Cheese" made with frosting and Pound Cake!

These fries are also pound cake! Cute!

If you have a kiddo that takes sandwhich for lunch this is eww, but funny since it's just the bag!

Food Networks lasagna, really it's banana pudding and stuff

Making a Jello drink to look like juice or lemonade! Make plain gelatin ice cubes seperatly, then cut into little cubes, add lemon Jello before its set and a straw!

Martha Stewart of course has some good ideas like this

Mashed Potaoes and Gravy that look like ice cream and caramal sauce

Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Hope you all have a great St.Patrick's Day and avoid the pinchies!

We are busy busy delivering some of these

 

And following the leprechaun trail hunting for these

 

 

 

And since I'm sure the kids will be ready for a snack after that, Ive got this all ready!

 

 

And then hopefully a nap!

 

If it's not pouring down rain I think we will plants the rest of our bulbs in the backyard and let these kids get dirty! And maybe some coloring.. I printed these off

 

 

 

Hopefully the coloring will keep them occupied so I can make dinner! We are having potato soup for dinner,only because I found these adorable little potatoes at our tiny little grocery store, they were too cute not to use!

 

And then I think the littles will take a green bath, the hopefully fall asleep easily!

 

Who's ready for April Fools Day? 2 weeks to plan!

~Rainbow Yogurt~

or you could use pudding!

I just split a few containers up and colored them, used a Ziploc baggie to fill up my favorite Jelly Jar Glasses!

I'll probably give them a little cloud marshmallow on top!

The kids are WAY too excited about St.Patrick's Day and they haven't even seen these yet! I have so much stuff planned I have to split it up into 2 days!

Spring Cleaning week 4 {Bedrooms}

I was supposed to be doing Spring Cleaning the bathrooms last week... but I didn't, not even a little bit. Instead, Hubby had a few days off and we painted our formal living room.

So I am behind a week but Hubby is out of town this week so I am hoping I can get it all done and start on the bedrooms! And we are out of trim paint so none of that will be done either.. doesn't look like I will be all done before Spring..darn!

Well here is my list for bedrooms, in case I get to it this week!

• Go Through Clothes and move winter stuff to the back!

• Go Through Toys

• Go Through Books (and post on paperbackswap.com)

• Clean out Nightstands

• Clean ceiling fans and light fixtures

• Flip Mattresses

• Steam Mattresses

• Go Through Underneath Bed (always purging)

• Windows

• Window Tracks

• Wash Curtains

• Polish Furniture

• Clean Baseboards

• Take off Bed Warmers

So hoping the kids want to help and we get this done before Spring Break (next week) and hopefully by the time we get back it will be nice enough to work outside!

Hope Everyone is enjoying the last week of Winter (finally!)

And I am sure I will spend a little time tonight looking for some fun April Fools stuff for the kiddies!
