Fun With Food

Owen gets a little nature magazine in the mail thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Araiza. He LOVES learning about animals and loves that he gets something in the mail just for him. In every issue there's always a craft/food idea to try. When Owen saw this one, he couldn't wait to try out.

Mom...Seriously... Don't take my picture!

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!!

"A bumble bee and a flower"

Owen Araiza, age 3 1/2

On the left is the bumble bee. Next to it is the flower. He's getting pretty good.

We're so proud of our Owen.

Owen has recently begun drawing happy faces. They make me happy. :)

She's Crafty

For Easter Sunday at my in-laws, we have an Egg Auction.  We hide hundreds of plastic eggs and everybody finds as many as they can.  Then, we use the eggs as money for a live auction.  This year I was assigned to fill three of these with some goodies.

Now, don't get me wrong, these buckets are lovely just the way they are.  But I couldn't help but think they could use a little sprucing up.  So, 4 sheets of scrapbooking paper, lots of modge podge, a few buttons, some twine, a hot glue gun and one napping baby later (well actually it took 2 naps to get it all done), I had these little beauties.

Perfect for spring, don't you think?
