On Easter weekend we started our "craft time" with decorating Spring Cookies (they are no longer called Easter Cookies…something that disturbed me…). Check out our crafts below.

On Easter Monday, I was home with the girls and it was all about crafts again. It started with making homemade birthday cards for their cousins, Jessica and Hayley, then it was the finger painting and oops I forgot to take pictures. We ended the day making banana muffins…..more fun.

So this past week Ava asked me if I could stay home one day so I could go crafts with her and make cupcakes with icing. I told her it had to wait for the weekend and was really touched that she wanted me to stay home with her. So after waiting weeks for Linda's class at the Paper Pickle the day finally came. I was super excited about this class. Here is my finished product. I am going to make another one because I made several mistakes and wasn't quite happy with the result. However, every project is never the same and very unique. I learned lots and can't wait for more craft time where I can get dirty.

I returned from my class and Ava and Jaelyn made cupcakes with a little help. Their new passion is baking…something I greatly dislike but I don't want to limit their interests and went with it.
