Leaf Glitter

We made leaf glitter and glued it to the paper in pumpkin (kinda) shapes...I have toddlers, and they wanted to "help" glue. This is proof that not every turns out as perfectly as everything you see on Pinterest. However, it was fun, nonetheless. Hudson especially liked turning the whole leaves into glitter. We got that idea of leaf glitter from (here).

Painting Pumpkins

Painting pumpkins was a huge hit! We couldn't have asked for better weather, and the kids LOVED painting their pumpkins. Painting with the brushes and sponges turned into squirt painting. Glitter was sprinkled dumped on them in the end. They turned out great and really weren't too big of a mess...kids both got bathed right after, and I was glad we did this while John was home to help! Check out the picture of Reese's pink lipstick...oops! Don't let YOUR little ones eat the paint! Oh, Reese loved it so much, she screamed when we said it was finally time to go inside.

The Secret of the Wings Movie Premiere

So I was able to score FREE tickets to the premiere of Disney's The Secret of the Wings. My mom and sisters joined the kids and me at the Town Center AMC theatre. My kids were both super excited, especially Reese since she's been really into fairies lately! Reese even wore a fairy shirt. Before going to the movie, I stopped by Walmart and picked up a box of the Tinkerbell fruit snacks to eat while waiting for the movie to start. I know...perfect, right?! The kids loved that! And get this...both kids sat through the ENTIRE movie! They loved it...and so did I! It was such a cute, clean movie! I'd highly recommend this as a birthday or Christmas present! We can't wait to see it again! After the movie, they handed out little fairy zipper pulls, which the kids had fun playing with...and I have hopes of attaching to Reese's purses if they don't get lost in the mean time.

Joe Joe

My sister gave birth to her firstborn...a little boy named Joseph! He is so sweet and so tiny, yet so big! He was 9 pounds, 8 ounces. H-O-L-Y COW! He was the size a few week old baby...yet compared to my babies (1.5 years and 3.5 years), he was itty bitty! He was born at New Birth Company in Overland Park, Kansas. The place is gorgeous and looks super comfy!  It's almost like a little romantic getaway...only you're not making the baby, you're pushing it out instead. If you haven't been there, you should catch one of their tours. I think they're on Monday nights. Although it was not the most perfect experience, she was glad she had the baby there.

Alright, folks, here he is in all his newborn sweetness! Don't you just want to kiss him?!

Lemonade Stand

Tonight, our family had a photo session with Third Avenue Photography. It was so much fun! It was a themed "Lemonade Stand" session for our children and we got some great family shots, too! Here are a few teasers from the shoot...

Happy Easter!

Our Big Girl
