Spring fever

" Hey Mom, did you know that there are only 5 weeks left of school?!"

Uh no, no I didn't. I knew the end of the school year was coming up but didn't realize how soon.

No wonder life around here has turned into spending hours at the park, sleeping in later than usual, sucking back otter pops and trying to avoid homework like the plague.

It has been hard to concentrate on...well anything!

Who wants to spend time inside when the weather is perfect, you have awesome neighbors to sit and chat with, and of course letting the kids burn off a ton of energy at the park.

I love spring...and am looking forward to summer!!

Spring Craft

I love doing crafts but without having a craft store here...well it makes it somewhat hard! I found this cute and easy idea and knew I had almost everything I needed.

I went through my husband's wood scraps and he made me 3 square blocks that were 3in x3 in. I then sanded them until they were smoothe. Next I spray painted 3 blocks pink and 3 pistachio. After letting them dry, I simply added pink scrapbook stickers and spelled out spring. My original plan was to use white sticker letters. I *might* do that still. Haven't decided yet.

Obviously this is quick and easy! Not to mention cheap. I have a set like these that are painted red and have HO HO HO on them in white. You of course can use them for any holiday! Spelling out BOO, or BELIEVE, or JOY, THANKS, LOVE, AMERICA etc. Just simply change paint colors!

You can also stamp the letters on instead of using stickers!

I hope you enjoyed my show and tell!
