Piper's Project

With spring coming and seeing all the plants at the nurseries, Piper decided that she wanted to plant a garden. We are not really set up for a garden so I decided that we would have to come up with a new plan. I found these little green houses at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and Piper was thrilled with the idea of growing something. Her first plant was an eggplant but it only lasted 48 hours before Paige got ahold of it and dumped it all over the floor. So back to the store we went and this time she picked out a sweet pepper plant. To be honest with you I really didn't think that anything was going to grow, but as you can see there are sprouts! Piper is so excited!!! She checks on her little plant everyday and gives it words of encouragement. It is so cute to watch. It will be interesting to watch the progress of her little project.

Tuesday Art

On Tuesday Piper did two different art projects. The first one was decorating and painting a visor. Piper had a lot of fun putting some summer-like stickers on her new hat and making it a bit more colorful with some paint.
Her second project was painting. I bought some blank canvases the other day and let her go to town on them. She loved painting like a "real" artist.

Wednesday Art

One of the presents that Piper got for her birthday was a tie dye kit from Uncle Larry and Aunt Lynda. She was so excited and couldn't wait to make shirts. When we woke up on Wednesday it was raining outside, so I decided that it was the perfect day for and indoor project. She had so much fun making her shirts and couldn't wait to see the finished project. After 8 long hours, the shirts were ready to be unwrapped. I must say - for our first time tie dying, I think they turned out awesome.

Thursday Art

Piper found a rock in the backyard the other day that she just fell in love with. So I thought it would be fun to paint it and make a pet rock for her. Thursday was perfect for this since it rained all day and we were stuck inside. She couldn't wait to get started. She had so much fun! She can't wait to get some more "pet" rocks!

Crafty

Today Piper & I worked on a craft project. I found this really cute foam house at the craft store & thought it would be a good project for us to work on. She loved all the glitter & glue.

The finished project. She was so proud!

Utah Fun

Piper & I were so lucky to go down to Utah a couple of weeks ago with my mom. We visited with family we don't get to see very often and we had loads of fun. We decorated cupcakes, made baby blankets, and shared recipes. Thanks Aunt Karen & Uncle Ted for the wonderful time. We miss & love you guys lots!!!! Piper so proud of her cupcake:0)

Of course after all the icing & cupcakes, all the little ones were ready for a bath. They had a blast playing with their magic wash cloths & having a bath time tea party.
Of course we can't go to Aunt Karen's house without a project. We were only going to do one baby blanket, but we ended up doing 3 blankets, 1 pillow, & two pillow cases. Thanks again Aunt Karen for all your hard work!!!

A Work...

in progress. This is my new project. When I was little, I remember watching my grandma crochet in her chair while she watched TV. She was always working on something. I decided that I wanted to learn to crochet a blanket, so I found a pattern, watched a lot of YouTube videos, and started to crochet.
