Day 109... Tulips

Mom brought these beauties home from the garden center today. They are soooo pretty. I love the color. They will really help get us in the mood for spring around here.

Day 108...Toy Story Art

My daughter recently saw watched Toy Story 3 on DVD. We had seen it at the theater last year. She enjoyed seeing it again so much she ordered a bunch of Toy Story books from the local library. One of the books was a book on how to draw the characters from each film. She immediately got started drawing and painting the main characters. She did a great job of it, so I thought I would show you some of her work.

Day 107... Ice Cream, Yummy but Messy!

Took the kids out for a treat after church today. We headed to 31 Flavors for some ice cream goodness. It wasn't long before my son was a mess. There was chocolate from his nose all the way down to his lap. But wow, it was yummy! We went strait home afterwards and I hosed him down. Wink!

Day 106... Spinach Artichoke Dip

Now doesn't that look yummy?! I think so. I get this dip from my local Trader Joe's. Now it isn't the same as eating out, but it is pretty darn good and a close second to the recipes they use at places like Chili's. I even loved that I finally got a chance to use the serving dish I got from Mom for my birthday.

Day 105... Door of Art!

Wall space is sparse in our home. There are many doorways and closets, mirrors and pictures my mom has decorated with through the years. So, I had to be creative when we started homeschooling so that I could find a place to display school work and art. I started using the fridge and had to resort to the bathroom door in our kitchen. Now I am wondering where we will hang our world map for homeschool geography next year? Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Day 104... No room for candy!

We got this adorable easter basket for my daughter when she was just a wee one. Over the years she has gotten cute little stuffed critters from her aunties and us. Now, her basket is so full that there is no room for candy. Too funny! We will have to lift some of these goodies out to put a bit of chocolate in there. LOL!

Day 103... Grand Prix Cars

These are the finished cars for the big Awana's Grand Prix race. I think they turned out pretty good. My daughter painted most of her own, and my son painted the his car black. I added the other details and my husband put on the fin and the wheels for them. While we didn't end up winning for speed or style, each year is a learning experience in sportsmanship if nothing else. There were no meltdowns this year. Yay!
