Spring Break - Pinterest Style!

So, from about 7 (when Lexi gets up) until lunch, I'm looking for ways to fill the time with the kids.  They can play by themselves some, but they need some entertainment, too.  Since we aren't big on TV, I have to find things to keep them busy.  Trying to find things they can both do (given their age difference) can be a challenge.  Today, we completed 3 activities all via Pinterest.


 1. Crayon picture - Lexi and I did most of the work, though Jack did enjoy watching it melt.  Here's the website.












2. Coasters  - We did leave Jack out of this. However, he had fun running around on the porch so at least he was contained.  Lexi is super excited about have coasters for her room.  We still have to seal them, but pretty happy about how they turned out!  Here's the website.

 3. Flower candies - This we actually did together.  Well Lexi and I unwrapped, placed, and created the food while Jack snacked on pretzels and tried to grab the chocolate.  Still lots of fun!  Here's the website.
















I know most of you would have liked more pictures of the projects in progress, but with a 6 and 2 year old, my job is more about safety and survival and pictures are an after thought.  Sorry!  Now, what will we get into tomorrow?
