The last two weekends have brought us amazing weather. A relished break from the cold. You just have to get through the mornings to enjoy the after lunch warmth. So how do the kids get through the mornings?
#1 Way: Monsterville. When your kids come down the stairs like this...it leaves you wondering one thing...where DID they put all the toys that WERE stored in these bins???
yikes!

#2 Way: Enrichment. One of us parents organize the kids for something cool to do...this time we played with milk, detergent and food coloring. Makes you almost hungry,
or not...

| food coloring dribbled into milk |
 |
| Jack adds a drop of dish washing soap to break the bonds... |
 |
| like a flashback to my tie-dye years! |
#3 Way: Crafts.
 |
| We MADE this doll. It is now in six pieces but We Actually Made It!!! :) |
#4 Way: SUGAR. After the stress of making the doll we decided to reward ourselves with a little treat. We had a factory line going with Mom manning the cooking device; Bronwyn frosting the pops; and Jack rolling them in sugar.
 |
| Kids ate most of the toppings...but Jack managed to get a few sprinkles on the pops |
 |
| Delicious! |
Way #4: Pranks. Quick...you see a boy walk by with a ball of string and a zip lock bag full of water. What do you do?
Put on your rain coat or tackle him fast? Both. He was planning to fasten the string to the Ziploc and hang upside down from a pulley system he made on his bedroom door. Then when his dad came in to check on him...SPLASH! Dad, you owe me one for catching this in time!

So...there it is...how we have spent our mornings waiting for Spring to finally arrive. I don't know about you...but I'm ready to get outside! Let's go!
