Springtime Play




This Spring has been crazy.  The weather that is.  Freezing one day and hot the next.  One of our favorite things to do when the weather is cold or rainy outside is get out the play-dough.  M&M got this ice cream Play-dough shop for Christmas and they love it!  They make me ice cream cones, sundaes and cookies.  It is messy but literally hours of fun for them.



We made this cute caterpillar craft when we started really feeling Spring in the air.  The grass was turning green and flowers were blooming and we were seeing all kinds of new bugs, frogs, and birds.  I love these kinds of crafts because they did it almost entirely by themselves with just a little assistance from me.  They named the new caterpillars Oogly and Googly!






This was the best new Springtime arrival.  Papa fixed up a used electric truck for them and brought it down on a recent visit.  They immediately named it the "New Monster Truck".  After they each got a few operating instructions from Daddy and Papa, they were off...at least until the battery ran out and had to be charged!  Springtime is definitely in the air and we are ready!
