Flower Child

This was totally Lucy's idea - she came up with the idea to use the flowers she picked (which there were many) for hair & I love that she used the flower stems for the arms. We were talking about ovals this morning, hence the oval ears (with earrings of course).

Family Portraits


Lucy and I thought it would be fun to draw some pictures - this morphed into me drawing a basic picture of the family. Well, actually I drew 3.5 of the people. Lucy drew Georgia's body (see top picture). While I was getting dinner ready, Lucy asked if she could add some detail to the picture - see second picture for results - cracks me up. Love my "spike" fingers, the bow in Georgia's hair and Dada's jeans - not sure what happened there. Oh, and Lucy's shoes. She liked my high heels so thought she should have a pair too. Love it!

Busy Bunny


Instead of easter baskets for the adults, the EB gave tiny bunny boxes filled with Denman Island chocolates. Thanks Martha for the cute bunny box template.

The "surprise balls" are a lot of fun to make. All you need are some little presents (chocolate eggs for this one) and crepe paper. Simply wrap the crepe paper around an egg at various intervals until you have a nice sized ball (these ones are the size of a large orange). Opening the balls were almost as much fun as looking through the baskets.

Happy Easter

I don't think there is anything cuter than 4 year old art work. Love this bunny!
