Pre Easter Celebration!

The day before Easter, a local community church held their annual Easter Celebration. There were crafts, games, worship, and an egg hunt. The kids had so much fun! The other little one with the basket head is Caleb (held by his dad, Jeremiah). There are more pics of Noah egg hunting, but they are trapped on Bryan's cell phone! The kids were all split up by age groups, so Bryan was with Noah and I was with Nick during the egg hunt. What a great family day!

Craft Time!

Craft time at the Crews household! I had such grand ideas for these little wooden cut outs and I have yet to get anything really done with them. Oh well...one day! They did turn out super cute though! These cute little aprons come in handy! Got them at the dollar tree.

Yumm Yumm! A Day In the Kitchen!

So I know how it looks....isn't that how Nick broke his arm a few months back?....Sitting on the counter top is a dangerous thing! lol But this is Nick we are talking about and "Danger" is his middle name! He loves to sit on the counter and watch/help when I am working in the kitchen. :) Not so bad most days....today however he decided he NEEDED to help with making Kool-Aid....thank you Daddy for introducing this nice sugary drink to the kids. ;) lol Which is even scarier than him sitting on the counter! Do you know what that red powder can do in terms of stains!! lol Then when I turned my back he had decided that a potato would make a wonderful hat! Silly Willy! Noah had been playing outside all morning...being a good little man...when I turned to check on him, he was runnning around shirtless! Apparently a "centipede" (or what Noah would classify as a centipede) had crawled into his shirt and being shirtless fixed this situation. So I couldn't resist the muscles pose! ;) My baby needs some sun anyways! Look at that pale skin!

I decided today that I was going to have a baking day. The kids helped a little, distracted a little and ate a lot! :) I made Applesauce bread...which the kids loved! I used whole wheat flour. It was such a simple recipe as well. Then I made Mini Apple Pies....mmm mmm good!

T-Ball Opening Day! March 27th

Noah's opening  day for t-ball was this Saturday! It was a gorgeous day and the boys all had so much fun! What a way to start the new season! I am team mom, so of course I had all kinds of work to do that day...running the booth, making sure pictures went smoothly..etc. Our fund raising booth was sponsored by the US Army....ironic I know! lol We had their football toss and a few Army give away items. The kids kept coming back because they just had to beat their last toss!! It was so funny.

New Bed!

We got the kids their first bunk bed! It is a twin over a full...Noah has the top twin bed and Nick, oddly enough has the bottom full bed! It's funny how the smallest guy in the house gets the second to largest bed in the house! lol They came in three big boxes which I thought would be great fun for Noah but ironically enough he didn't want anything to do with them. Nick on the  other hand had a blast making the boxes into a jumpy and slide!

Quick Learner!

How cute is Nick?! A few days ago I had a lot going on and needed Nick to be entertained for a little while....so I brought out the safety scissors and some scraps of paper and let him cut them to pieces. He had never cut before but with a little help from Mommy and some practice, he was doing just fine.

Another Teaching Moment! :)

 So you say to yourself....what does the science of touch, cupcakes, shaving cream, and food coloring have to do with each other? Well I would say....EVERYTHING!  lol The kids and I were studying the sense of touch so as one of the many things we did that day, we used food coloring to color shaving cream in a cupcake pan and then went crazy painting with it! It mushed and smooshed between our fingers and was such fun to play with. It took a couple of days to dry but once it did, it leaves a nice marbled/tie-died look to it! :)
