Chicks, band aids and brooms...Oh My!

I have been a total slacker on doing crafts and other fun stuff with the kids. So today we made these cute handprint Easter chicks that I saw, where else...on Pinterest :)

They were all so excited...and of course wanted to paint their hands all by themselves.

For anyone else who plans to try these, I suggest using bigger paper. I had to let them dry then cut them out and glue them onto another paper just so the whole chick would fit.

While the paint was drying Lily walked over to me with a band aid taped over her mouth. She mumbled to help her take it off, but kept putting it right back on...I was OK with that LOL :)

Did anyone else try the broom thing tonight? This was honestly the first time I had heard of it, or maybe just the first time I was actually paying attention. Some say that due to the Earth's axis or how the planets line up you can get a broom (and even an egg) to stand up by itself. I have heard this is bunk but who knows. I tried to stand one of our brooms up and as soon as I set it down, without messing with the brush or trying to balance it what so ever, it stood all by itself. It was still standing an hour later when Jason got home, so he had to try it with our other broom and it worked for him too :) For whatever reason it was doing it it was very strange...just about gave me goosebumps LOL.

Our finished chicks...super cute!

Lily speechless....wow!

Jason worked a double today, so it was a long one. Thankfully the nanny was with us today so the kids had a lot of fun playing with her. The trio do not love getting in trouble but are all about dolling out the punishments. The newest funny thing going on is sending the dogs to time out. If the dogs are in the kitchen during meal time the trio have started yelling at them and saying "out doggie, get out, get in time out doggie"...it's pretty funny, poor dogs LOL. We did some more Easter crafts today, some cute little hand print chicks. The trio got upset when it was time to put them up to dry, they wanted to "pet my baby chick." To get their minds off the chicks we handed out some paper, crayons and stickers. Lily got a craft pack of Tinkerbell stuff for her birthday last year, we set it aside waiting for her to get a tad older. I pulled it out today and gave her some of the stickers. It was the cutest most sweet moment. I handed her the sheet of stickers, it was full of all things Tinkerbell. She took it and did a double take, her eyes got wide and she started three different statements breaking each one, she was literally speechless. It went something like this... "Wow that's" ... "Awww it's my"...."Oh Momma it's beeeutiful" She kept gasping between every statement and then hugged the paper LMAO. She put all the stickers on some construction paper and kept calling it Pixie Hollow :) Hanging out with "Tabbibda" They are puzzle crazy! Every time she finishes one Lily says "Momma wanna try aggaaiiinn" Jericho was sleeping so Hayden was ssshhhhing us. Lily's Tinkerbell stickers. Putting the eyes and beak on their baby chicks.
