Another project for Zora

>
I got an idea online to make an ABC matching game with Baby food lids, but I decided to try milk and juice lids. Here's what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good.
I used stickers for the letters. I put the capital letters on the lids and the lowercase letters on the plastic bag.
At first I was going to use cardboard for the base, but I thought the bag would be easier to use for storing the lids. It's just an old bag that had doll clothes in it that I bought at Walmart. I'm glad I saved it. It works perfect.
Now Zora can match the lowercase letters with the capital ones. She is pretty excited about it!

Check out our new home!

So we will be moving at the end of May to Blackfoot, Idaho for the 2nd half of John's medical school where he works in the hospital. Yeah! We have a new blog so you can look at the home we'll be renting. We're so excited to have a bigger space, a trampoline, and a much newer home! Here's the link: http://johnhometolive.blogspot.com/

You can find the link under randomness on the right side too!

My Easter Decoration

So each month I try to make a holiday decoration to put in my home. This was an idea I found online. It was cheap to make and easy to create. I think it turned out great. All I used for the base was cardboard with plastic eggs and hot glue on top. Then I stuffed grass in the cracks to cover the extra cardboard.

Two's more Trouble

So the kids woke up too early this morning, so I turned on Sesame Street and left them in the living room so I could try to get a bit more sleep. Usually they will eventually come into my room when they are bored or need something but that didn't happen this morning. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking I better check on them until John got up for school. I assumed he was keeping an eye on them so I didn't worry anymore. Next thing I know, he comes in and says, "Hey Babe, the kids got into..." The first thing I think is Isaac was playing in Zora's little potty again so when he said "Cool Whip," I was relieved and not that upset. So Isaac got the most of it. Zora covered his head with the stuff, along with our chair, the TV, my phone, and a box. It was pretty funny. We're not sure if they were eating it and realized it was more fun to play in or what they were up to, but they are definitely creative.

The best part of the story is when I was getting after Zora for making a big mess, she says, "Isaac did it too!" So I have two troublemakers now!
