{spring break sanity}

Having all three kids home during Spring Break has proved to be quite the interesting experience. It seems like it has been waaay longer than a few days--- probably because most of last week was spent taking care of my sickies. The good news is that health seems to be restored back into our home. So this week I have put the boys to work, cleaning out their rooms, organizing toys in the basement, and lots of odds and ends around the house. Today I thought some Spring crafting would be a fun way to wrap up the week. And tomorrow, thankfully I get a little break for the afternoon (minus kids) as I go out for a little celebration lunch with some friends. 

Thank you Dollar Tree. They had everything we needed to make a Springy little craft this afternoon.

Busy boys constructing the *trees* for the bird nests to sit on top of. 

Painting the eggs with great care.

Glittered and painted eggs

Glass trees filled with shiny green *rocks*

Brown vanilla scented potpourri for the soil

Green bendy branches 

Stickers applied (some more generously than others) 

Birds and nests

Quite proud of their creations

And lastly...my little Piggy Princess. I found this plastic little crown at Dollar Tree and it couldn't have fit more perfectly today. One of Mia's many nicknames, strangely enough is piggy princess. I got the t-shirt on clearance at Old Navy a few weeks ago, and with her princess crown, her nickname has come to life this afternoon. 

 Love it!
