Surviving Spring Break...


I had the best intentions this week. I planned on getting all these great Easter recipes cooked up & posted before Sunday. How I figured this would happen with my two Bozos home on Spring Break? I don't know.
Obviously, we are home...no warm, turquoise water getaways for us. To top it all off, it's pretty much rained daily. All this rain + two wild boys indoors = a frazzled Mama. But, I've managed to keep them entertained with some help from a few fun activities we've pulled out this week. I thought I'd share them as they double as great Easter gift ideas...
{a.} All three of us have been enjoying these "smelly" coloring pages by Crayola...it's a good smell by the way! {b.} My current favorite "board game", YamSlam! It's so much fun & addictive. {c.} The kids iPod Touch's are a lifesaver. Their favorite app of the moment? Tap Town! {d.} These "Create a Wooden Family" Kits supply hours of fun & are cute as can be! {e.} My little guy loves making books, so this Book in a Box Kit, which produces little accordion books within a box is perfect for him! {f.} Remember Spirograph Art? I particularly love this Hypotrochoid Art Kit because not only does it teach Math, but it travels well...perfect for restaurants!
Another great activity this week? Coloring Easter Eggs! More on that coming soon...

You are a much better mommy than me. My kids were on spring break too and I put them in camps. Three of the days anyway. I just can't keep two little boys busy enough!
