Prom weekend #1

What an exciting day! I got to enjoy a nice lunch with my girlfriends followed by my first of two Prom weekends. I got the privilege of doing my cousin Marisa's makeup for the second year in a row for her prom. I love that Mary Kay offers such great products which allows me to give girls a professional makeup look for their prom night. She looked gorgeous and I know she will have a great time and her makeup will last all night long thanks to Mary Kay's finishing spray! 

Her dress was also beautiful! 

Spring has Arrived

It's a sure sign that Spring has arrived when I can take the boys to the park for a picnic. They always love having a picnic  and now that I have a super easy system down it's so easy. 

I start with two art boxes from the dollar store. I then make two seperate lunches inside, so that when we arrive at the park this is all we need (plus drinks) and they have a place to eat their food. 

There is no need for plates, or a ton of plastic bags. It's also easy clean up because everything is either eaten or thrown out to the birds. 

Evening project

If you only have a little time (an hour) and you are feeling creative and want a great end product, this is the project for you! 

I really wanted to make a house number sign for our home and was trying to decide the best way to make a "T". After a little creative thinking, and a little sewing, I think it turned out pretty well. 

Can You Hear the Rain?

Can You Hear the Rain? 

(Act out the poem on a warm rainy day.)

"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," can you hear the rain?
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," on the window pane.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," let's go out to play.
I just love to jump in puddles on a rainy day.
Little raindrops, "Splashing, splashing," all across my face.
Little raindrops, "Splashing, splashing,” splashing every place.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," do you hear that sound?
I just love to hear those raindrops falling to the ground.
In my red galoshes, I make lots of sploshes, jumping up and jumping down,
Turning 'round and 'round and 'round.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," suddenly, I stop.
Then I fall down on the ground and make a big "kerplop!"
Little raindrops "Splashing, splashing,” splashing on my face.
Little raindrops, "Splashing, splashing,” splashing every place.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," raindrops on the ground.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," I just love that sound.
