Crafts and Pigtails

Well, with having Ivy home with me for the past few weeks we got a lot of craft time in and we made our Easter Decorations.  We did not do any biblical Easter Decorations this year as I couldn't think of anything age appropriate but I have  a few ideas for next year.  It was all bunnies, eggs, and a duck.  The only thing I had to buy for these projects was Easter grass as we used items we already had around the house.  We used paint, construction paper, card board, stickers, glitter glue, eyes, and a few other small items.  Pictures speak more then words so here are a few pics of Ivy decorating and having a fun time!!! 

She is so serious and concentrating in these pics.  These were Easter eggs made from construction paper that she decorated and we used some on a wreath we made and some on the windowsill.  Here are a few pics of the wreath we made for the front door.  The only thing missing is a cotton ball for a tail.  Our bunny has a defect!!!

Then we made some decorations for the windowsill and she enjoyed painting the toilet paper rolls while I held them.  She painted her own hands and I helped her stamp them on the paper.  She just loves crafts.  I need to get more items when I come back to the states.  Craft stuff is either hard to find or is expensive here. 

 

 

Just to add some extra pics.  We had a gorgeous weekend this weekend.  We all enjoyed ourselves out at the park then a nice dinner. Sunday we went to the zoo.  I have been trying to do more with Ivy's hair as it gets longer. Here are few cute pics of her in pigtails!!!

 

 

Here is a comparison of her standing in the same place last year ( a few months later)  doing the same thing as she was this weekend.

Just for fun!!  Today Ivy and I went to the park. We were playing in the sandbox.  I decided to get somewhat creative and here is what I made in the sand!!!

 

Just in case anyone was wondering.  Ivy had her appointment last Friday.  They didn't do any tests but said all looks good with Ivy.  She is finished her antibiotics so assuming they are correct things should be fine.  If not it will return I would assume in the next few days or so.  I am feeling pretty positive!!!  Have a nice day and I hope you all are getting some nice weather and getting out !!!
