Happy Easter!

Let's go for a ride!
Can you say sugar overload?

Hello blog friends! I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter! My kids have had such a great time with the egg hunts, Easter baskets and the nice weather! They were so appreciative of what the Easter Bunny brought them. It was such fun watching them opening up the plastic eggs with the dollar bills tucked inside. The golden egg had a five dollar bill in it! I know I will be picking up Easter grass and candy wrappers for the next month! Oh well, it was worth it to see their big grins when they went through their baskets.

Happy Easter to all!

Puppets and Easter Bunny toys!

This is a recycled rock candy stick that I painted to make a cute little Easter bunny creation.

This was a variation on the theme. I made this with a paper mache box and a dowel rod I rescued from a wall cloth calendar.

Here is the puppet I made at the Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre yesterday with my boys. I was going for an Irish lass but the boys thought she looked liked the Poison Ivy from Batman.:)

This is what the place looked like from the outside. (close up shot of the way cute Owl)

The front of the theatre, it is located in the town of West Liberty, Iowa. (Click on picture to see the detail better)

The boys and I had such a great time at the Puppet Theatre working on our finger puppets and the foam core stage. They each got their own stage to decorate and they made several puppets. I absolutely love doing things with the boys. The cost was $10 for each kid. Parents were free!

What do you like to do with your kids? I'm always looking for ideas. Especially those that don't cost and arm and a leg to do. :) Spring break is next week, yikes!
