April Fun Outside

We were SO blessed to be given two hand-me-down bikes this year from friends and we brought our little red trike to Korea with us. So that meant we only had to buy ONE bike this year for all four kids to be able to ride together! Faithy was the lucky one who got the new bike this year since we didn't have one that fit her. But everyone was happy just to have something to ride and now that we are living on post, there is a lot more room to ride all around.

Taking a break with Dad. :)

He can't reach reach the pedals yet, but he loves 'driving' while Mom or Dad pushes!

We did an Easter egg hunt one day last week, but the big kids were too fast and I didn't get many pictures of them. But Faithy took her time and so I got some good ones of her. :)

Samuel wasn't sure what to think about these eggs with treats inside. He opened and dumped several of them on the ground!

Here is Samuel is flying his Space Shuttle, too cute!

Yarn Nest Project

We found a great project to use some of all the wonderful yarn that Oma has been sending us!

We cut lots of pieces of yarn, all different lengths and dipped them in watered down glue.

Then we wrapped them around bowls (glass works best incase you want to put them in the oven for faster drying). We wrapped the around and over the top, layering and weaving them all together to form a nest.

Giving an almost 5 year old boy a bowl full of glue turned out to be MUCH messier than I had anticipated! LOL! :) He loved every minute of it. And was very slow about washing his hands afterwards because he enjoyed peeling the dry glue off of his fingers way more than cleaning them with soap and water. :) Boys!

Our completed nests (upside down). We let them dry for a couple of days.

The second day I put them in the oven on low for about an hour to help finish drying them out. Then we used them to hold some of our lovely dyed Easter eggs. :) I think our nests turned out pretty neat!
