Crafting it up!

I got really crafty this spring, it was so much fun! It all started with an egg wreath for the front door. I saw the idea on this blog and convinced my friends that they should also have egg wreaths. It looked so cute on the blog, but making it ended up being quite a process. First we had to go shopping for the stuff (hello just-opened Hobby Lobby!), then came priming and painting the eggs (we got spray paint all over my front sidewalk, sorry landlord!), and finally putting it all together.

Here's a picture of my friends on the day we put them together.

And here's the finished product! I love it and can't wait to put it up again next Easter!

Next came jelly bean topiaries, which were so adorable!

Then a pink peep bunny bunting.

And finally some blossom branches.

Phew! I'm not sure where I found the time for all of that, but I had so much fun!

First Steps

Well, before I start catching up, I wanted to post this video of Ethan's first steps! I was so excited that it took me a minute to set up some video so I could show his daddy when he got home. I feel a little bad that he cries, it was about the 6th time I'd made him re-do his "first steps" but I had to get a video of it! I'm so proud of him!

I'm back!

Since I last updated my blog so many things have happened... I got my craft on decorating for spring, hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends, baked lots of yummy treats, celebrated Easter, went to the Tulip Festival, planned a graduation BBQ for Mark, spent a day in NYC with my hubby without the kiddos, Mark graduated from law school, said goodbye to my friends in Albany, moved to Pennsylvania, enjoyed a day at the zoo with the kids, been working non-stop fixing up the house we moved into, and have been enjoying summer. Get ready to hear all about it!!!
