(Belated) Fun, Colorful, Make the Kiddos Smile Easter Decor

Here's a follow up to my last post. More pics of what I managed to take a picture of during the 2 weeks of sickness not including my dining room Easter tablescape which I forgot to take a picture of my Easter decor.

"Happy Easter" Banner I printed in 2009 from a blog that, sadly, I can't remember the name of nor find by searching the web

Thread wrapped eggs I made back in 2007 (or before) following this tutorial that was in the Martha Stewart Living magazine that year.

Fun, Colorful, Make the Kiddos Smile Easter Decor

In the first picture, you can see a number of brightly colored objects lying on the white table runner. Those are Easter eggs that "Sis" made all on her own accord. She sat at the table for hours drawing egg shapes and "decorating" each and every one with a unique design full of brightly colored zigzags, polkadots, stripes, flowers, and anything else her sweet little heart desired. I was one proud crafty mama : )

I'm Late! I'm Late! For a very important date!

Just to be clear... Yes, I totally realize that Easter has come and gone like almost two weeks ago gone :) but I never got around to posting pics of my Easter decor mainly due to two straight weeks of strep and a stomach bug in our house :( I wish it had been a case of "buttosis" like my little guy likes to diagnose me with after watching an episode of "Doc McStuffins" on Disney Jr, but unfortunately, this sickness wasn't one to be cured with a hug and kiss and a jellybean ;) So, now that everyone is healthy and back in action and the house doesn't look like the Tazmanian Devil tore through I can post my pics! There's nothing wrong with being fashionably late, right?!

Don't mind the almost empty jar of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs : ) 

I needed something to keep me going these past couple of weeks! Plus, I swear the eggs are like 100 times more addicting than the original Reese's cups, right?! 

Until next time...

Bowling for Chicks Game

Your "littles" will love this game, mine do!

Directions:

Set up empty raisin box chicks like bowling pins. Place a small rock or bouncy ball inside the plastic egg for added weight. Bowl away! This is a great way to show your kids that recycling can be fun!

Until next time...
