The Girls Art

My girls love to draw, color, cut, paste, staple and make stuff. When I had to get a new cell phone about a month ago (old one died) the girls were so excited to discover the sketch pad.

Now anytime we are out and about and they are sitting for more than 2 minutes they want to draw.

Tonight, they were at a Home and School Club meeting with me. When O was done with her homework she started to draw. She completely drained the battery. She drew 6 images. Yikes. Stupid phone. Battery should last longer than that.

Here are the 17 images CK and O have drawn on my cell phone in the last month.

How can I tell them no when they leave these beautiful colorful images.....and notes of love.

Our Family Field Trip

O's first grade teacher has a dream. A dream that every one of her students goes to college. During Spring Break the students have a college project to get them interested and excited about college. I think it's a fabulous idea.


The project consists of interviewing two people who have graduated from college and a few optional items. For O's optional item we choose to visit a college campus. Where else by mommy and daddy's alma mater.

We had a great time walking around campus and showing the girls around. So much has changed.

What a fun day at SJSU. Thank you Mrs. C for a great project.

Easter Memories

One of my most vivid memories from childhood is Easter at my grandmother's house. Every Easter, with out fail, she would have Peeps. I only remember the yellow ones at Grandma's house.

Peeps are not my favorite to eat. My grandmother must love them. In my mind's eye I can see the yellow Peeps in their boxes sitting on my grandmother's round living room table. I don't remember ever eating them. Just seeing them there.

Still to this day when I see Peeps I think of Grandma. For that reason, I love Peeps.

In honor of my Grandma the girls and I made Peeps Krispies Treats to bring to Easter at my parents house. I found the recipe online and thought they looked fun (so colorful) and sounded good.

They are yummy. Even if you're not a Peeps fan, they are a little sweeter than normal Rice Krispies Treats. I think they're going to be a hit.

Happy Easter
