Mini Egg Baskets

I know these are a little late for Easter this year, but who can resist a little egg cozy?

Look for them in my Etsy shop in the next few months.

A Little Easter Fun

 Every holiday the Hubby complains about Peeps.

I don't know what he has against the puffy little things.  After all, they are just marshmallows covered in colored sugar.  What's not to LOVE?

So, I thought it only fitting that I fill a jar FULL of Peeps to send him off in the morning when he leaves and greet him in the afternoon when he returns!  

 ***Added benefit of having a tall jar of Peeps in plain sight...the promise of one is a great motivator for a 2 and 4 year-old!***

First Class Eggs

This weekend the kiddos and I took a minute to assemble some Easter treats for their cousins.  I saw this last year somewhere (I wish I could remember where) and thought it was a darling idea.  Hopefully all 3 eggs will end up in the right place.

 

We started with Jumbo Plastic Eggs - these we had on hand from last Easter.  Then we filled each egg with goodies: candy, stickers, balloons, a hair bow, and dress-up gloves (thanks Target $1 Spot).

We taped around the center, added labels, and slapped on some postage.  Since these eggs weighted less than 2 oz. it only cost about $1.45 to send these little cuties. See that nice roll of postage stamps in the tin box?  Those are from my WEDDING!  Yes, my wedding nearly 7 years ago.  They're only worth about $.37 cents each.  This project seemed like an easy way to start using up some of the stamps! 

This kids had fun helping me assemble and stamp these.  I can't wait for the the postman to deliver these eggs.  I guess in a way it makes him a little like the Easter Bunny!

Since having my little kiddos, I discovered my favorite time of day is late at night, when everyone is sleeping. No one to ask me for food. No stinky diapers to chase down and change. No fights over toys. Just peace and quiet.

I've spent the past few nights crocheting into the early morning hours. Making these little darlings...

I've had a slight obsession with crochet baskets lately.

I blame Ravelry.
There are so many great patterns and talented people on that site.

Look for this particular set of Basket/Egg Caddy's in my Etsy shop soon.

I hope to be back up and running within the next week or so!

Our Easter Round-Up

Together with a few friends we had a fun, little, Easter Party for our Little Munchkins. Our party goers were all under 4-years-0ld.

This made the Egg Hunt so much more fun. Even with all the eggs hidden in plain sight, we still had to point little ones towards the bright colored, treat-filled, plastic eggs.

Because we made a Halloween Tree in October, and we had a Christmas Tree in December, my Munchkin now thinks we need a tree for every holiday.

A dead branch, some spray paint, and a few egg ornaments later, we had us an Easter Tree.



Little fingers decorated plastic eggs with Easter stickers (thank you Target $1 Spot), and no messy dye to clean up.



A friend came up with a fun cupcake decorating activity for the kids. Perfect for their short attention spans.



Who doesn't love to dip marshmallow's in sprinkles?




He decorated this one himself. Poor bunny, I'm afraid it might be blind in one eye.



Last, I made up some little treat buckets (thank you again Target $1 Spot) filled with treats, stickers, a ribbon wand, and some fun little finger puppets I put together last night.

I decided not to fight blogger for flipping my pics. So, just turn your head a bit - you'll get the idea. :)

Happy Easter!
