Flowers

Our Man Cub has hit that age where he likes to find things and bring them to me. Well, this week he found some pretty flowers and gave them to me! He was pretty excited and loved putting them in a vase with me. So please admire my very first flowers from my Man Cub :)

Bath Paints

So we are still enjoying winter ... or at least rain in this neck of the woods. I am still trying to keep the Man Cub busy, and I have been finding some awesome ideas online! This latest idea is super easy and really quick to clean up. We made bath paint. This was so fun and extended bath time by about 30 minutes. The Man Cub was pretty wrinkly by the time I got him out :) 

The Bath Paint requires 4 things...

1. cheap foam shaving cream
2. food coloring
3. a muffin pan (or any bowl would work)
4. paint brush (or basting brush if you are like me and don't own a paint brush)

Dispense shaving cream into muffin pan, add food coloring and mix until you get the desired color. Give to your child while the are in the bath and let them decorate the walls. When finished you just rinse it all off (including your child)!!! See simple :)

Sensory Bottles

Well, winter is officially here :( and keeping the Man Cub inside is driving me bonkers. He isn't being bad, just under foot all the time!! Luckily I had some projects I've been meaning to do with him. The first thing on my list was sensory bottles. I was a little skeptical about this one, I mean really how entertaining can filling a bottle be? Boy was I wrong, this lovely project took up almost an hour!! Anyways it was pretty simple, a bunch of small items from the dollar store and some emptied water bottles and you are all set.  

All of our supplies!

Can you see the excitement on the Man Cubs face?

The whole table :)

Admiring his work!

yes we ate lunch with them

The final line up .. Sparkles, pom-poms, ribbons, fish, and beads. 

My pretty menu plan

So this year one of my "resolutions" was to start a menu plan. I'm on the my third month of the menu plan and going strong!!! Obviously there are times when we miss some of the meals, but we just skip it and keep going. It really has made cooking so much simpler for me; no more planning just grab what I keep stocked and cook :) Anyways since I have been using it I though I should make it official by making a pretty menu to put on the fridge! Here it is .....

Not to fancy, but I am going to put it in a frame or laminate it so I can cross the meals out as we go and then erase and redo!  And yes we Menu Plan going to Grandma's house :)

Heigh-Ho

Yes, we love Snow White :)

Pinterest Love - no mess paint

Once again I am joining Pam over at Everyday Snapshots for Pinning it Down. 

I know its important to let our little ones experiment with new things, but I hate a big mess! So when I found this magical idea for no mess finger paint .... wow PERFECT :)
