School Hunt and Bird Nest Treats

Today was hunt number two for the girls. Hadley was so excited that she didn't even mind me taking pictures of her before school. She kept saying "Easter" and "Bunny" all the way to school as she had her Easter basket in hand. These pictures are proof that she can smile and can sometimes tolerate my picture taking addiction.

My neighbor had asked me to watch her girls today after school so I had gone and gotten some things for us to make an after school treat. I saw these on another blog and decided to try it. All you do is take a stick of butter and melt it in a pan. Add a bag of mini marshmallows, and then dump in a few sleeves of shredded wheat cereal (The rectangle kind) crushed. It's kind of like a rice crispy treat. I dumped a spoonful on each wax paper and they made a birds nest. Then we added some robin eggs and voila. Definitely not a healthy after school snack, but they loved it and it was easy and fun. :) And I may just LOVE Robin Eggs...so it may have been a selfish reason for me to have a treat too.

Cute idea. I want to try them now too! Hadley looks so much like Gavin in the second to last picture. Love the smiles!

Love the pic of Hadley right in the middle of all the big kids! She and Morgan are at such a fun age...old enough to do a lot of the things the big kids do but can still be a baby when you need it :)
PS: The girl who did Morgan's 2 year pics gave me a CD with all 150 pics on it so I don't have to choose...I can print them all anywhere! It was a craaaaaazy good deal! Needless to say, I need to go buy more picture frames!
