Spring Break Staycation...Again :)

This year for Spring Break we hung out at home again. We had lots of fun and loved having daddy home:)

We went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Let me just say it was ten times better than the parades in the small town we grew up in....BUT...Travis and I decided some rules that should be put in place for parades to make them more enjoyable. If you care to hear them just ask:)

This was my view walking back from the parade. (That we left before it was over.)Notice anything totally embarassing....HINT: The sucker stuck to his rear!

We went to Red Rock Canyon and did a little bit of exploring. Lorelei loved "climbing" & I love this picture of her and Travis. 

We had a picnic in the back of the Jeep at Red Rock. Lorelei LOVED it. She thought it was the greatest.

We went to tons of parks.

Lorelei did some work on her laptop and phone. She is a busy woman:)

We went to Lake Mead with some friends and cooked hot dogs and smores over the fire. We are looking forward to going back when the water is warm enough to swim in.

We love Spring Break!

Activity Day Prayer Reminder Rugs

I have been the Activity Day leader in my church for 3 years. So coming up with new fun activities can sometimes be challenging. I turn to Pinterest and the Internet all the time for help. I love being able to find so many fun ideas. So I thought I'd share an idea that I came up with and maybe it will help someone else out one day:)

 

I found these rugs at the dollar store. Pretty cute for a dollar huh. Then I created a stencil of the word pray and the flowers. I used contact paper (with the silhouette of course) to make the stencil. of the word Pray and the flowers. Then each girl had a stencil that they put on their rug and painted whatever colors they wanted. The girls had lots of fun and they turned out really cute!
