Go Tigers!!!

So those of you who know me know I'm very not crafty, but I like to try. 2 years ago we took Marisa to her first Tiger's game so of course I had to make a mini Tigers shirt. So I printed off their logo, traced it on the shirt with a pen and puffy painted over it. Here was the finished result:


I know, not pretty right? But we had fun anyway and I was still pretty proud of myself.


We next week we are taking the girls to a Tiger's game when we are in So Cal so I thought to myself, self, you can do better. So I turned to my SUPER creative genious sister in law Mandi, and of course she had the perfect solution. Freezer paper!

I had never heard of this before, but you can easily make iron on stencils out of Reynolds freezer paper!  So I got my Cricut out, cut the fancy D which is the Detroit Tigers logo on the freezer paper...


Ironed it on the shirts, and I was supposed to use fabric paint but I was too impatient to wait until Hobby Lobby was open, so I used good old fashioned puffy paint...


Painted over the stencil...


and TA DA! A gazillion times better!


I was so dang proud of myself I have to say. For me, this was quite an achievement :)

Add some bows of course, and my girls are ready! GO TIGERS!!!

Happy Easter!

We had such a fun Easter this year!

Easter crafts...

Egg critters

Fun at Grandma's house...

Reading books with Uncle Devin...




Great-Grandma and Marisa...

Mommy and Megan...


Treats from the Easter Bunny...
For future reference, it may sound really cute if the Easter Bunny wants to sneak in the kids rooms at night and leave their basket next to their bed, but tell him that it will scare certain little girls and they will end up sleeping in Mom and Dad's bed the next night!  The thought of anyone sneaking in Marisa's room while she is sleeping was too much for her :)






Playdough from Grandma Moss...




Way too much fun!

Happy Easter!!!

I just thought the girls looked cute all dressed up for church this week.  I can't believe how big they are getting!  Where did my babies go?

Princess and the Frog

 
Marisa and I went on a fun mommy daughter date to the movies.  (Megan hung out with Grandpa for a couple hours, thanks dad!)  She did really well at sitting in my lap with her Princess Tiana doll.  The only problem was that Tiana is a frog for most of the movie, and she didn't quite get that.  She kept asking me "Where did Tiana go?"
