Still wish we were there....
We had the wonderful opportunity to go to Beaches Resort in Turks and Caicos. It was very relaxing with great weather, lots of fun things to do and it was beautiful!! So I have to share some pictures we took while we were there:
Soft, white sand. Clear blue water.
This was the view out of our bedroom glass doors: We were right next to one of the pools and very close to the beach. It was great!!
Lots of trees...
Lighted Pools at night...yes those are tables in the pool...the bars were in the pools, too...so Pina Coladas, Strawberry Daiquiris and Miami Vices (and some Diet Coke) while we swam :) Of course there were bars available all over the resort, so we always had a cold refreshing drink to relax with. Ah...
The lazy river at the waterpark had gorgeous landscaping. It was so relaxing to sit and float....
Beautiful walkways...
So relaxing...we didn't want to leave....

Birthday Blocks
I actually finished this project a while ago, but I'm really slow at getting it posted. It sits on our shelf in our dining room for birthdays at our house. It adds a lot of fun for the celebrations!

Changing CTR Ring Color
My friend and I got together and repainted the green CTR rings:
After soaking the green paint in nail polish remover, the green color came right off leaving a silver ring. Then we used nail polish and painted our kids' favorite colors. They were so excited with the new colors and have been wearing them more often now!

Rag Blankets for the Boys
I found this construction flannel last fall and couldn't resist buying it for the boys' room. And this month I finally got around to making them...2 of them both twin size the the two oldest boys' beds. They were so excited. I used 2 yard strips for the width and varied the height of the colored strips. The orangish yellow strip actually has a circle print to it, but it is kinda hard to see it in the photo.

Pirate Birthday Party
We had fun having a pirate birthday at our house this month.
I made each of my kids a pirate hat. I found the pattern on Simple Simon & Company.
My sister helped me make the daggers for Christmas presents. We found the idea on Pinterest and my awesome sister drew up a pattern. They worked up really fast and have been one of the boys' favorite toys.
I also made an eye patch and a money bag for his "treasure". The treasure box is one that I had as a child. I freshened it up with some black and gold paint. The kids have had hours of fun with it.
I found a printable pirate map and we went searching for the chest of treasure in the afternoon. We pretended to go through a swampy alligator area (my hubby clapped his arms together like a gater for him) we also used his dagger to fight off pretend wild monkeys that protected the treasure and at last found it and lugged it upstairs to the "boat". It is great that my kids have such active imaginations. It made it a lot of fun and was easy on our budget.
And of course we had to have cake. He wanted a treasure map:
