Olivia turns 2!


Olivia doesn't turn 2 until tommorow on the 8th, but because of Easter, we did it a day early with Kaden who turned 8. Kaden is Dustin's sister's boy.

I got Poot's cake idea off Pinterest of course!!






We all had a good time until the end when we had to call an ambulance for my mom. She was acting weird and her speech was strange. As it turned out, the doctors believe it was a mini stroke and a form of dementia. My mom kinda likes to drink more than she likes taking her medicine, so it's not a good thing.

Bunny Bait

 For daycare, I decided to try a friend's recipe for bunny bait. I was supposed to use Chex Mix instead of Kix, but I had that on hand and the kids like Kix more. Here's the ingredient list:

Kix
White Popcorn
1/2 bag Pink Candy Wafers (found at Walmart or Hobby Lobby)
1/2 bag White Candy Wafers
Marshmallows
Pretzel Sticks
Easter Sprinkles
Tin Foil
Bunny Bags
Ribbon or twistie ties
Scrapbook Paper

So first things first, you pop your corn and then on a foil lined cookie sheet, combine the popcorn, kix, and pretzels. 
Melt your white candy wafers first and evenly pour over the mix.

I then put gloves on (because this gets messy!!!) and mixed it up until it was all coated.
 Melt the pink candy wafers and pour over the top (use a spoon so you get it all over nice and evenly...you're not going to mix this up). And then add the M&Ms and sprinkles while it is still hot so that they stick.


Once Cooled, break the bait apart and put into bags. Tie with a ribbon and add the bunny Bait Tag.

To make the tags, I used scrapbook paper and found some bunny clipart on the internet. I added a box to make it look like the bunny was holding a sign and put "From: Olivia M and From: Noah M" to make it a little more special. Then I simply copied/pasted several to a page and printed them out. I used craft scissors to add a decorative look, then hole punched the tag and tied them with a twistie tie. Ribbon will work too.

Pootie was none too happy to wear her easter outfit to daycare...poor baby.
