Practical and Pretty Too!

I have been wrapping the last few bridal shower gifts with kitchen towels.  I did it mostly because I didn't like the wrapping options at the store I was at.  So I found plain white kitchen towels and accented them with ribbon you can buy in the craft section that comes with a matching rose.  The flower clips on which makes it super easy to use.  I also found easy to do napkin folding and made a flower.  If you can fold corners in you can make this napkin flower.

Eggs

Take a look at the second egg from the left.  It's brown... 

Here it is in the center with the uncolored eggs our hens laid.

We purposely bought store eggs (aka city eggs) so we could have white ones.

Then the boys wanted to mix colors.. which gave us this brown egg.

It's the same color as the ones our hens lay.

Ironically, we got one white egg last week.

One of the hidden eggs.

The black blob at the bottom is Rosie.

We had to keep a close eye on her so she wouldn't eat the eggs.

She almost got one.

Another hiding spot.  Rosie keeping guard.

Two boys resting after all that hard work.

Seven

Our little boy turned 7.  He's not so little anymore.

He requested a lemon cake this year.

I actually found an egg-less recipe that worked really well.

He has a great interest in Legos.  (What boy doesn't?)

He's diligently working on his lighthouse.

He would build a little and then go outside to play laser tag.

(See picture below.)

Build some more...  play more laser tag.

We got Connor a set of Nerf Lazertag guns.

To say these guns are a blast would be a gross understatement.

We'd like to get another set so mom and dad can play too!

They have quite a long distant range.. like 200+ feet...

which is great for our large front yard.
