Yes I am still here. Gee I have not posted here since Monday. I have been just a bit overwhelmed with things I need to do. My house is very cluttered and I am trying to get on track with that. Sometimes I am overwhelmed to the point that I do nothing. Not good. So I am working in little areas at a time. I am not seeing huge changes yet, but hoping that by pushing on it will happen. Ever feel so overwhelmed you just don't know which way to start? That's where I am now. But I shall persevere!
Now for a little earth day fun. We celebrated our wonderful earth by making a few fun crafts and talking about ways we can protect our earth. The kids came up with some great ideas. We discussed recycling and why it was so important to do so. Justin is very earth conscious. We were at the part a few weeks back and Justin pulled a plastic bag and an old glove out of the lake all on his own. Took them to the trash receptacle.
We discussed not buying items that have lots of packaging and how having less packaging is good for the earth. Justin has told me several times in the past that he would like to go and collect trash along the road, at the beach where ever it is not supposed to be. I think we will spend some time doing this over the summer.

Here are a few fun things we did for Earth Day. I made the boys each a puzzle and laminated it. They had fun putting them together.
We played earth bingo!
We made coffee filter earths. This was so fun and easy! You just draw your deign on a coffee filter with a marker.....This is Justin's
and Kaden's
Then give it a couple sprays of water.....
as the water seeps all over the filter it creates these cool earths!
All of our earth day activities came from: DLTK's site.

Clutter can be so stressful. It just sneaks in and comes out of nowhere.
I love the coffee filter earths! Really cool!
