March's Box of Fun

Our March Box of Fun was full of books to read and activities to do while we were on the road. We spent the first week and a half of March at Disneyworld (Elliott had a business trip in Orlando), so we had a long way to travel.

E(1) was the most excited about the personalized magnetic paper dolls (I had to watch her closely, so she wouldn't tear them). The girls have these paper dolls printed on cardstock, and I printed them on magnetic paper for our road trip.

O(4) had fun making bookmarks with this bookmark kit from the Target dollar section. I also included free books from Cheerios boxes...I love those books, especially since they are bilingual (Spanish/English)!



O was the most excited about the Samantha book (found at the Dollar Store a couple of years ago).


Fun stuff! Now I need to get to work on April's Box of Fun! Btw, every time I refer to these boxes as a "box of fun" O corrects me and says "It's not a box of fun. It's a box of activities!" Love her!

Planting Paperwhite Narcissus Bulbs

The girls and I planted bulbs which grew into these beautiful flowers as an activity from our January box of fun.  I  bought the set including 4 bulbs, a pot, and soil at WM for a little more than a dollar in the after Christmas clearance section.  The girls had fun measuring the water to add to the soil to rehydrate it.  We then planted the bulbs and waited for them to grow and bloom.  They are both very proud of these beautiful flowers.

Bride and Groom Paper Dolls

I printed this bride and groom paper doll set (Prince William and Kate) for O and E's January Box of Fun.  O was thrilled to have a bride paper doll since she loves to dress-up as a bride, and we put the wedding dress on her O paper doll, too.
