I decided last minute to make some simple matching Easter outfits for the kids Saturday night. I have been wanting to make a pillowcase dress for forever so this was a good time to finally whip one up. I always thought they looked easy but after making one, it was so gratifying because they really ARE so easy and look so sweet, what more can you ask for...almost instant gratification! The romper for my 12 month old son took a little longer but it was still pretty simple, it only took longer because I was being cheap and didn't want to pay $13 for the pattern I found at the store so I made my own pattern, but I made it as simple as possible....No diaper changing access and I didn't even take time to make button holes and sew on buttons for the straps, I went with Velcro. Well....B didn't seem to like wearing his outfit as much as J liked her dress. He kept ripping it off, which was easy to do with Velcro. Oh well...it worked for the day, and the fabric was 50% off at Joann's so I'm not too worried if he never wears it again. I just had this idea it would be cute if they were matching for the day.

The Jesus Storybook Bible has beautiful colorful illustrations on every page and it tells the stories in such a great way.
We were planning on doing this activity but ended up using up all our eggs when we dyed them. Here are some instructions for resurrection cookies with a printable chart that I'm going to try and remember to do next year.

And finally, here are 2 videos, Amazing Grace
is just such an amazing song with an amazing story behind it. If you haven't watched the movie Amazing Grace
yet, add it to your list! Plus I love this version of it.
