Spring Performance and Art Show

Bean Butter and her classmates ready themselves for

their Spring Performance!

Butter Bean is a little Robin welcoming Spring.

The church is filled with the joyful

sound of children's voices!

Time to show parents art work created over the year.
Da Heat poses with Butter and her Space Alien.

Each child stitched their initials on a square to create this quilt.
The fabric and yarn is hand dyed with natural materials!

Butter with all her art work on display.

The parrot tree is one of our favorites!

Easter Time

We were busy as can during Easter Season!
We made Easter Frames for our BlueBonnet pictures

with our Favorite Neighbor Bean Friends.

Naturally we made sugar cookies!
What is the Easter Season without sweet
yellow duckies, white bunnies and pink hearts?

AND...we are onto yet another project...
painting out paper mache shapes!

To top off our day's activities

we make Cascarones!
Individually decorated and filled with confetti...

the fun is about to begin!

Take a look at this beautiful egg...

of course I really mean the Bean!! :)

The generous Easter Bunny leaves surprises for all!

Look at all those eggs Butter found!
Da Heat only helped a little bit...

It's time to start opening gifts and candy!

Our company has arrived and

there are more eggs and treasures to find!

This years hunt is unique.

Within 25 eggs are 2 puzzle pieces.

Only teamwork can complete the puzzle and find the clue...

to where the Big Prizes can be found.

Heads together piece by piece the puzzle is completed!

With a little help from the Mama the completed puzzle

is flipped over to reveal...

The surprise message!

Yeah!

The treasure is found and everyone is smiles!

Each basket is filled with a bunny rabbit

and his favorite gardening treats;

seeds for lettuce, carrots and sunflowers!
Oh yes...and of course candy for the Beans!

Bluebonnets Forever!

No day is better than a day that includes a hike with friends.

Add a warm Spring breeze, clear blue skies and a beautiful field of Bluebonnets...

and you're just this side of paradise!

I'll lead the way.

Surrounded by blue!

Bubbles!

Butter is thrilled...

It's her first Bubble Bath!

Leprechaun Traps

Everything is coming up Green at Butter Bean's house!

Naturally...it's time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

We have been reading up a bit on the wee little folk;

Leprechauns!...

and hope to trap one of these tricky little ones for ourselves.

Who knows...Maybe we'll get a Pot of Gold!

A leprechaun can not resist o' bit of fun...

so we have decided to build him a rock wall for him to climb.

Our neighborbean friend is getting into the Spirit of the Green.

The wee folk do like fun...but remember,

it's tough to trick a tricky one!

So, our boxes must be carefully camouflaged.
Then the "bait" must be set.

Rocks are strategically placed to lure the Little One to the top of the wall.

Waiting at the top is a couple of gold coins and a wee flag of Ireland...

What leprechaun can resist!?!

Can't resist trying to catch a Leprechaun for yourself?

Check out Family Fun; "To catch a Leprechaun" for all the details!

Butter Bean gets ready for some Irish fun!

Hopefully, a little Irish Luck will be with us all!

Happy 6 1/2 Birthday

'Tis a Lucky Day indeed!

Butter Bean is officially 6 1/2 years old!
