Spring Break!

Kaden and I have a FaNtAsTiC 10 days of us! We are on Spring Break!!! Woo! I have been doing the countdown for these ten days since the beginning of March. It's going to be a great time spent doing lots of fun things :)

I have been worried about Kaden getting bored a lot over the break... So I decided to come up with at least one activity per day that we could do together! Genius right? I think so! Today was full of options, but it was the first day of break, so of course I got caught up in the cleaning aspect. Lucky for me, I had an awesome helper who was ready to do whatever I needed!

Once the days festivities were over, we settled in for a Friday night at home. Which I happen to love :) Our first activity was to make Easter Bunny Bait! I found the original idea on Pinterest, shocker, but we did make it our own! This is an AWESOME activity to have kiddos help out with. Kaden got to do most of it and he really loved it!

For our Bunny Bait we used, Rice Chex, Popcorn, M&M's, Pretzel sticks, Sprinkles and Vanilla Almond Bark. 

First Step: Pop that Popcorn!

Carefully measure 2 cups of Pretzel sticks...


Add 2 cups of Rice Chex!

Dump the Popcorn in! (On a side note: Pull out the kernels that didn't pop. We learned this the hard way!)

Mix it up!

Melt the Almond Bark! (This is totally a parent job...)

Add M&M's :)


Add half a bag of Cabury Mini Eggs! (Note: The shell on these eggs are thinner than M&M's. Next time I would add them after the while chocolate had cooled a bit.)

Prep a large baking pan with foil! (I used our square 16x16 cake pan)

Add the Almond Bark (another parent job)

Stir it up!

Pour into pan :)

It's Sprinkle Time!


Finished Product!

Put some on and Egg shaped plate and have at it!

Oh Wait!!! Add HOP for an extra special treat :)

 Our first day of activities went fabulous! I hope you like this too!
