Easter Activities at Home! 

Since I had ALOT of time to spend with my toddler this week, I decided to put together the Easter Pack from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com.  .  I did this as a preview to the Letter of the Week program that I am planning to start with her shortly.  I wanted to introduce her to the system I hope to use when I start the preschool curriculum.  I was so happy with how excited she was about all the activities and that she was actually able to do all of them! We really had fun with it! There is still time this weekend to do any/all these activities with your kids! 

Just ordered these counting bears from Amazon, and she is obsessed with them! 

So of course we had to use the bears to do our Egg Counting (from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com)

She also enjoyed the coloring pages from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com

We hid these number cards around the room and after she found them she had to put them in order to read her bible verse.  

"He Is Risen!" Puzzle

Had to wear the new bunny ears to work on her lacing card

Recipe of the Week: Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken and Honey Mustard

Found this recipe (along with a few others that I love) on the website 50 Easy and Delicious Chicken Recipes.

Here is a link to the recipe and directions from the blog Six Sisters' Stuff.  I figured I couldn't go wrong with Honey mustard, chicken, bacon, and lots of cheese!

Ingredients- Chicken breast, cheese, mushrooms, bacon, salt, honey, mustard, mayo, onion flakes, and cooking oil.  

Ours definitely doesn't look as fancy as the pretty picture from their website, but it was still yummy! Only recommendations I have are don't use hickory smoked bacon (unless you like that). I didn't enjoy the "smoked" flavor it gave to the chicken. I also would have added some extra mushrooms to it! But I finally found a meal that the whole family will eat!!!
