The column now days is definitely interesting to try to type up. The little guy Oscar loves to sit in my zip up sweatshirt while I type. I have no idea why. Oscar is our 9-week-old Maltese puppy. (And why did he spend twenty minutes putting his head in my son's sneakers and bark into them?) Edible Bird's Nest by Amanda Formaro This fun craft is not only adorable when done, but it's tasty, too! Sit the kids down to make this fun spring project. Be sure to make extras for friends and family. You will need:
Chow Mein noodles Directions: Place squares of wax paper onto to individual plates. Put Chow Mein noodles in a large bowl. If using brick chocolate, break into pieces. Melt chocolate chips or pieces in the microwave, or over low heat on stove, just until melted. Pour melted chocolate over Chow Mein noodles, mix together to coat. Place mounds of chocolate/Chow Mein mixture onto several plates (on top of waxed paper). Have children form the mixtures into nests. Be sure the chocolate has cooled, but don't wait too long or it will harden! Using peanut butter as an adhesive, 'glue' down the jelly beans and candy coated chocolate eggs inside the nest cavity. 'Glue' marshmallow chick on the edge of or inside the nest. These make fun gifts from kids to their friends, teacher and family members. You can also make these nests at birthday parties as a fun and edible take home party favor. The Kraft Shack: KIDS' EASTER CLASS, Mon.

Ralph Everdyke has been enjoying playing golf. Pretty soon many of the people Ralph knows will be coming back up north...(it had better warm up quick or they will leave again). Soon, we can begin enjoying the spring weather, too. We used to have fun doing such as going to the parks, going for walks, feeding the ducks at Sodus Point just to mention a few. And let's not forget how it feels to have the sun on our faces, a gentle breeze to blow the winter bedding dry out on the line. Spring is officially here if you go by the calendar, so hopefully it actually gets here soon! Enjoy your week. Have fun with your families and when you get the chance, please write to me and let me know what fun things you do to enjoy spring. Copyright
