Valentines Day

I wanted to do something fun for K for her valentines for preschool. I saw this on Pintrest and K decided that she wanted to do it. Pintrest had suckers but I did not want to add to the candy frenzy so we did pencils instead.

When we were done she had a pot of flowers. She was so excited to go and pass out her flowers to all of her friends. Unfortunately, she was very sick the very next day and was not able to go to the party. Her teachers passed out her valentines for her and she got her stuff the following week. C had way too many people in his class to do something so crafty, so he got the store candy bracelets. He did not want to pass out flowers to his friends anyway. He said that pink flowers were not for boys to take for valentines day.




Silliness

K was eating puff balls and decided to see how many she could fit in her mouth. She got 4 in there. I am not sure how, but I had to snap these photos to prove it. She is such a silly girl!

Family Room Remodel

Since we were repainting already, I figured that our family room could use some color. As you may have noticed from the pictures, our house is white. White everywhere, tile, walls, carpet, counters, everything. The family room is one of the rooms that we are in often so a little color is needed. Here is the photos of the prep part. I got home from work and this process was taking place so I was not able to get the true before ones.

Here is the after. I really love the red wall. It brings so much color and warmth to our home and makes it feel more like my home.



Here is the other angle, the walls are a dark beige and I LOVE IT! I can not wait for the rest of the house to get painted but this is a great start!



Dancing Diva

K was in dance for the fall and winter season. She loved it. She had a performance at the Festival of Trees and then a Winter recital. J and JD were here for the winter recital and she was so excited that she got to do her dances for them. She loved dancing and practicing her dances at home. One of her dances was about snowflakes so her costume made her look like a snowflake.

After the winter recital, I have been scheduled to work every Friday and can not make it to dance class. We are in the process of looking for a dance studio that has a three to four year old class that is not on Friday. She asks every day when she can go again. I am so happy that she loves it!

Christmas Day

I loved having all of the kids here for Christmas day. Here are some of their favorite gifts.

JD- his bike is right next to him, C was helping to take the pictures so he accidentally cut out part of the bike.


My children are the love of my life, I had such a wonderful day with them all here.
