Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2017

Happy Valentine’s Day! I know I’ve got 3 little loves that are excited for the day…and were excited for yesterday because they all had their school Valentine parties on Monday. We made our Valentines again this year just like in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 and I thought they came out so cute…

Spencer’s was tricky – he really wanted a printed out dinosaur to color so I finally got him one that he colored and we cut out and glued it onto another card and then he added all the hearts! Maxwell did his all on his own, of course. I made Samantha’s. 🙂 Because Valentine’s Day is basically equal to Halloween in terms of candy consumption, we added treats to them. Spencer picked Skittles, I added gummies for Samantha’s, and Maxwell’s had Star Wars jelly beans (which I was very proud to find and had to go to 4 stores to get!)

Also, just so I remember, I did a Target gift card for the teachers.

I was the treat mom for Maxwell’s class so sent these chocolate dipped marshmallows. There is a girl in his class that can’t have gluten so this was the best gluten-free treat I could come up with. It doesn’t hurt that all my kids loooove marshmallows!

Samantha taste tested and approved!

Valentine Program

February 13, 2017

Happy Monday! Spencer’s school did a little Valentine Program and art show for the grandparents to come and visit (and give money!). It was super cute and I loved getting to see Spencer up on stage again! We got lucky and he had a little solo at the beginning so was front and center…

He was ready to shake those maracas!

Well, until it actually came time to shake them! Ha! He was much better at tapping sticks and did great singing and giving me a thumbs up!

We were so glad Granddaddy and Lou Lou could make it up for the program!

Well, fun until Baby fell and came running up to me with the bloodiest mouth you’ve ever seen. Hoping it was mostly just her lip and not her teeth but only time will tell. Can we please have NO MORE mouth trauma drama??!!!

Everything old

February 8, 2017

Everything old is not new again…but still pretty cute! Samantha wearing one of my old dresses last week…

And here’s the side by side of new and old!

Who wore it best? I was pretty darn adorable with my curly red hair but I’m gonna have to give it to Samantha for her ability to accessorize! Knee socks always win! (and yes, I know the dots are different! I think I put it on Samantha backward! ha!)
