Valentine's Day 2012

I love holidays, and Valentine's Day is no exception.  Every year I decorate, have a special breakfast with heart shaped pancakes and of course a valentine card with the goodie filled heart basket.  Happy Valentine's Day to my sweetheart and my sweet kids!  I LOVE YOU!!!

Sock puppets 2/3/12

 

This project was so much fun!!!  I had some socks where one of each pair had holes in the toe, so the good ones were turned into sock puppets.  Tyson decided he wanted to make his into a snake and I just made a "girly monster".  Once they were complete, we had a puppet show.  Tyson loved setting up the stage and together we put on our own show.  It was a blast!  I LOVE these special times with the kids! 

My favorite is the one in the middle!

Making Valentines 1/31/12

The great thing about winter is that it's a perfect time to get creative and make lots of crafts.  Valentine's Day was coming up, so it was time to make valentines.  I found some fun glitter glue pens to use for these, cut out some hearts and let the fun begin. I had Karissa work on hers while Tyson was in school, then that afternoon while Karissa was napping Tyson had his turn.  Lots of fun!      

Ben's 33rd Birthday 1/16/12

Daddy with his special birthday letters!

Making a Special Birthday Sign for Daddy 1/11/12

Daddy's birthday was coming up, so we decided to make him a special, personalized birthday banner.  I printed out some letters and let the kids do whatever they wanted on them.  I pulled out the paint, stickers, colored macaroni, markers, etc. and let them go at it.  They had a great time and even managed to keep their banner a secret from Daddy until his birthday.  It was fun project for a cold winter day! 

Tyson & Daddy wooden car project 1/8/12

Ben has been working on various projects with Tyson and this was the latest.  It is a wooden car kit from Lowe's and Tyson did all the work.  He did a great job and was so proud of the finished product!  Awesome work, Buddy!!!
