Project: Valentines
Yesterday after coming home from church, the boys and I began a two part project for Nathan’s school Valentines. They’re really cool!

“I’ll get you, my pretty! (and your little dog, too!)”
I meant to post this photo of Nathan from the other day. They were having fun with the kid’s-sized broom at the restaurant. It totally reminded me of the wicked witch from Wizard of Oz!

Brown paper bags.
Last night Nathan begged me to make him an astronaut outfit out of a Target paper bag. And, you know me – always looking for ways to reuse and recycle. Here’s the madness that ensued afterwards: Nathan’s costume was complete with a rocket blaster drawn on the back. By the…

Even kids love mail.
Today Nathan got his first issue of Lego Magazine. I handed it to him in the car on the way to someplace and he was enthralled the entire way. They’ve got fun new ideas for building things with Legos, mazes, word searches, etc. You can get a free two-year subscription…

Happy February!
Welcome to February! Several reasons I am stoked about this month: I've decided to do a fun Countdown to Valentine's Day with the kids where they'll check their little red mailbox each day for a special treat-of-the-day. Nathan and Will checking their mailbox for goodies today! Mmmm….conversation heart and homemade…
