happy pinterest day

I'm pretty much a tear along the perforated edge character valentine kind of gal.  Well, until this year.  Last year Lexi took those to her Valentine class party and I'm pretty sure she was the only one who gave those out.  There is NOTHING wrong with them (frankly, I prefer them and I love the simplicity) and I don't try to be like others, BUT since we have been stuck in the house with frigid temperatures and a congestive cough I decided to look on Pinterest...

I love mason jars and I found these from Dandee-Designs!  I knew I didn't want to give candy to her classmates so we headed to Michaels to find some cute bugs.  For the girls, we made butterfly necklaces and for the boys we found glow in the dark bugs at Mardel.  For the teachers, we defaulted to our favorite store...Trader Joe's.  We found delicious dark chocolate covered marshmallows and honey graham crackers.  We put them in a mason jar, picked out some "sweet" fabric from my scraps, added and note + bow and we were done. 





Lexi and I really do enjoy doing arts + crafts together and we love giving presents so this worked out perfectly.  I hope everyone has a very sweet Pinterest's Valentine's Day!

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
