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!

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!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
