Cinderella Boy




Valentine's Day Kids' Crafts

In addition to the heart garland I made, we've done a few Valentine's kids crafts.  If you're looking for more kids' craft ideas for Valentine's Day, be sure to check out all the ones we did last year! You can see all the Valentine Crafts under "Homemade Valentine's Day."

Glitter Playdough


Mini Heart Pizzas

I folded some paper and drew half-hearts and let Maggie cut them out. She's a pro with scissors now.  Then I wrote "I love" and let her write different things she loves with pink marker.  We stuck them on her bedroom door to decorate.

Heart Bag Toppers for Maggie's Heart-a-Saurus Valentines.  She wrote all the names on them herself. (I'm having trouble with Blogger rotating (or unrotating) my photos.  I turned off auto-rotate on my camera and now Blogger is rotating a picture that was taken horizontally! I give up.)


M-I-C-K-E-Y

How cute is this Mickey Mouse drawing Maggie did a couple weeks ago?

Monkey or 2 Year Old?

I caught Dalton climbing in the pantry the other day.


Then yesterday, John found him pushing a chair over from the table so he could climb onto the counter to reach the snack cupboard.


A little naughty, I think.  Proof? For more posts on Dalton climbing on stuff see:


ETA: While I was writing this blog (seriously), I heard the sound of the chain being taken off the front door. You know, the chain that keeps naughty toddlers from opening the front door?

 

I think somebody wants to go for a walk and since it's up to 40 outside, I'll oblige him. Excuse me.

Valentine's Day Crafty Night

My cousin Jill came over this week and we got our Valentine's Day craft on.  Dalton helped.





 Jill made a pleated heart pillow.


 I made these heart cut-out garlands.

Pretzelfest & Twin Cousins: Next Generation

Last Saturday, most of the ladies in our family got together at our house to learn how to make pretzels.  Here I am with my kids and four of my darling nieces.



The rest of this post is about my other darling niece!


Dalton and Kyli sat on the front porch waving goodbye to everyone.  Aren't they adorable?


And maybe a little silly?
