Happy Valentine's Day!!

Are your kids hopped on sugar like mine???? I think they're hanging from the ceiling about now!!

Here's my V-Day gift to Mike. Saw one like it at HEB for $29!! Thought it was pretty cute, so a friend and I worked together (she got the boxes, I got the ribbon) to make them ourselves. I think it's a pretty cute man gift!!!

Completed Sock Hop outfit....

Okay...here's the completed outfit for the Sock Hop at Sophia's school on Friday. I made 5 of these little poodle skirt outfits. 2 red skirts, 2 light pink and 1 hot pink. Each fabric for the initial and tie are different. I think they all turned out very cute!!! And...I'm glad they're done!! Now if only I can decide on how much to charge for them!!!

Happy Valentine's Day...a bit early...

I put the kids in their Valentine's shirts over the weekend in hopes of getting a good picture of all 3 for the card I need to make. As usual...I couldn't get one of all 3 looking at the camera at the same time. It seems impossible!!!!

But, I thought this one was very cute. And it really captures the 3 of their personalities....Joshua doing his own thing....Sophia posing...and Jake being silly.

Poodle skirt...

Last post for today.....Sophia's class is having a Sock Hop for their Valentine's Party next week. Being the over achiever that I am...I offered to make (for $$) the outfits for all the girls (since there are only 5 girls in the class). I just finished Sophia's skirt and I think it turned out SO cute. And super super easy!!!

To complete the outfit, I'm doing white t-shirts with the girls initial on them (Laverne and Shirley style) plus a matching neck or hair scarf in the same fabric as their initial.

And...as I sit here typing....she's having a fit about not getting a pink poodle. "I don't want white. That's not fair." Oh....hold me back. I hope I don't end up on the 5:00 news!!!!!

Boot Scootin' Good Time...

Today was the annual Barn Dance at Jake's school. I had no idea what to expect!!! He was very excited about it and wanted to make sure I was going to wear boots (which I did). They had the gym all decorated and all the Kinder classes were there. Most of the time they spent "showing off" the dances they had been working on. It was pretty darn cute!!! I was impressed that they had so many kids going in different directions and yet no one was injured!!!! I would have gotten better pictures and video if Joshua hadn't been there. He was clearly irritated that no one asked him to be in the dances...so he was making mad dashes to try to get into the middle of everything...which means I had to put down the cameras quite often!!!!

There were so very cute outfits there. When Sophia makes it to Northwood...we'll go all out on her Barn Dance outfit!!! If you look closely in the picture, you can see Josie (she's in Jake's class). LOVE the black and pink tutu type skirt with matching pink and black boots. AND...and a pink cowgirl hat with a tiara on it. Can you beat that???

Class picture at the end. This is Lucy...notice how she got dressed up for the big day. Ms. Cole brings her most Fridays. She's a service dog...one that gets taken to nursing homes and hospitals. The kids get to read to her on Friday as a reward. The kids absolutely love her!!!

The parents were lucky enough to get to participate in the last dance. Yeah!! Love that Old Man Tucker song. It's a toe-tapper!! The video is clips from several of the dances put together. It's a little long...but it cracks me up.

I Wanna be like the Big Kids!!!

The big kids had their papasan chairs out watching TV the other day. Joshua threw a fit until I got him a chair to sit in too.

Not sure whyJake is blurry....but it's still a cute picture. He wants to do EVERYTHING they do!!!!

Birthday gifts...

Warning---Kelly and Mary----present spoiler!!

In order to be a bit more thrifty, but still cute....I made counting books for the birthdays coming up. Grant will be 3 on the 8th and Tyler will be 4 on the 19th. They both love Cars...so I made them a Cars counting book. I think they turned out pretty cute. I hope they like them!!!
