Happy Valentine's Day!

I don't get into Valentine's Day too much, never have. But, every year Vicki talks about how the kids at school get gifts from their parents and I think she was beginning to feel left out, so I gathered some things for the girls in the dollar section at Target and surprised them this morning with little gifts to remind them I love them.

Another first this year, the girls and I made their Valentines on our own instead of buying them from the store. They turned out so cute. I had all the supplies I needed on hand--plenty of stamps and printed papers and heart punches and glitter and enhancements to make around 60 Valentines! It was fun and I was glad to use some of the items I've collected over the years with my obsession with crafting supplies!

Tomorrow we're just hanging out with some friends, a great way to spend Valentine's Day!

I don't care much for the so-called holiday, but I do love my husband and my girls and I feel very blessed to have them. How I got so lucky, I'll never know.

Snow Day

Here is the reason we do not get a day off school on Monday for President's Day (It's a snow day make-up). We had about 10 inches of snow this day in January. Very impressive!

The Animal Odd Couple

This is the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time.
I love elephants!
