Happy Valentine's Day

Friday, we had a fun valentine's day at home and enjoyed another day of snow.  Mommy made some heart-shaped pancakes, then heart sandwiches and then daddy was sweet and brought home dinner so mommy didn't have to cook.  I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's!!

Valentine's Jazz Banquet

Last night was the jazz banquet I have been gearing up for for the past month and a half. It was so much fun! I had a blast dressing up in 40's style and singing and dancing! The kids had spaghetti and then went downstairs to play in the kids room so mommy and daddy got to dance a little. The beginning of the night my hair was perfect, but by the end my hair got bigger and bigger. I thought it was funny!!

Dance Floor Lights

I am so proud of my latest project that I decided to share on my family site and party site (details will be on my party site).  A few months ago I was asked to sing at a Valentine's banquet for our Preschool.  I said I would love to, but do you need any help decorating?  When the director said sure I immediately was on Pinterest gathering ideas.  I came across a dance floor lighting that I fell in love with this picture.

I then ran across this blog on a tutorial for how to do it on the cheap (my kind of project!).  My issue?  I needed my poles to be upright indoor.  So after much collaborating with anyone that would listen, I got the idea from my dad to fix my problem.  So here is what mine look like.  (Sorry the lights weren't turned on.  I'll try and sneak a pic tonight.)

I "Mustache" You a Question...

Today was the kids' preschool Valentine's class party. I can not take credit for the idea. I got it from Maddycakes Muse! It was completely last minute due to the banquet being tomorrow night and I am gearing up for it! So I saw the idea and thought..."hey self, you have mustache candy molds already. Do this". And so I did. The kids LOVED the mustache chocolate suckers. Ms. Jennie got everyone's picture with the suckers. It was so cute. They had just enough time for a game. I had given all the kids a pair of chopsticks and some conversation hearts and tried to see if they could put as many hearts in a cup they could. There was one little boy that did it in less thanks a couple minutes. I was super impressed. Maddie was pretty good as well! The theme was "I mustache you question, will you be my valentine?" Sorry about the pics. They are all on my phone and I didn't start taking them until after we had started eating. Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Cupid made a visit here! First we put on our shirts from Mamaw and Papaw. Maddie's has hearts and says "Love", and Zack's is Mickey and says"Ladies Man". Maddie and Zack then opened their cards from all the grandparents and then from us. They got a book that has figurines to play with in the back (thanks Aunt Amy for showing us these). They came in handy today because we stayed after school for a couple hours while mommy decorated for the Valentine's banquet tomorrow night. Once mommy got home she had surprise from daddy. He got mommy an edible arrangement. I love those things!! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

Early Valentine

Yesterday Mamaw and Papaw came up to deliver some things. In particular they brought the kids a few Valentine's treats. They got a shirt to wear on Thursday, some candy and sweets. While they were here Mike and I roped them into helping us install a shower door in our bathroom.

For over a year now we haven't used our shower because the "smart" builders of this house built a walk-in shower without a door. So when we took showers with a curtain it would dump a ton of water on the floor which ultimately ended up downstairs in our kitchen, yup..fun times! So after considering on how we should fix the problem (back and forth about tile vs door) we bought a door and we now can finally take showers in our bathroom. Hooooraaaaay!! Thanks Mamaw and Papaw!!!
