And on Valentines Day...she rested....

Jaxon had his first valentines party this year and I was super stoked to have found this idea on Pintrest. They are perfect for a bunch of 4 year olds. I dig it!

Jaxon at his party sitting with...as he says it.."my favorites". They had fruit and cheese and crackers and cookies and cake and candy and pizza and apple juice. I went to "help" hoping I could sneak in some treats. I got nothin!

Jill is into the popular stache craze. this is a preview to what her birthday will be next month....Shes in middle school so they don't have parties, but she wanted to hand out cards to her BFFs. I had fun making these. Saw the idea on Pintrest and put my own twist on it.

Jessie's party is tomorrow, but I just finished her treats to her class. 20 Valentines later they are filled with Kisses. I snuck in a few of the carmel ones, hey I have to get paid some how. Shes also taking cupcakes, and they will be store bought. I think I am Valentined out.

My goodie bags to my 3 Valentines. The hubby is off at work and him and I will treat each other to dinner and a movie. I had put alot more thought into this years Valentines than I think I have in years past. Jaxon is understanding holidays more and the girls are appreciating small gestures better and it just made it fun. HAPPY HEART DAY!!

So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

I do it

Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner . Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now. "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires. Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
