Valentine's Day is almost here!

My favorite holiday is almost here and I can't wait. I have to hold myself back when I go to Target and Wal-Mart or I will buy one of everything just because it is cute. We made melted crayon heart sun catchers the other day. Lots of love to everyone this year..make it special.

Cade gave Conan his Birthday present yesterday and he has used it all day! It is a great gift and he loves it. I love it the he is so interested in artsy stuff and wants to do "projects" all day. It makes me a little crazy trying to come up with stuff all the time. Thank goodness the kids loves Playdough. Seriously!

An Early Valentine!

It is 18 days until my favorite holiday is here! SO you can imagine my elation when we received a box full of wonderful heart shaped goodies in the mail from our Florida family! It made Conan and I both squeal with delight. Conan hasn't put down the set of knights she sent and I have been munching on pink and red M&M's. Thanks so much, it came at a great time!

I heart you!

Sometimes you just take my breath away!
I love you!

Lemonhead crazy

This seems like such a strange post for me...but I have to tell you, these things are gonna be the death of me, Seriously! Let me just start by saying I LOVE LEMONHEADS! Just in case this wasn't clear...I do indeed have a weird insatiable craving for theses deliciously sour/sweet yellow balls of goodness. Next let me say that I eat a box of them every week. Chris and I have a date night once a week and we make a run to Walgreens to pick them up on our way to the theater. It is now almost like a tradition. (the more I write the more this post the more I realize how pitiful I must seem)
Here is the kicker....I am allergic to them to some degree, you see after eating about 6 of them my eyelids start to sweat. Now, we are not talking a little moister, we are talking about drops of sweat! I have to wipe away the sweat multiple times during the consumption of the little darlings. And yet I continue to eat them. I guess until my face swells and my throat closes I will indeed continue to eat them.

You should try them. run now and grab you a box. You can thank me later. :)

Donuts Please!

We got up this morning and everyone had the same idea to go get donuts. It has been awhile since we have gone to the donut shop so we loaded up and headed for Krispy Kream! Man o Man did CCC love it! He would have eaten till he made himself sick, but Mom intervened. I love how simple things really make a kids day. He was fascinated at the whole process, he even said he liked the way this place smelled...imagine!

Here are a few pics of the little guy getting his donut on.

He's got the whole world in his hands....

Before Conan got strep, we started our study of the world and made a paper mache globe. He loved getting all icky sticky. We have it painted now but we I need to take some more pictures. We are learning about China and the Chinese New Year. Today he made paper lanterns. It has been fun teaching him, he asks me all the time if we can do school. I guess I should enjoy the fact that learning is so much fun at this age. I will try and take some more pictures of the globe and the projects we do with each country we study. If anyone has any suggestions please drop me a line!

Strep....uugh

Now Conan has Strep...great.

Trying to get back to normal

I am so far behind in blogging that I am not even going to try and catch up. Well here is a brief run down since Christmas. I got Strep from Hell. Then as a result from the antibiotic had awful stomach crapping and pain, Conan has been sick and I have been trying to get caught up with work and plan Conan's school. So now that I am feeling mostly better I am eager to get back in the swing of things. I am sure Chris is ready for some hot meals and a break form the kids! :)

Soccer season has started for Taylor so that means lots more running around. It should be interesting watching her play for the High School; whole different level than rec.

One more thing, I hope to have my New Years resolution list posted this week. I like to throw it out there just for some accountability. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Wow! My little guy is getting not so little.

We went to a Go Diego Go party on Saturday. Other than Conan not feeling 100% he did manage to have a good time. It was a very cute birthday and it was fun seeing Cade get all excited.

The Birthday Boy!
Happy Birthday big guy!!!
