Snow Way

When we went to bed on Friday night, it was snowing, which is very thrilling in this little coastal town. We get a big snow every few years, and an occasional light dusting in between. We woke up to 5+ inches of gorgeous bright white snow. We were in and out, and in and out several times, made an entire snow "family" and also had snow cream for lunch. How divine.

Chocolate is in the Air

What a busy week of Valentine Card making and Valentine parties. I love homemade Valentine's, don't you? So we - meaning mostly me, with some help from Grayson - set out to make 25 Valentine's for Grayson's classmates and his two teachers. We looked online for ideas and settled on an Owl made out of an upside down large heart. They are so charming!
Finley's class was much easier, only ten Valentine's to make, including her teachers. We chose a fish for her, made out of two hearts the same size and one small heart for the tail. They turned out very incredibly adorable! There was cupcakes, pretzels, cookies and fruit and juice boxes at both parties. The kids came home and spread out all their loot on the kitchen table. Of course they wanted to eat all of it at once, but being the mean old mother that I am I only let them choose two. That Friday night was also our traditional family night with pizza and a movie. One of the pizza places in town had a deal on heart shaped pizza this weekend. How sweet.

My Little Handyman

Saturdays are DIY Days at our local Home Depot. These are usually Grayson and Daddy mornings. This week they made a shelf for all his little matchbox/hot wheels cars. He was very proud of himself, as were we. He is becoming quite the little craftsman and is very talented with a hammer and nails.
