Our Valentines Day

 We had such a fun Valentines Day this year! The night before Hubcap helped me decorate the dining room for a fun surprise for the kids in the morning..

They were so excited when they walked into this in the morning. 

I got them a few things for Valentines Day... some shovels, seeds and watering cans and then thanks to Pinterest Hogs and Kisses and You Make My Heart Pop bubbles. 

Chocolate at breakfast?!?! Yes please! 

Mister and I made homemade poptarts for a fun treat!! Serious deliciousness right here. 

My little Valentines... 

We made these little trees of love for our craft..

                       And after naps decorated cookies! That night Gramsie and Papa Red took the kiddos to see Disney on Ice!! They had a blast and Little Miss is still "ice skating" around sing Mickey songs she makes up! Hubcap and I got to go on a double date with friends which is RARE and was a lot of fun!

Other than that we have been soaking in all the BEAUTIFUL weather we have been having! 73 degrees in February? I'll take it. Never leave. 

Mister celebrated his half birthday with a half a birthday cake of course, our tradition... and a cardboard Mater that I made him. He loved it, then promptly destroyed it and has been working on his race car ever since. What a boy. 

I had my baby shower, or baby sprinkle as my friends put it. Since it's my 3rd baby in 3 years I really didnt need anything but they insisted and threw me the cutest "Sprinkle" instead of a shower. Everything had sprinkles, it was so cute and so themed. LOVE!!! And now 3 more weeks till sweet baby girl arrives, I CANNOT wait. Especially since her foot is in my ribs right now. 

And here is my sweetest little girl asleep with her baby Jesus. She sleeps with him every night, it is the funniest thing. We have to kiss him goodnight and when she wakes up he is still right there with her! Cutest little girl!
Happy Monday friends!

Still alot to be done before she get's here but it was nice to scratch alot off my list! It was also nice to be able to find idea's I really loved online and make them myself for a fraction of the cost. A little bit of hot glue and creativity can come a long way!  

I'm linking up with the The Vanilla Tulip thrifty thoughts! 

Valentines day and our winter boycott

So currently I am on a boycott winter kick and I am pretending it's not freezing cold outside, or that everything around me is brown and dead. The kiddos and I have been filling our days with Valentines Day and spring crafts and living in our non winter bliss. 

Today I made these little Valentine cards that we will send to friends and family...my little wild things. They are both OBSESSED with this book and so I thought this was fun! 

I also thought I would share this fun card idea..

I made this for Hubcap 3 years ago and he really loved it! There are a lot of versions of the candy card...this was mine. 

Working on all our crafts... Little Miss is a serious painter. Don't mess with her. 

Ahhh, hallway bliss. 

See?? Even my roses think it's spring. 

Cutest footprint art. And lovely $1.50 paint yourself birdhouses...for elf birds??? Not really sure. It's the thought I guess.

So anyways, here's to spring!! 

Disneyland

So I've been a slacker blogger and never posted anything about Christmas or New Years...they were great! But the highlight of this season was going to Disneyland! Mister was so excited and it was so much fun to get to experience it with him!! 

Excited kiddos entering the park! 

Waiting in line for the Jungle Cruise, Mister's first ride! 

Little Miss and Papa Red...she is a little unsure about what is going on..

Can you tell someone is a little ticked that she and Mama got left out of Pirates of the Caribbean?  

Meeting Tigger...Little Miss was a little unsure unless Mama was there, Mister loved it! 

Eyore! 

Winnie the Pooh was a different story, Little Miss had no problem running up and hugging the silly old bear! 

And Winnie the Pooh was quite fond of her as well....

on the train....

 
                                                                       It's a Small World....

Love her face in this one...waiting in line to meet Mickey Mouse and this little girl loved watching a gopher pop out of his garden.... also notice that my dad walked around with her skirt over his hat like that all day...haha. 

Mickey Mouse! 

Mister's favorite thing was meeting Mickey! Cutest kid! 

While I was packing for our trip Mister brought me in a little tag and this piece of trash. The tag was his "Ticket" to Disneyland and the piece of trash was to throw away at Mickey's house. So I put it in his pocket of the jeans he would wear that day and we threw it away in Mickey's trash can. Oh I love that boy! 

Watching the parade! 

Magic!! 

Papa Red promised Mister Mickey Mouse ears so while the kids and the men rode on the cars we went and got him a pair with his name and surprised him when he got off the ride! 

The castle at night...we made it to Disneyland on the second to the last day of their Christmas decor and when they lit up the castle at night it snowed on Main Street... really, really cool.... 

On our long way home.... you know you've had a good vacation when you have Mickey Mouse ears on your head and chocolate on your face. Such a great trip!  My only advice for going to Disneyland all day at 7 months pregnant with a three year old and 21 month old is to take a lot of adults!  Ha! Thanks mom and dad for taking us to Disneyland!!
