Valentine Fun

Well, this last week and Valentine's weekend was a lot of FuN! We had Parent/Teacher Conferences (Zach + Lauren got wonderful reports + Tess...well, we have a few things to work on), Tess had to turn in her big "Jim Bridger-Mountain Man Project" (Mommy + Daddy helped her write a biography, a poem, decorate and design a label for the can that contained an item Jim Bridger would have had, and finally, decorate the big cut-out man to look like Jim Bridger. Wow, we're glad that's over with...but I think Tess had fun with it), we decorated Valentine Boxes for the kids' class parties and got their treats all packaged up, I got Ella + Tess' hair cut, Friday night we watched the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics (wow, that was awesome), Saturday we spent all day car shopping (I'll talk more about that later), Sunday, Michael + Bekah came down for dinner (we always have such a fun time when they come to visit) and we even had yummy sugar cookies with pink cream cheese frosting (de-lish...thanks Lauren + Bekah for all your help) and yesterday, Mom, Dad, Mike, Heidi, McCrae, Bruce, + Sheila came over and we ended up having the dinner we were supposed to have had on Sunday (it's a long story but it was YuMmY - thanks mom, and thanks to everyone else for the yummy rolls, and banana splits for dessert). So, today Lauren is home with a yucky belly! Are we ever going to get over this yucky belly/diarrhea bug? Tess has had this sinus pressure and nasty cough since last Wednesday. yUcK, YuCk, double-yUcK! I'm done with winter and I'm done with all the sickness! Okay, I've vented now...I feel better! I hope you all had a good Valentine's Day, and I hope this finds you well + happy! Love to all, Kim

Lauren wanted me to post this...

(I forgot to post it when I did her hair in the little braids and took them out the next morning)

Lauren + Tess' Valentine Cans

I got this idea from my friend Katie...thanks Katie for your inspiration

(I took the picture, created the cards, and then attached them to their treat bags)

Easy + Fun...the girls LoVeD them!
