Will You Be My Valentine?

I worked Valentine's Day......So, my Sweet Valentine had this meal prepared for the kids and I when we got home! It was delish and the lobster was perfect!

We all enjoyed our meal together with a candlelit dinner. Jackson and Ellee thought that was pretty cool!

Thank You, I LOVE You, You are the Best my Valentine!

Conversations with Ellee....

The other day bringing Ellee home from the babysitter's house we had an interesting conversation.

Me: "Ellee, did you run away from Amy today?"

Ellee: "I was doing Hotch Squatch."

Me: "Did you listen to Amy though?"

Ellee: "It was an accident."

Me: "I'm not talking about when you peed your pants today."

Ellee: "Did I say that?"

What just happened? I think she made me forget the whole point of the conversation in the first place!!!

Ellee's recent words:

Gradulations.......Congratulations

Hotch Squatch.....Hop Scotch

Jackson's recent word:

Growhog.....Groundhog

Valentine Treats

I made the Fam heart shaped rice crispy treats....what a fun, sticky, yummy mess!

Some of the treats and Jackson's mailbox he decorated.

100th Day of Kindergarten!

I absolutely LOVE Jackson's way of sounding out words and spelling. He had this assignment for homework. The last question asks, I chose these items because....Jackson's response: I like to spin pennies. I wasn't even sure what he was writing, but apparently he had a real reason for why he wanted to count out 100 pennies for his 100th day of Kindergarten!

Valentines and Art

Ellee was very excited to work on her Valentine's this year! She picked out Princess cards that even included a magnet. Here she is writing her "name" on each of the cards she was giving in Preschool.

Ellee's Valentine mouse she made in Preschool.

I love the whiskers and eyes!

Bad Boys, Bad Boys Whatcha Gonna Do....

Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You?

"When they go, they go, bang, bang, bang!

My Poppie (Grandpa) used to say this when our Family would play a card game called 4 pennies and a card. Each person was dealt one card and the object of the game was to not have the highest card. If you did after trading around the table, you had to pay a penny. According to Poppie, once you lost one penny they all seemed to go quickly after. So he started the saying, "When you go, you go bang, bang, bang!" This phrase has stuck around for many years in my Family.

Now here I am relating to my little guy's teeth. He just lost his first tooth and now here he is a few weeks later with his second one gone! "When they go...."
