Paige..on Valentines Day


Mason was "really" excited" about this Valentine!



My mother in law was so great to come in and watch Caleb, Paige & Peyton so I could attend Masons School Party. They made cute little Lady Bugs out of mail-boxes!

Valentines Weekend was exciting around our house. With 4 young kids we like to make it more about them then us...We will have plenty of time for that when the kids get older. I enjoyed all the crafts I did this year with the kids. And Valentines day was special just spending the day with Troy and the kids!!
Hope everyone enjoyed Valentines Day with their loved ones!!

Valentines Day Madness

Lollipop Lillies is what Mason is giving out to his classmates for Valentines. I found this idea on http://www.skiptomylou.org/. She has the templates linked..so all you have to do is print them off on card stock...lots of cutting and glue..but they are cute!!
I got the hand sanitizer, curl ribbon, and stickers from Target and these cute name tags from Wal-mart...Martha Stewart.

The Teacher Gift Idea I found on http://j-a-girl.blogspot.com/search/label/Holidays. It was cheap and simple..and what teacher does not like hand sanitizer!! The lighting is not the best on this photo.

Today is Masons School Valentines Party, so yesterday I was in panic mode to finish the Valentines and Teachers Gift...it was fun to be crafty this year!!

Pizza Face

Mr Pepperoni Happy Face Pizza!!
Tonight I made a home-made Pizza...it actually was fun and easy...a little too much sauce...but hey I am just learning at all this baking nonsense!!

Where or Where did the Naps Go??

Having quite time..with what I call their Nap Mats.
They actually did really well..laid there for 30 minutes or so..of course watching something on TV..Oh well no fighting and quite..makes mom happy!!

Unfortunately Paige & Peyton only nap on occasion now and usually on "their" terms. I am trying hard to adjust to this...for nap time was also a great time for me to get some house-hold chores done with out kids hanging off me.


If no nap, I am trying to still make them understand there has to be some quite time..even if it is only 30 minutes...some days it goes well..others not so well.


They are all sick with colds..and Mason double ear infection...so naps are easy to come by this week.

Laundry Room

In attempt to "dress up" my laundry area I found these goods at Hobby Lobby...to put on my door leading to my dungeon!!
Love this Tassels..these are even cute in your kitchen on your cabinet! And Cheap...

Sign was on clearance at Hobby Lobby for only $4.00!!!


I dream of some day main floor laundry. With 4 kids this is what I spend most of my time doing...laundry.

I have come across some inspiring laundry rooms, but lets just face it...mine is in a sub-basement..dark and dingy...but hey a girl can dream..cant she!!
