My very long Valentines post

My attempt at making yummy chocolate covered strawberries! I saw some at an online store and they were SOOO expensive and I was craving these, so I decided to make them myself. I think they turned out pretty good. They don't look nearly as good as the ones you can buy but they sure tasted good! What better then to end the night with a roast dinner and chocolate covered strawberries!

This picture is actually really funny because Gracey was actually playing with the Valentines stuff when I wasn't looking and as soon as she saw me she hurried to her bottle to pretend she wasn't looking at the stuff. It was really funny!

My girls Valentines Day morning!

Brandon's love Calendar I made from this site: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/

As you can tell this Valentines Day holiday this year has been quite eventful in our household! I may have been the cause of these such events! :) I love that Audrey is old enough now that she wants to do crafts with me, especially Valentines crafts right now! :) When we started doing our Valentine crafts which was in the middle of January Audrey asked me all the time if we could do a craft. So, because I love doing fun crafts for Valentines day, I couldn't just say no. So I just googled some fun, easy Valentine crafts for kids and Audrey really enjoyed all of them.

These are a few of the sugar cookies Audrey rolled out and frosted and sprinkled! I love it!

Rice Crispy treat succors. I got this idea from..shoot, I can't find the site I got this idea from. Anyways, this was not my idea it was somebody elses's that I borrowed! I usually can't come up with unique crafty ideas, so I just borrow other people's ideas. Luckily they are sharing their ideas with me and everybody else in the world. Thank you for all of those crafty people that make me look crafty! Keep the cute ideas coming! haha!

Audrey loves to help me bake/cook!

My fry containers. I got this idea from: http://loveactually-blog.blogspot.com/ But I used my own fry sauce container that I made instead of using their template and I decorated it my own way! So, it's not exactly alike!

I had Audrey and Hazel do a couple of crafts while Hazel was here for movie night a couple of times! These are the Valentine wreaths they made!

We went over to our friends house, the Maxwells to just go hang out and we ended up doing crafts! I just so happened to have my Valentine craft stuff with me too! haha!

Audrey, Mckenna and Mason

3d hearts craft!

Audrey's Valentine to her Daddy!

First of many crafts that we did for Valentines day! Everybody else's Valentine from Audrey!

The great thing about most of these crafts is, I already had all of the supplies!!!!! And if I didn't, off to Dollar Tree I went! :)

There you have it! That was our Valentines this year. As much as I love my decorations and as soon as I start feeling better I want to take down my Valentines stuff. I am ready for a clutter free house again!!

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
