Valentine's decorations

After Christmas, I left this small artificial tree up and decorated it with winter theme things. 
Now that it's February, I switched it out to hearts for Valentines Day. 



Nothing is new. I made the felt and sequin hearts years ago and my mom crocheted the hearts several years ago. 
The postcards belonged to my grandparents in law.m
Braeden likes the decorations, he called the little cherubs "babies"
He liked stacking the foam and plastic hearts in the candy dish. 
He will really be excited when he figures out that real candy comes with the actual holiday.

Gavin is 6! We celebrated like sharks

Our oldest grandson just had a birthday and is 6 years old! He is such a sweetheart and I am very proud of him and also sad that he is just growing up so fast.
We like to celebrate around here so we had a family party for him this weekend. He likes sharks and we saw shark hat instructions in a free issue of Ranger Rick Jr that was sent to our house.
I got the foam sheets at Hobby Lobby and I made 12 shark hats for the birthday boy and guests. 

The food was simple. I made buns with dough made in my bread machine, My husband smoked and sliced a pork loin. We also had hard cooked eggs, fresh fruit and veggies and chips. 
My daughter made the cupcakes and my son got the decorations and balloons. 

The party was very little work but it was fun and I think the birthday boy was very happy.


It was cold rainy evening and my husband had a great idea to move our vehicles out of the garage so the children could ride bikes and toys there.

    I have to give a thumbs up on Ranger Rick Jr as a great magazine for young children.  All the grands have enjoyed looking at the amazing animal photos. My husband has enjoyed looking at with the grands. He told me we should get a subscription to Ranger Rick Jr, so I did. 

Monday's list for this week

It's a pretty long list but I got quite a bit of it done yesterday and a few more things done this morning.
