Stitch Birthday Prep

 E's birthday this year was rather last minute. She had wanted to do a Stitch birthday but in the beginning of January all luau decor was out of stock. So we decided to go with a craft themed party. I headed to the dollar store for a few random items and low and behold all of the summer stuff was out!! I grabbed what I could and a stitch party was set in motion.

We made water bottles. The prep for this was simple but time consuming!

I love my Cricut!!

I made a balloon arch and tissue papae flowers to decorate the wall. The nice part was this party was pretty easy to throw together. E loved the final result. 

I love being able to do these things for my babes! 

Aloha friends! It's time to party!

February Phone Favorites

February, I started off kicking butt and then things rapidly deteriorated. I feel like I'm sitting behind the 8 ball. I started projects and was on a rolllllllll but then things came up and we had to hit pause. Regardless, it went by all to fast. Here is a round up of our Phone Favs.

this boy could push the button on his my vest for hours. 

There's something about a baby wearing your shoes. 

A sweet little gift from Gram. She's been sick with Covid and this was the sweetest little surprise. 

We made a million trips to Home Depot.

The sunrises in KC are some of my favorite sunrises ever!

2 pancakes for 2.22.22 & 2.2.22

Some of the cutest sword fights ever!

Jakob had Lasick surgery and he says it's a total game changer. His eyes were dry and scratchy for a few days, but now they feel great. Still dry some days but he's loving it and I'm not going to lie, I am obsessed. He looks so much younger without his glasses. My husband is a fox!

He had to sleep with little night sheilds for the first few nights and they made me giggle. 

Obsessed with his cowboy boots.

My amazing helpers cleaning the van at the car wash. 

Sending funny faces to Daddy at work.

Sprout could eat pop corn for every meal. Okay, March, we've got this! Time to finish up some projects, and kick some butt. (spoiler alert, I did not kick butt ;))

Valentines Week

 

In keeping with tradition I tried to keep Valentine's Week very low key.  My favorite part was that E surprised us with little things all week and made her brothers fuse bead crafts for each day too. She is the sweetest.

Day 1: You are Jaw-some.

 

 

Day 2: You're my favorite fish in the sea.

Day 3: You're such a gem. 

Four our activity Sprout and I baked the cake.

Day 4: Being You're Mama is such a treat! 

We had Root Beer Floats (You make my heart float.)

Day 5: Good Friends are like a treasure at the end of a Rainbow.

We did our fancy dinner for our activity. 

Daddy's days were wildly inappropriate as per the norm.

I started recreating the pillows I made for Jakob when we first got married. 

Our little Valentines corner.

 

We went to the dollar store to get some fun balloons. WE then Ran to Wal Mart and I opened the trunk forgetting all about the balloons and they all flew away. Everyone was broken hearted so we went back to the dollar store to get some more.

E got us little heart-o-grams from school. So dang cute!

Work smarted not harder!

Since Daddy was out of town for Valentines day we had pink heart shaped pancakes and they were delightful. It was a fun and busy week!

Janurary Phone Favorite

I feel like January was a complete wash of a month. A false start to the year. I feel like with CoCo and all the crazy this month brought that I really needed a do over. Alas, time does not work that way, but here is a wrap up of a very slow and lsightly sad/ pathetic month. Perhaps I will be a bit more on the ball for February (I typed this is March spoiler alert....I did not get on the ball.)

Baby snuggles are the best! even if he's not really a "baby" anymore.

A oh-its-past-chirtsmas-but-we're-doing-this-puzzle-anyways puzzle.

Quick and easy puzzles are the best. This one was adorable!

The Burg's called and said they were in town and wanted to drop off some cookies. they were visiting from Austin and we ended up spending the rest of the evening with them. So great to catch up!

0mn1cron was spreading the world (Coco variant) and churhc on Sunday was sparse. Little did I know that I would start showing symptoms that evening. I felt completely fine at church. 

E has been eying this Ivy City Co dress for quote awhile so I got us matching ones for Christmas. She was pretty thrilled. I love matching with my mini. 

 

 Now we need to wear them to Harry Potter World. 

Feeling pretty.

While I was down and out, E made dinner. I taught her hwo to make Chicken Noodle Soup and it turned out fabulously!

Making cookies from her cookbook with Roo. She is one patient sister!

Duke finished his build!! It took him awhile but he did it all himself and I am so dang proud of him!

I challenged E to make different food out of playdoh. I thought I stumped her with soup. Nope, she delivered!

Cheesing with this babe.

WE had some snow and the kids played! It made my heart so happy. Here is Baby Bob.

And Winky.

Roo found boots and a backpack and he was alll sorts of excited to go to school with the kids. Not yet little man, not yet.

This is why Roo isn't allowed to help me with dinner. He has his own pot and is slurping up the water then spitting it back into the pot. Oh sweet mercy this boy.

Just your typical shopping cart ride. 

Packing Peanut fun.

A super fun craft at Wonderscope. You pick out three animals and then turn them into an animal. The girl there was a wonderful cartoonist, E loved this station.

Alright February, we have big plans for you. Starting a renovation, Valentines week and E's birthday. It's going to be busy but hopefully we'll get a lot done. (Spoiler alert, we got some things done.)
