Sophia's Fortune

Sophia's class has been learning about China and Chinese New Year. One of their activities this week was making fortune cookies. Printed on the strips of paper were the beginnings of sentences.

You will travel to....
Your family will....

The kids then filled in the rest of the sentence.


My favorite was the following by Sophia:

You will find money when...You look in your Mom's wallet.

Sand in our toes...in February!

The laundry is piling up
The dishes aren't done
The floors are getting sticky
I'm out of milk and probably haven't made a decent meal all week.


ALL BECAUSE OF THIS...




AND THIS...


AND THIS...



When we lived in Florida, I wouldn't have considered this beach weather. BUT, in the Pacific Northwest, a week filled with sun and in the mid 60's in February means Spring is coming early!! So, we took advantage and spent the week playing at some of our favorite beaches around the hood.

Valentine's Day

I'll admit I'm a total geek when it comes to birthdays and holidays, as the evidence will show...(It looks like Cupid came in and puked all over my house making it look all cutesy)



My flowers :-)



The kids Valentines and treats



I couldn't just do the dining room



Heart shaped everything food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (so dorky, I know. Luckily Jay and the kids have a sense of humor)

Hayden is 4!!

My baby boy turned 4 and it all seems to be going too fast..
At least he still has some chubbiness in the face, has some blonde hair to go with the big brown eyes, and likes to snuggle me and tell me he loves me. :-)
