Happy Valentines Day!

This year, I had Kolbe help me make Valentines. Turns out he loves to paint. It was fun, and even though it is messy, we'll do it again. Nothing that a warm wash cloth or a bath can't fix. :) He made some cards Nanny and Papa, Gma and Gpa, and his cousins. I made a heart stencil by cutting it out and taping it to the front of the card and then just let him go to town with the paint. When he was done, I just pulled off the stencil, and there was a cute little hand painted heart left. Super easy!

For the next project I got a little smarter and bought some washable paint...DUH! :) No need to use a paint shirt and cover the whole highchair. It wiped right off of everything....Kolbe included. I have a stash of craft supplies that I have moved about a million times (probably 8 to be more accurate) and pulled this wood frame out of the stash and let Kolbe paint it for Mark.

{....totally mesmerized by the paint!!}

Then we got to go to Daddy's office for the first time to deliver the frame and some cinnamon rolls. The frame was cute....the cinnamon rolls may have been a little bit crunchy. In my defense, Kolbe figured out how to open my mascara and has obviously been watching me when I get ready because he knew exactly where it went. So I was a little preoccupied when the timer went off and didn't even hear it.

Kolbe is now sleeping all night - ALL BY HIMSELF - in his own bed. Wooohooo! A full night's sleep is just what this prego needs. :) We're working on the naps now. By the time he's a Big Brother, he'll be a pro at this sleeping thing....and can teach his Little Sister the ropes!

We had some snow here yesterday. Kolbe LOVES his $5 snow boots from Target....even if they are a few sizes too big. He got all bundled up to "help" Mark scoop snow. Too cute!

I've been working on a few major projects here. I hope to be finished by this weekend when we have company so I can share pictures with you. I know you're all dying to know what I'm going to cross off the list! :)

Hope you all had a great Valentines Day!

Much love,

Sara
