My Little Valentines

This week we have been preparing for valentines day! Holidays ( big or small) are always so much fun when you have little kids in the house. On Monday, John & Audrey made Valentine cards for their grandparents.


It was a simple craft that included crayons, glue, & glitter, and my kids LOVE glitter:) I also had John write (trace) the name of the recipient on each card, and then sing his own name not traced!!!

Then on Tuesday morning we went to story hour at our Public Library where the theme was also valentines day. John thoroughly looks forward to this hour each week. I'd like to say he enjoys going because of the stories, songs, and crafts, but I'll let you decided for yourself just why John enjoys story hour so much.


Audrey enjoys singing and dancing, but once they start reading stories we lose her, and she ends up just being more of a distraction to the group than anything. So I have found that its much easier to let her play with a toy in the corner.

Like I already said this weeks theme was Valentines Day, so this is what they made for crafts. Don't they look thrilled?

LOL! I laugh every time I look at this picture. I think they where more annoyed that I was making them stand still for a picture than anything. Because they really enjoyed making their hats and sporting them along with all their little friends.



A friend of mine also made us a Valentine garland that the kids and I absolutely love!She's very talented, she's makes and sells Eco friendly toys, pillows, aprons and so much more. Check out her blog here, http://maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com

Isn't it adorable? It's all hand made even the pompoms! I'm telling you you'll want to check out the rest of her stuff! She also as an Etsy account, where you can buy her products. There is a link to her shop right on the blog.
Other than that, there has not been much going on this week. I took Audrey to have her hearing tested on Tuesday, and she is hearing but not as clearly as she should, due to the ear infections. Next we see an ENT specialist on the 23rd to talk about putting tubes in her ears, which I'm under the impression should clear everything up. In the meantime we are still waiting for the kids glasses, that should be here any day. They are very anxious for their arrival, hopefully they are as excited to keep them on once we get them!
