Yesterday morning Maggie noticed a small bruise on her forehead. When she pointed it out to us, Dave told her, “I bet you’re going to be a unicorn when you grow up. That’s where your horn is starting to grow.”
Maggie was super excited with this news and later I heard her telling the boys that she’s going to be a unicorn when she gets big and her horn is already starting to grow.
She’s going to be a great unicorn.
There was an art show at the kids’ school last week.
It was so nice to see their work framed. (We just took pictures with the art – since they were $25 a piece.)
Plus we get all the art we need for free. In the above beauty, Maggie used the carrot to give the snowman a mustache instead of a nose. She’s so innovative.
Annie had her hair cut for the first time today. I wasn’t sure how she’d handle it, but she did really well.
Before:
During:
And after:
It’s much less scraggly looking now and the cut really made her little curls stand out. Of course, she put her hood up (and ran straight to the balloons) as soon as she got out of the airplane, so that messed it up a bit.
I took the kids to a party supply store to pick out valentines goodies for their classmates and teachers.
Maggie and Luke both picked out yo-yos, but wanted me to make them different cards.
Adam picked out little bendable ninja figures.
They all agreed to do foam fingers for their teachers.
Maggie picked out fabric for shirts for her and Annie.
Annie and I met Dave out for lunch and our booth gave her a great view of the kitchen.
I bought plain shirts for the boys and then let them design what they wanted on the front of them. Luke went with Minecraft and Adam wanted something to do with Mickey Mouse.
Maggie helped me make some valentine cookies.
They were peanut butter with chocolate hearts on top.
We ended out evening with some games.
Of course we had to include Valentine’s Day Bingo.
We all agreed that Maggie’s cookies were delicious.
Don’t forget to floss.
