Hello from the Mother/Son Dance!

So it's been awhile and since my boys are growing up much faster than I would like, I thought I'd post a quick update before they are grown and gone :-)

We attended the 1st Annual Mother/Son dance in our little town this past weekend!  Jesse was beyond excited to go to this dance with Mama, Trey had to be convinced, but wound up having a pretty good time!  We all did and are already looking forward to next year!  And my babies clean up nice!  They looked very dapper in their dress duds and neither complained about wearing them!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Our Valentines

We made our own Valentines this year and had a blast doing it!  (Thanks Pinterest!)  First, we had to peel the paper off of and break into pieces many, many, many crayons!

 

Then we took the broken crayon pieces and randomly placed them in our star muffin tin.

   

And into the oven…220 degrees for about 20 minutes.  I kept a close eye on the crayons since I wanted to pull them out of the oven before the colors melted into pure liquid and became a solid brown color.

   

It took a little bit of trial and error but at the end of the day we had  14 beautiful star crayons!

Jesse wanted his put on “star” valentines. 

The boys’ valentine’s said, “You’re a Superstar!” and the girls’ said, “Jesus’ love is out of this world!”

 

Trey wanted his to be in the shape of hearts, and they all said, “Jesus’ love is out of this world!”  Our valentine’s were super easy to make and  a huge hit in both the kindergarten and 4th grade.
