We have had a pretty rough and long winter up here in the mountains. So needless to say we have a bit of cabin fever! So I decided to put the kids in there swimsuits, fill up the bathtub and color the water a pretty blue, and we pretended we were on vacation in the tropics! I know it sounds silly but the kids loved it!

I also decided to make the kids valentines this year instead of just buying the ones at the store like everyone else does…to all the other mothers this is another one of my ideas that sound good in theory but kind of turned out to be not so fun, I forgot at 2 and 4 they would loose interest pretty fast and I would be the one who did all the work! But I’m still glad I did it and I will probably make this a tradition every year. Both of my kids are amazing and they deserve all the special things I can possible do for them! Taylor picked out a flower valentine that she wanted for her class, and Drake decided to take a fruit rollup and wrap it in scrap booking paper and write “I like the way you roll” on it! We then traced there hands on construction paper and I cut them out and wrote “you deserve a hand” on the cut outs and we glued them to the side of a bottle of hand lotion they bought for each one of there teachers. Of course Taylor had to make four even though she only has two teacher because we made one for the director of her school and the coordinator.

 
They are truly amazing up there at Pitter Patter Pathways, we have such a great relationship with all of them and they all love Taylor to death, most of them even call her Toot! I am really hoping that they decide to start offering classes past pre-school. That would be an answer to a lot of my prayers. I have always disliked the school system up here and Jason will not allow Taylor to go to a private school. But I know he would like for Toot to continue her education under Sarah’s care. So lets pray they do decide to expand!
