The Lorax

I am so excited for the Lorax to come out in theaters this Friday. The books is great!  I read it to my class and son quite often.  I originally planned to have a Lorax pre-party before going to the movie this Friday, but my son has his first t-ball practice so I am going to hold out.  I have found some great ideas on Google and Pinterest, so I though I would share some of my favorites.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you have a wonderful day with the people you love.

Valentine...I have my eye on you!

So while pinning one evening, I found this cute valentine:

I loved it, but did not have a Cricut cartridge with a monster.  I also knew that my 4 year old could not cut something like that out, so I designed a monster valentine for my preschooler to color in.  

You can probably guess which one my four year old made.  I made a sample to show him what it could look like with googly eyes glued on.  He has loved coloring them in and they are all different.  On the inside he writes his name and is so proud of them.  I've always loved homemade Valentine's more than store bought ones.  Of course we will be attaching some sort of yummy to each one before he hands them out to his preschool buddies.  

I thought I would share, so here is a copy.  They print two to a page.  

I hope you enjoy it!  Let me know how they turn out for you.

Football Treats

Wow, I can't believe it is already February!  Time is flying around here.  I thought I would share some fun football treats I have found around the web.  This weekend is the Super Bowl and even though my team is not in the game, I still enjoy getting together with friends.  We go to a friend's house and the guys watch the game, the kids play outside (it's supposed to be in the mid-high 60's), and the ladies just chat and watch the commercials!
