Valentine's Cards

That's right, we attempted our first batch of home-made Valentine Cards! It was a relatively good experience. We did spread it out over both days this weekend as Lorelei got tired of coloring and was having fits over wanting to use the entire bottle of glitter glue. Brad was a big help as I didn't think about how much stuff I would have to glue on before giving it to Lorelei to add her own art work. She also thought it was a lot of fun to draw with marker on her hands. This was also her first time with real markers...seemed to go better than crayons so between those two she had a lot of fun. Excited to start getting into these crafts...gotta love having a girl! Now we have an idea of what to look forward to Wednesday when we have a MOMS Valentine's craft party at our place...we'll see what happens!


Lorelei is also getting very into stickers. Look closely and you will see her doll is covered in them. Other days usually Lorelei is covered but guess they had to try something new. :)

Just more info about the weekend...we got MORE snow (feeling like we live in Nebraska again!?) but thankfully it didn't really stick to the roads and is already mostly melted off.
This also meant we were able to make our photo shoot that we had to reschedule from last weekend. The goal was to get some updated professional pics of Lorelei, which we got. The main reason we tried this photographer, though, was because she was having a special photo shoot with puppies! The puppies ended up a bit older so were on the larger size, larger than Lorelei! Although she LOVED seeing them of course, none of the pics really turned out with them because she was usually squinting or ducking away from getting licked in the face. Whole new appreciation for people who do movies with dogs and kids together! :) At least it made the photo shoot a little more fun for her.

Then I was able to run some errands during nap and then, last but not least, pig out on dips while watching the Super Bowl. :)
