Fun!

Van loves getting mail and we love doing crafty stuff together! L sent us supplies to create a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" garland. Van gets to choose the tag and stick the letters on them, then we will tie them all together with lovely ribbon (one of Lezlie's favorite things), and hang to celebrate the beginning of his 4th year! Thank you :)

OK...twist my arm...

Global Explorers

After listening to the great experiences a co-worker had with her children through this organization...I think a trip should be planned...

Van got to go to the birthday party of a dear friend at the House of Pounce...they sure pounced!

Hope your Saturday was as fulfilling as ours :)

Akward...and irritating...

Venting: Last night, as we left swimming lessons with our sweet friends we walked right by a teacher from Van's worst school experience ever.  I would have normally ducked, hid, ran the other way but we needed to use the same door so this was impossible.  She didn't even acknowledge me...I wanted to say: Look! Look at him...he's happy, healthy, thriving...doing everything you doubted.  When we got in the car Van said, "I saw her...she smiled at me...she likes me now."  Ugh...rip out a mom's heart. No child should ever feel like they are not cared about or liked at school, even if they offer you challenges!

OK...I'm better!

Yes....

Van's Valentines

We planned on making these lovelies but what I thought was a heart-shaped-muffin tin was actually, really plastic-the meltable kind of ice-cube tray. Duh...sometimes I don't know how I made it this far ;)

I still wanted to have a candy-free, sweet, and Van-liked Valentine for his buddies and cousins.  Luckily I came across these! Aren't they cute :) I would recommend that if you have a boy, that isn't into writing and sitting still...do 2-3 cards a night.  He loved writing his name...a couple times.
