Valentine's Post

I put all of the nutcrackers up except this 1 that looked like the King of Hearts to me.
It has been fun seeing all my Val stuff corralled into this curio in the entry hall.


I made the boys red velvet cupcakes but they were gone so fast I didn't even get a pic of them.  This is technically not a gadget but my huge sponge painted bowl and Pampered Chef spatula make me so happy to use in the kitchen.  It means I'm baking and baking fo my guys makes me happy. 
This is by our tv, non-conventional Val tree.. 
on the closet near the front door..
at the front door for all the lil boys that ding dong daily.

Valentine's Day is such a fun holiday and I hope you've been having lots of fun with it..esp. in the kitchen.
I didn't send out any Valentines and that is not like me.

Happier than a Pig in Mud always has the funnest parties!!
Join the gang for the Kitchen Gadget Party.

Happy Rednesday with

happy hearts

I got this lil glittery red tree at Hobby Lobby 80% off last month.  I used various things from last years clearance sales around town to fill this tree.  It is on my bkfst table delighting us each time we sit or walk by.

When I took down the Christmas decor I put up the Valentine festive pieces from my stash at our front door.  My boys haven't even noticed the Precious Moment boy getting an X-ray with his bootie showing. lol

More coming soon...Happy Hearts make the Lord react to us and move mountains for us!!

It's Thankful Thursday in bloggie world

Icicle wonder

It's Seasonal Sunday in TX.
Gotta show ya'll the way my boys enjoyed our School's Closed on Friday.  It did not snow :(..
Yougest guy got up as early as possible to see if it was snowing...what a let down.
So...we did not get a snow day as much as an ice on the car, roads and plants day.
I thought they were just bringing a piece of ice in but it was much more spectacular than that.
We found icicle stamps on our leaves!!
Wow...really cool!!
They figured out we could lift an imprint right off the leaves.  I'm not sure how they figured that out before smashing it all up.  Boys!! lol
I think we lost a few plants at both houses because we never covered anything up. :/

This is the best cold weather gear we got folks.  We are not use to the 20's/30's around these parts.
 I kept hollerin' at them out the door...remember to protect your hands and ears. lol

Spring Baseball try-outs in front of the coaches the past 2 Saturdays. 
That is Hubby hunkered down in 1 of those chairs.  It looks beautiful and sunny but was very chilly and windy.  Had to worry a little about him hanging out so much the last 2 weekends in the cold, chilly winds.  I think Baseball warms his heart though. :)

Love me some Seasonal Sundays.  Helps us remember to look back at the highlights of the week and realize how blessed we are and how much fun we had!!
