Howdy ho!

The other day was "wear red for Women's heart health awareness day". Did you know about this? Did you wear red?

I was getting Kelly ready for the day and she was watching the news.

What?

A five year old watching the news is strange to you? My Kelly likes to be kept up to date with all of the worlds current events.

That, and I don't let her change the channel.

So anyway....we were watching the news and they told us that you should wear red.

Kelly took this as a command from the all mighty television gods. She insisted on wearing red that day. Red IS her favorite color. It was not a hard thing to do.

I used to walk Kelly to her kindergarten classroom. Right up to the door even.

Lately my precious little gift has been requesting that I only drop her off.

Just drop her off.

Word on the street is..... Kelly is a BIG girl now.

I was informed that BIG girls do not need to be walked to the door. BIG girls just blow their Mommy a kiss and walk all by them selves to the door.

Or in Kelly's case, they RUN to the door. Mostly she spots a fellow class mate, then she challenges them to a race to the door.

Yes, she wins.

That picture is a blurry image of her racing to the door. Apparently you can't capture a Kelly Jess running with a simple camera. It has to be a super fast NASA camera or something like that.

She is that fast!

I REALLY do have so much to say today. We have been a busy busy family this weekend.

For now I shall back-track.

The fabulous Valentines day is approaching swiftly. Remember in elementary school when Valentines day was fun? You would make a sweet Valentine mailbox. Then all of your classmates would give you sweet cards.

I would sit on the phone and talk to my friends about the hidden meaning of my Bart Simpson Valentine from the cute kid. Love it!

Now it is fun to help Kelly with her cards. She is old enough to write her own messages on her cards, it is so dang precious.

I sit with her when she writes them. She tells me about the little person that she is giving it too. It is a riot.

We are going to Grandma Cooper's Valentine's Day party this Saturday. It is fun to go to and see all of the family that lives in different parts of the state.

I am going to make these butterfly cards to give to our little kiddos in the family. I found the idea on this cute blog. There are soooo many great ideas on there. Loooove it. Check it out.... skip to my lou

Then I am going to make these cookie tins. I found them at little birdie secrets. It is a great site... I have Nicole to thank for that gem.

On Friday I went with my Mom to the thrift store and there was quite a few cookie tins for me to buy.

So I did.

Now I am just decorating them...then I am going to put yummy things in them.

What yummy things?

These yummy things.

Then I am going to give them away to my lovely ladies.

So, I better stop rambling and finish them up.

I am excited about having a project to do!!!!!





So is Ali!

(I will tell you more about why another time)

Can you tell?
