My "Big Papa" and Valentine's Day




Well...Grant is developing quite the reputation at day care these days. They tell me he is the heaviest kid in the class and the best eater. I don't know if I should be really proud of these things...but I am! My boy is so cute! One of his teachers has taken to calling him "Big Papa". Apparently he loves repeating the word papa and it cracks him up when they call him that.

Also...here are some pictures from his Valentine's Day party at school. It was mostly a junk food festival of fun. I think he enjoyed it though. He is not smiling in the pictures since he wanted to leave as soon as we showed up. He is a creature of habit. :)

By the way...I made the cupcakes!!! (Such the homeroom mother...not!!! ps...Kirk iced the cupcakes - he made me put that in)

Garage sale treasures!


Every now and then I like to participate in some bargain basement shopping...garage sales! I don't hit them up every weekend, but if I pass one and I think I might see something I need I will stop and rummage around. Lately, I have found some really cute things for my little Grant that I am quite proud of myself for finding. This blue car that he is sitting in is now one of his favorites. Everytime I bring him inside the house from the garage...we pass it and he almost jumps out of my arms to play with it. It is too cute! The slide behind him didn't come from a garage sale, but we did get it off Craigslist...another good buy! This past weekend I bought him a little lawn mover and baseball game and some board books in really great condition! Our house if full of toys...but it is amazing what you can buy for 5 bucks!!!
Notice my little Lola on the far right side of the picture. Isn't she pretty!
