embrace the camera {valentines day 2012}

Valentine's Day snuck up on us this year, I guess that happens sometimes. Normally we would spend the day make special treats for others, but this year we spent the day playing with balloons and decorating with hearts.

I did manage to make some special heart shaped treats for the kids though.

Our treats were far from being fancy, but the kids would disagree. Funny how anything cut into a heart shape immediately becomes super special. I love that about kids!

Feeling a little guilty about the lack of special treats for the kids I dug-out these crazy glow-in-the-dark shades from the Dollar Store.

They were more fun then anything I could have planned.

This little guy couldn't get enough of his bee mask. And after 30 minutes of being in the dark and tripping over way too many toys I was so over these masks... and so weren't the girls.

However, this little boy was still determined to turn off all the lights at any chance he got.

Thank you Dollar Store for such cheap treats and for making our Valentine's Day more special!

So I haven't sewn all week. I said I was done working on the house, but I just cant stop! Really, I may have some issues here folks. This past weekend I decided to tackle the mudroom. I finally stained all the wood and then started organizing all of our stuff.

Its almost finished. I'm just waiting to put up a shelf and paint a few things, then I'm done! Yes, I'm so done working on the house...well maybe!
